Havwoods is a UK company that supplies wood flooring and other wood surfaces. This profile reports what the company publishes on its own UK website. It is a description of the range, not a ranking.
What is Havwoods?
The home page describes Havwoods as a supplier of luxury wood flooring and surfaces, and says it has led the flooring industry "since 1975"1. The contact page gives its head office and South Lakes showroom as Carnforth Business Park, Oakwood Way, Carnforth, Lancashire LA5 9FD3. The home page also lists showrooms in Clerkenwell and Chelsea in London and a design studio in Knutsford, Cheshire1.
What does the range include?
Beyond flooring, the site lists walls and ceilings, joinery and cabinetry, acoustics, curves, stairs and profiles, furniture and veneers1. The wood flooring page also lists TreeAzzo and Patterna end grain surfaces2; our page on end grain flooring explains how that construction works.
The flooring is grouped by colour and by format. Colour groups include Platinum, Blonde, Honey, Auburn, Brunette, Cocoa, Smoky Grey and Monochrome. Formats include wide, medium and narrow plank, herringbone, chevron, and Versailles and other patterns, and the page notes a bespoke service described as "a concept, not a collection"2. See our guides to herringbone flooring, chevron flooring and Versailles panels.
Which species and constructions are named?
The page lists oak, walnut, Douglas fir and bog oak2. It describes engineered boards with a thick top layer (Venture Plank), traditional solid timber parquetry (Gold Leaf), a tongue-and-groove profile (V Collection) and a click-system board (PurePlank)2. The wider background is covered on our pages for European oak and engineered wood flooring.
What certifications are stated?
Havwoods says it offers FSC®-C009500 certified timber flooring and surfaces. The page does not name the certification body or the claim type, and individual product listings show no certification codes, so the certification status of a specific board needs checking with the company4. The home page also lists PEFC-certified flooring1.
The policies and certificates page lists a modern slavery statement, a corporate social responsibility policy, a FloorScore® certification for the V-Collection, and Environmental Product Declarations for the Italian Collection two-layer parquet and for Pureplank and V Collection three-layer flooring5.
