Beautiful wood flooring will transform the look and feel of any room, but not all wood floors are the same and a second best solution won't look, feel or wear the same way. It's crucial to work with a partner you can trust to offer high quality solutions and genuine expert advice to help you make the right choice. Here are 10 reasons why we believe Broadleaf is that partner.

1. REAL WOOD SPECIALISTS

We are not just passionate about real wood, we are real wood specialists, with genuine expertise. Our team have been buying timber and making flooring for over 25 years. They worry about those things that you can’t see but that make a real difference to the way wood flooring performs over time, such as the origin of the timber, how it's dried and for how long and the precision of the machining, so that you don’t have to and you can just rest assured your wood flooring will be of the highest standard.

2. QUALITY UK MANUFACTURE

We don't just sell wood flooring, we make wood flooring, here in the UK (well Wales to be exact). Every Broadleaf floor passes through many expert hands before it leaves our warehouse,and each detail from the humidity of the timber to the colour of the final floor is meticulously checked to exacting British standards.

3. UNRIVALLED CHOICE

As well as quality, being UK manufacturers also means that we can offer unrivalled choice and flexibility. Whether you are looking for solid or engineered wood flooring, in a plank or parquet format, to suit a contemporary or traditional interior, between our current collections and extensive archive we have literally hundreds of options. In addition to that, as every floor is made to order, we can adapt it easily to individual needs whether that be changing the grade of timber a floor is made on, adding or removing texture, or producing it with a different level of sheen. We can also produce entirely bespoke floors to match or mimic existing wood flooring, or to meet a particular design brief.

4. AWARD WINNING WOOD FLOORING

We are proud to have won various industry awards over the years including product excellence awards for our Strata engineered flooring, and most recently Best Wood Flooring Manufacturer UK 2018 and Best Wood Flooring Retailer UK 2019.

5. RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Wood at at the heart of everything we do here at Broadleaf and responsibly managed it is an naturally sustainable resource. We are committed to promoting responsible forestry, it is our lifeblood, and so we only source our Oak from responsibly managed European forests, most of which are PEFC or FSC certified and have been visited by us. 

6. PROFESSIONAL DURABLITY

All Broadleaf wood flooring is finished with high performance wood finishes designed for commercial wear, so you can be confident of the same excellent durability and low maintenance whether your project is a busy family home, Jamie's Italian or the T5 Business Lounge.

7. DESIGN LED INNOVATION

As manufacturers innovation and design are part of our everyday. We don't just make wood flooring, we design it, to be beautiful and practical, to stand the test of time and to complement the spectrum of design styles. We are constantly developing new finishes and new methods of production so that we can deliver unrivalled choice and quality. This means that whatever your brief, we should have a solution.

8. INSPIRING SHOWROOMS

We strongly believe that a beautiful showroom is the best place to choose wood flooring as it is so much easier to understand the different options, appreciate their quality and see how they evolve.  In our inspiring showrooms you can see and walk on large areas of flooring, talk to our friendly expert teams in a relaxed atmosphere and see the Broadleaf difference for yourself. Although we don't have showrooms within reach of everyone yet, if you can visit one we are confident it will be worth the effort. And if you can't we are always happy to arrange a virtual visit.

9. FAMILY VALUES

Broadleaf is a family business based on family values, founded and still run by a husband & wife team. We are proud to include within our ranks our two brothers and many long serving staff, including several other family groups. We take a personal approach to all of our clients and work hard to make sure that everyone receives first class customer service.

10. RECOMMENDATION

70% of our business comes from recommendation and referrals, a statistic of which we are very proud and which we hope speaks volumes.
