Which factors determine the total wooden floor price per m2?

Buying a sustainable wooden floor is not always an easy process. When you search online for a wooden floor price per m2, you will see many differences per provider. Why are these prices so different? Below are 7 factors that influence the cost of a wooden floor.

1. Type of wood

The first factor that influences the price is the choice of wood mortar. Planks from European wood species, such as French oak, are generally cheaper than tropical hardwood, such as jatoba and black kabbes.

Each wood specie has its own characteristics and wood grain and the final choice is a matter of taste, budget and application. For example, for heavily trafficked areas it is best to use a harder wood specie that is more resistant to possible damage.

Oak is the most popular wood mortar in the Netherlands for a wooden floor. Oak floors have excellent durable properties at a good price.

2. Type of wooden floor

Wooden floors are available as solid wood floors or engineered floors. Prices for solid wooden floors are higher than engineered floors, because engineered floors consists of several layers with a top layer of wood.

A solid wooden floor consists of one thick(er) wood layer that is glued to the subfloor. Engineered floor can be installed floating and is suitable for underfloor heating and can also be used in apartments. Oak engineered floors in combination with underfloor heating has the best price/quality ratio. We can also take care of the installation of the underfloor heating for you and offer this as a separate service, without purchasing a wooden floor. The advantage of having both a wooden floor and underfloor heating installed is that all work is carried out by one party. This means that schedules are better coordinated and you always have one central point of contact. You will also receive a combination discount if you have us install both. An affordable and warm solution!

3. Origin and quality of the wood

The strength class of wood indicates the maximum load and gives an indication for which constructions the wood is suitable. The strength of the wood mortar is influenced by brushes, thread pattern and the way the wood is dried. The hardness of a wood mortar is expressed in Janka.

The durability class of wood concerns the resistance of the wood to (biological) attacks and gives a good indication of the expected lifespan of the wood. There are 5 durability classes, one of which is very durable and five of which is not very durable. Oak wood falls into class 2 or 3 (15-25 years), depending on the type of oak wood. The term 'sustainability' here says something about the quality of the wood and nothing about the price or strength of the

Strong and durable wood is very important for a living room, kitchen, office or shop floor because the floors in these high-traffic areas are more susceptible to damage and wear. Buying a cheap wooden floor in this situation can mean that the floor needs to be replaced within a short time.

Quality differences

In recent years, the European market has been flooded with parquet floors from Asia, mainly China. Parquet from China is often 25-35% cheaper. The low price is not only due to lower wages, but mainly due to the way in which the floors are produced.

The Chinese often compose their parquet from different oak species that they import worldwide. They regularly use the sapwood and not the heartwood as a top layer for parquet . Sapwood is the softer wood between the bark and heartwood of a tree and is more susceptible to damage and mold.

By producing under great time pressure, the drying process is often shortened. This causes various problems that drastically reduce the quality of the parquet floor. The beautiful wood grain in the parquet is often no longer clearly visible and the strength and durability of the wooden floor is considerably less.

Before you buy a wooden floor, it is wise to ask the parquet installer about the origin of the wood and to assess the planks yourself by visiting the showroom.

The final choice depends on the application and your wishes. Do you have a space that you hardly visit or only stay temporarily? Then you can consider buying a cheap wooden floor. 

The love for wood and design is big at Uipkes. That is why we only supply the best wood from demonstrably sustainably managed forests in Europe. The wood is dried and processed here in the Netherlands by professionals.

4. Width & thickness of the wood layer

The wider and longer the planks are and the thicker the wood layer, the more expensive the wooden floor per m2. Wide, long planks are very beautiful in large spaces, such as offices and stately mansions. To produce wide wooden planks you need larger trees, which makes the costs higher.

Uipkes can supply primal parts up to 38 cm. The advantage of a thick wood layer is that the floor can be sanded and refinished after 5 to 10 years, so that you can enjoy your wooden floor even longer. This applies to both solid wooden floors and engineered wooden floors from Uipkes.

5. Finishing

You can oil, varnish and/or smoke a wooden floor. Finishing a wooden floor is necessary to apply a layer of protection. If this is not done, the wood will become contaminated and affected by liquids.

By adding a color pigment to the oil it is possible to 'color' the planks. The finishing process takes place in three to seven steps. This explains why one white wooden floor can differ in price from another type of white wooden floor. 

In addition, Uipkes also offers you the option to renovate your stairs in the same color as your wooden floor to create beautiful transitions between rooms and floors.

6. Craftsmanship and project management

When you buy a wooden floor, consider leaving the installation to an experienced parquet installer. Most installation patterns, such as a Versailles pattern or herringbone pattern, require craftsmanship to achieve a nice, sleek result. The choice of a wooden floor including installation naturally affects the total price.

In addition to craftsmanship, good project management is of great importance for (business) projects. Think of an office floor, shop floor or a wooden floor in a monumental building. For these projects, knowledge of laws and regulations is necessary to apply for building permits. Collaboration and communication with the owner, architect and other construction professionals often plays an important role. The planning and execution of all construction work requires good coordination between all parties involved.

7. Other additional costs

Another important reason why the prices shown show large differences is that providers do not include any additional costs in the price per m2. As a result, in some cases the final price per m2 can be more than 40% higher than initially indicated.

So pay close attention and inform yourself about this with the provider of the wooden floor. Consider additional costs such as:

  • Subfloor: Sometimes it is necessary to improve the quality of the existing subfloor. Our wooden floors can be installed on virtually all subfloors. It is important that the subfloor must be permanently dry, flat, hard, clean and load-bearing. The costs for leveling subfloors are often not included in the prices offered.
  • Glue costs: primer and glue costs.
  • Skirting boards: the material costs of MDF or solid skirting boards including installation. If desired, we can also install wooden floors without skirting boards, sawn tightly against the wall.
  • Installation costs: the costs for having a wooden floor installed and applied on site in the personally desired color by the parquet installer (see also point 6).
  • Maintenance oil and/or cleaner: for maintenance of the wooden floor. At Uipkes you get these items plus a stylish hygrometer as a gift! With the hygrometer you can measure the humidity in your home.
  • Pre-inspection: check composition, moisture percentage, flatness, subfloor surface, discuss details about implementation, relative humidity.
  • Delivery costs and warranty: our wooden floors prices include delivery costs throughout the Netherlands and a 5-year CBW warranty, without down payment.
  • VAT: the VAT on material and installation costs. All our prices include VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines the price of a wooden floor?

The price of a wooden floor can be influenced by various factors. Here are some important factors that can determine the price:

  1. Wood type: the price varies depending on the wood specie you choose. Tropical hardwood is often more expensive than popular wood species such as oak, walnut and maple.
  2. The sorting of the wood:Does a plank have no/small knots or large knots? If there are no knots in the product, the price is higher than a product with knots.
  3. Quality and finish: The quality of the wood and the finish of the floor can affect the price. A high-quality finish with additional protective layers can increase costs.
  4. Dimensions and thickness: The dimensions of the wooden planks and the thickness of the wood influence the price. Larger or wider planks are often more expensive than smaller sizes.
  5. Pattern and complexity: If you choose a special pattern such as herringbone or chevron, this may increase the price due to the additional labor and materials required for installation.
  6. Installation method:The installation method can also affect the price. Floating installation is generally cheaper than bonded installation because less prep work and materials are required.
  7. Brand and supplier:Different brands and suppliers may have varying prices based on their quality and service.
  8. Additional Options: Additional options such as special finishes, edge finishes, sound insulation or moisture barriers may increase the price.

It's important to set a budget and compare different options before choosing a wooden floor. Consulting different suppliers and obtaining quotes can help you better understand the price variation and make the best choice that suits your needs and budget.
