When planning the installation of your Esco floor, you might be surprised to find shorter planks mixed in with standard full-length ones. But there’s a good reason for that: these seemingly small pieces are much more than just filler – they’re a key part of creating a stable, attractive, and environmentally-friendly floor. Explore the benefits of these ‘nested packages’ below.

Improved stability and structural integrity

From a structural standpoint, shorter planks offer distinct advantages. Floorboards are often installed in a staggered pattern, reducing the risk of warping or buckling over time. This results in a more durable and resilient floor.

By integrating shorter planks, you no longer need to cut full-length pieces down to size, saving both time and materials on-site. This not only facilitates the installation process but also reduces waste, making it an eco-friendly choice for your flooring project.

Your solution for tight spaces

Shorter planks are especially useful when installing a floor around tight or irregular spaces, such as corners, edges, or cabinets. Instead of trimming a full-length plank, shorter planks can be easily integrated into these areas, allowing for a precise and professional finish without unnecessary cuts.

This makes them particularly valuable in rooms with unique layouts or smaller dimensions.

Aesthetically appealing through a natural look

Visually, shorter planks play an essential role in breaking up the uniformity of longer planks. Add character to your room by varying the different lengths in a more organic pattern.

The staggered joints achieved through the use of shorter planks result in a floor that feels less rigid and a lot more natural, contributing to a wonderfully varied and aesthetically pleasing design.

Sustainable and cost-effective in one

Besides having less waste on-site, using nested packages is also more sustainable during manufacturing. The amount of wood from each tree is fully optimised, which means less wood is wasted.

Besides reducing your waste during installation, the use of nested packages is also more sustainable during manufacturing. The wood yield from each tree is fully optimised, making it a more cost-effective operation. As a result; these mixed-length packs become a budget-friendlier solution for the buyer. For those who prefer uniformity, Esco does offer packs that exclusively hold longer planks, but at a higher cost.
