At Kite we believe there are way too many flooring options available. For this reason, we offer a narrow range that covers most design and technical requirements. Each range has its own distinct features and benefits, and we clearly explain how each floor is priced.
The Newington Range – This is our entry-level straight wood floor option. It combines 190mm wide Oak planks with two coats of Ciranova Oil (basically the BMW of wood oils). The floor is brushed between coats of oil so the oil sits deep within the wood structure offering maximum protection. It’s a straightforward process to make our Newington range so pricing starts from £68 per m², which is our Lewis finish. Some of these floors we sell directly online others we make to order. We’re pretty confident that this floor is one of the best value wood floors in the UK market today.
The Clissold Range – This range is stained with a reactive oil before the application of the oil topcoat. This means you get more consistency of colour than our Newington Range. It also means you can achieve more unusual colours such as our Light Scandi Silvia floor or our Grey or Black floors. This floor is completely made to order so you can specify the shape, thickness, width and grade (so how many knots). These floors are more expensive than our Newington Range because i) the stains take longer to dry and 2) we use French Oak, giving us more flexibility on widths. Pricing starts from £90 per m².
The Kent Range – This is where we keep our off-the-shelf patterned floors, such as Chevron and Herringbone. Some of these floors are finished in Belgium, others in different parts of the world. All of them are regularly fitted by Kite. Pricing starts from £69 per m².
The Reclaimed Range – Here we keep our reclaimed effect floors. These floors are heavy brushed, cross sawed, stained, distressed and more. The effect is you have a new floor, that looks like it’s been around for 100s of years and is significantly more affordable and available than a genuine reclaimed floor. Pricing starts from £90 per m².
The Epping Range – Our Epping Range are our magnet floors; people are simply drawn to them. What makes them different is how the grains pop in a different colour. These floors are all made to order, which means you can have any shape, width or thickness.
Bespoke Floors – For the majority of customers, our four floor ranges will deal with their requirements. However, we’re also aware that sometimes clients need something bespoke; whether it’s a flooring picture you’ve fallen in love with, or we need to try and match an existing floor. This is when you need our bespoke service.
Hardened Wood – It’s a real wood floor with a super thin veneer on its surface and then a strong plank core (it’s three times harder than a standard engineered plank). At Kite, we believe this type of floor is the future of flooring; if the finishing of the wood is good enough, why do you need thick top layers? These floors come into their own when, 1) you’re looking for super clean floors (very few knots…) at a great price point and 2) sustainability is your top priority.
Premium Laminate – If you think of Laminate, the last word you think of is “Premium”. But that is exactly what our Laminates are. Premium Laminates don’t really get sold in the UK, as customers normally go with a vinyl or a cheap wood product. However, the performance of these high spec Laminates blows those floors at similar price points out the water. Our Laminates are super strong, water resistant and have a matt, brushed finish making them incredibly realistic. You can order samples and purchase this floor through us online.
