Engineered Wood Flooring – With Bespoke Colour Matching Service
Elka Engineered Wood Flooring can be fully bonded, floated or secret nailed to battens/joists, flooring grade ply and chipboard. Elka has a bevel edge and is available as unfinished, lacquered, brushed and oiled and is stocked in Oak.
This product, whilst generally compatible with most underfloor heating systems, is not guaranteed when installed over one. This is because of the diverse range of heating systems available and therefore differing guidelines would need to be issued to cover all models of installation. However, if used over such a system, manufacturers’ guidelines should be strictly adhered to.
Elka is both diverse in appearance and installation.
At Illingworth Ingham (M/cr ) Ltd we offer a choice of in-house wax oil finish or stained lacquered finish which means you can get our engineered oak flooring stained to your exact specification and choose from a wide range of colour options. This service extends to our skirtings and architraves so you can make sure they perfectly match your floor.
Elka Engineered Wood Flooring is 20mm thick with a 6mm Oak veneer and is specifically designed to give a solid floor appearance upon installation.

The Perfect Finish
If you have selected one of our unfinished flooring ranges (Code 601/608) then you can have a further choice in terms of the colours and finishes that are available to you.
At Illingworth Ingham (M/cr) Ltd we have selected what we believe are some of the finest available products on the market.
Oil Finish
Our coloured oils are more durable than a standard floor oil. They work into the grain well to emphasise the natural beauty of the wood. They produce a natural, matt finish. Available in a range of 12 natural colours they can be professionally applied for you in our Trafford Park production plant, ready for delivery to you.
Stained And Lacquered Finish
If you are looking for a more glossy or satin effect finish then you can choose a colour from the Holzol floor oil range and then have it professionally stained and lacquered at our Trafford Park production plant.
You can of course choose just to have a stain applied without the lacquer if you prefer.

TUPLEX® Complete Moisture Management System
Tuplex® underlay meets every critical demand for laminate and engineered wood floors – plus it doesn’t trap moisture between the vapour barrier and the sub-floor.
Exclusive Airflow Technology – allows air to constantly circulate, carrying moisture to the floor’s perimeter where it harmlessly evaporates. Chemical treatments temporarily inhibit mould growth but do not eliminate moisture’s long term threat. Airflow technology is the safe, natural way to protect floors and the living environment.
Dual Moisture Barrier – the outer films are extruded with a special blend of PE resins and additives to deliver exceptional moisture protection and long life performance.
Extremely High Resistance To Compression – over a seven-day test period, Tuplex® lost only 4% of its thickness under load corresponding to approx 600k/M². Commonly used foams lost 56% of their thickness in the same test.
Unique Self-levelling And Crushproof Consistency – thousands of built-in PolyShims eliminate slight variations and provide even, firm, long-lasting support. Variations in a subfloor surface can cause movement where the planks of floating flooring are joined together. Movement weakens the joints which may lead to squeaking floors and possible separation of the planks.
Sound Features – Tuplex® underlay meets the latest requirements for impact sound isolation (20dB). It also provides a deep rich solid sound in the room.
Ideal With Floor Heating – Tuplex® has a low thermal resistance which makes it ideal to use with a floor heating system
