Large Planks Make A Comeback

Your flooring shouldn’t just be practical, creating a space that’s stylish and luxurious is important too. Choosing wider planks has been the ultimate hack this winter for a seamless and spacious feel to any room. As the nights draw in and more evenings are spent indoors, creating that open feel has never been so important.

New Engineered Wood Flooring

A new trend this season is engineered wood flooring, offering the look of real wood but with more stability. The textured finish mimics natural wood grain, but with a more versatile design. It is even suitable for high-humidity rooms as it is less prone to warping than real wood. At Frank’s, we offer a curated collection of engineered wood flooring with options of UV oiled or lacquered brushed finish.
