Rustic/Character Solid Oak Boards
Traditional Wide Oak Boards in a Modern Setting
English Timbers have created this beautiful floor by carefully selecting long wide boards with similar a character to old country floors.
It is made from northern white oak and graded to give a scattering of knots and character features and a warm, honey brown colour which darkens slowly with time.
The boards are supplied tongued, grooved and ends matched in a width of 170mm( Approx 6 3/4" ) and random lengths. The floors require sanding and finishing after installation and a number of finishes are available.
The floor illustrated above has been limed to lighten the timber, but a variety of finishes may be used to create different effects.
