Wide Plank Flooring has become increasingly popular in modern homes, villas, hotels, and commercial projects. The longer and wider boards create fewer visible joints and showcase the natural beauty of European oak.
However, many buyers find that traditional super-size flooring costs USD 70–80/sqm or higher, which can be challenging for larger projects. Cheng Space Flooring has developed an affordable solution: 14/2 × 280 × 3000mm long European oak wide planks.
Why Wide Plank Flooring Can Be Expensive
- Long and wide planks require larger oak logs.
- Higher-grade veneers reduce material yield.
- Production and quality control costs are higher.
- Transportation and handling costs increase with plank size.
These factors make traditional large-format planks more costly.
