Edinburgh's tenements put flats over flats behind stone facades, and in the New Town a great many of them stand inside a conservation area or a listed terrace. That combination is unusual: the floor is governed from below by the flat underneath and from outside by the building's protection.
Edinburgh’s architectural heritage is unrivalled, from Georgian townhouses in the New Town to traditional tenement flats across Marchmont and Bruntsfield. Many properties are listed or in conservation areas, where flooring must complement original features like stone fireplaces, cornicing and sash windows. The city’s newer developments in areas like Granton and Edinburgh Park offer modern open-plan layouts.
Engineered oak in warm, traditional tones dominates Edinburgh’s period properties, often in wider planks (150–190mm) that suit the generous proportions of Georgian and Victorian rooms. Herringbone parquet is a natural fit for Edinburgh’s grand hallways and reception rooms. Solid oak remains popular with purists who want a completely authentic finish.

Just under half of Edinburgh's homes were built before 1945 and 66% of the stock is flats — a higher share than any other major UK city apart from Glasgow. Both facts push in the same direction. Tenement flats sit on timber joists shared with the neighbour below, so impact sound insulation is the first specification, not the last, and many titles and factor agreements say so explicitly. The floor beneath is usually original boarding that is neither flat nor consistent, so levelling comes before choosing. In the Old Town, Leith and Inverleith conservation areas, and in any listed tenement, removing that boarding needs consent. Western Villages and Silverlea at Granton are the exception: new screed, underfloor heating, engineered wood.
