Genuine solid oak flooring is an investment for decades. That is why the quality of the material, the production and the installation matter just as much as the choice of wood itself. We manufacture every plank to order and handle the entire process — from the consultation to the final installation.
Over 25 years of experience
For more than two decades we have been manufacturing and installing natural wood floors. We know the particulars of solid oak flooring and how to choose the right construction, size and technology for each project.
Our own production in Bulgaria
Every plank is made to order at our facility in the village of Trud. We control the quality of the timber, the drying, the machining and every stage of production.
European oak without compromise
We work with carefully selected European oak — natural beauty, strength and the ability to be refinished many times over the years.
Sizes to match your project
You are not limited to stock sizes. We make solid oak flooring in widths from 80 to 180 mm, in a range of lengths, grades and finishes tailored to the particular interior.
Durable finishes and professional protection
We use professional Loba and Vermeister oils and lacquers, chosen to suit how the room is used and the look you want.
One contractor. One warranty.
Consultation, production, delivery, installation and ongoing maintenance — all of it is carried out by Artistico. One team is responsible for the end result.
Send us a plan, dimensions or a photo of the room and we will help you choose the right sizes, grade and finish for your solid oak floor.
What is solid oak flooring and why does it stay relevant generation after generation?
Solid wood flooring is a plank made entirely of one material — European oak, 20 mm thick. No layers, no plywood, no adhesives within the construction itself. This is the traditional form of parquet as it has been since the 19th century — and as it is expected to remain for generations to come.
Why does this matter? True 20-millimetre oak gives the floor maximum depth for renewal — at least 6–8 full sanding cycles and new finishes over its lifetime. That is the difference between a floor one family passes on to the next and a floor replaced every 20–30 years.
At Artistico we manufacture solid oak flooring in widths from 80 to 180 mm and lengths from 400 to 1600 mm as standard (up to 2000 mm on custom orders). The oak comes from European suppliers, dried and graded in Bulgaria, and processed in our own factory in Trud. No middlemen. No import compromises.
Solid or engineered parquet — which construction suits your home better?
Both are made from natural European oak and can last for decades. The difference lies in the construction and in the conditions where each one performs at its best.
| Criterion | Solid oak flooring | Engineered oak flooring |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | One solid piece of European oak, 20 mm | 4 mm oak top layer on a stable birch plywood core |
| Refinishing potential | 6–8 full sanding and refinishing cycles | 3–4 refinishing cycles depending on the thickness of the top layer |
| Expected lifespan | 80–100 years or more | 30–60 years |
| Underfloor heating | Possible with proper design, but more demanding | The more stable and recommended choice |
| Wide planks | More sensitive to humidity changes above 180 mm | Better dimensional stability up to 220 mm |
| Response to indoor climate changes | Requires a more stable indoor climate | More tolerant of seasonal changes |
| Feel | 100% solid wood | Natural oak with greater structural stability |
| Suitable for | Classic homes, restorations and interiors seen as a long-term investment | Contemporary homes, underfloor heating and wide formats |
Solid parquet is the choice for people who want a classic construction made from a single piece of wood and the option to refinish it many times. Engineered oak flooring offers the same natural look, but greater stability for underfloor heating, wide planks and contemporary homes.
Not sure which construction suits you better? Send us the floor area, a plan or a photo of the room and we will recommend a solution based on how the space is used, the heating and your requirements.
Configure your solid wood floor
We manufacture to order for each specific project. Below are the main parameters we use to shape the specification together with you.
Dimensions — width 80 to 180 mm
Length 400 to 1600 mm as standard, up to 2000 mm on custom orders. Thickness 20 mm for all solid models. Below — a visual comparison of the widths.
Oak grades — choose the character
Wood is the perfectly imperfect material. The photos show general characteristics, but every natural wood floor is a unique expression of nature. All floors, whatever the grade, will show variations in grain and character.
Standard
Puts all of oak's natural tendencies on display. Striking heartwood grain, beautiful knots and winding streaks of sapwood.
Plus
A balanced selection between a clean look and intriguing character. The universal choice — suited to both classic and contemporary projects.
Antique
An expressive character marked by time — larger knots, natural cracks and a warmer, aged tone. For interiors where the floor tells a story.
Colors and tones
Natural, smoked, whitewashed, hand-patinated, dark tones. Color matching is possible — send us a photo or a sample and we reproduce it. With solid wood, every new sanding cycle also allows a new color — a freedom engineered flooring cannot offer in the same way.
Finishes
Natural oil (natural protection, easy to refresh), hardwax oil (more stain-resistant), UV lacquer (maximum protection). Loba systems (Germany). For solid wood we often recommend oil — easier to maintain and renew over time.
What determines the price of solid oak flooring?
Every floor is made for a specific project, so the price depends on the combination of sizes, finishing and the complexity of the work. After a short consultation we will recommend the right solution and prepare an indicative quote.
Plank dimensions
Wider and longer lamellas call for a more careful selection of the timber and more material. That is why a 180 mm plank costs more than an 80 mm one over the same area.
Oak grade
Cleaner grades with fewer knots and a more uniform structure are rarer within the same log, which places them in a higher class.
Color and finish
Natural lacquer is the baseline. Stains, smoking, whitening, hand patination and work to a sample require additional production steps.
Quantity and shape of the room
A technical allowance for cutting is added to the net area. It depends on the laying direction and on the number of corners, alcoves and transitions.
Condition of the subfloor
A level, dry screed means the floor can be laid directly. Unevenness or high moisture calls for grinding, leveling or waiting time — work that is calculated separately.
Installation and finishing details
Skirting boards, transition profiles, thresholds, stairs and non-standard details are part of the total. That is why the quote lists them separately.
There is no universal price for a quality solid oak floor. Two floors of the same area can differ in cost depending on the chosen sizes, grade, finish and method of installation. Our aim is not to offer the lowest price, but the right solution for your home.
Why solid oak flooring lasts for generations
In engineered oak flooring the construction is a "sandwich" — oak on top, plywood underneath, all bonded together. In solid wood the plank is one single piece of wood. No layers, no plywood, no adhesives within the construction itself. That simplicity is both its strength and its temperament.
Protective layer
Loba UV lacquer or oil (Germany). Selected to match the traffic load and the desired look.
20 mm solid European oak
One whole plank from end to end. No plywood, no layers and no compromise on the material.
Can be refinished many times
That real thickness allows 6–8 full sandings and a new finish, so the floor can look new even after decades.
Glued-down installation
Installation with two-component polyurethane adhesive and a moisture barrier — a system that gives maximum stability and a long service life.
When would we recommend engineered oak flooring instead of solid oak flooring?
Solid oak flooring is an exceptionally long-lasting solution, but it is not the right choice for every room. When the project calls for it, we will recommend engineered oak flooring instead. What matters most to us is that the floor performs without trouble for years. Here is when that applies:
Active underfloor heating: solid wood works, but demands a strict indoor climate (40–60% humidity year-round). Engineered oak flooring handles temperature swings considerably better.
Wide planks over 180 mm: at this width solid wood "breathes" noticeably. Engineered oak flooring stays stable up to 220–300 mm without risk.
Rooms exposed to moisture or aggressive air conditioning: offices, showrooms, spaces with frequent swings in relative humidity or temperature. Solid wood reacts to these changes.
A need for a clean look: if the interior calls for an almost knot-free surface, engineered oak flooring is the more sensible balance between look, stability and budget. Solid oak in the cleanest grade costs 4x more than engineered flooring.
The right recommendation is not always the most expensive product. When the project calls for it, we are happy to recommend engineered oak flooring. Because years later the client will remember not what we sold, but whether we were right.
From the idea to the finished solid oak floor — in 6 steps
A transparent process. One contractor at every stage — no middlemen and no responsibility passed around.
Enquiry and a few short questions
Send us the area, a plan or a photo of the room. We will discuss whether solid oak flooring is right for your project and recommend a width (80–180 mm), a grade (Standard / Plus / Antique), a color and a finish.
Site visit and professional assessment
On larger projects we visit the site — we measure, check the subfloor, the moisture of the screed and the indoor climate, because these are what determine how long solid oak flooring will last.
Real samples and an individual quote
We choose the color and finish and prepare a sample. Then a complete quote based on the site survey. An advance payment starts the project.
Made-to-order production 4–6 weeks
Every board is made specifically for the project in hand — drying, machining, profiling and finishing. For non-standard colors or sizes the lead time may be slightly longer.
Delivery and professional installation
Our own installation teams. Glued-down installation with 2K polyurethane and a moisture barrier — no click systems, no floating underlay.
Warranty and care
Cleaning recommendations and an annual check-up when needed.
