Prefinished Solid Oak Flooring The best way to ensure your wood flooring is finished to the highest standard; our prefinished hardwood flooring is available in many different colour stains and can alter the characteristics of your wood substantially. However, the original individual characteristics of the wood are still retained even with oils or stains that are very different to the original colour of the oak hardwood boards. Unfinished Solid Oak flooring If you would like to give your wood flooring a much more rustic feel or even finish the boards yourself, our unfinished oak flooring is a clear winner. Enjoy a diverse range of widths, from 57mm up to 250mm wide boards. The thickness of the oak boards range from 6mm strips to 22mm. Aged Antique and Smoked Oak flooring Aged antique oak flooring provides the room with an old fashioned classic look. We have this antique flooring in the following styles: King Arthur, Excalibur, Mordred, Rochester, Rochester Herringbone, and Handscraped oak. Ash flooring Hardwearing and light in colour, Ash is a great solid wood for flooring and will open up and brighten any space. The colour itself is wider in variation than oak flooring, ranging from pure white to grey. Bamboo flooring Bamboo flooring is well known for being especially strong and stable. Bamboo flooring provides an exotic look and feel to any room. There are four choices of bamboo - natural or carbonised and horizontal or vertical. The natural colour is very pale and light - giving a pale yellow finish. The carbonised variety is a much deeper colour and is similar to a caramel colour. Both natural and carbonised bamboo are very uniform in the colour and appearance with very little variation in the grain - ideal for a contemporary studio. The vertical solid wood boards are much narrower strips of bamboo compared with the horizontal bamboo boards. Beech flooring Beech has light brown, hard, and moderately heavy timber. This solid wood maintains a similar appearance to oak flooring, a light and clean looking wood. Solid Beech flooring is a firm favourite in sports arenas, school halls and commercial areas. Birch Flooring Birch is a medium heavy, medium hard, tough wood. It is very similar to Maple in the look and colour however it is not as hard as the solid Maple. Birch is very pale and ultimately lends itself as a yellow-looking solid wood flooring. Cherry Flooring Cherry is a moderately hard wood which undergoes an extreme degree of colour change with pronounced darkening from a pale pink colour when fresh milled to a dark reddish colour when fully aged. Hevea Flooring Hevea solid flooring is a medium density hardwood with a hardness and appearance similar to oak. Hevea comes from sustainable and manageable forests, making it an eco friendly wood. Hevea is light in colour and can be similar to Ash - however the contrasting colours in the hevea are not as dark. Kempas Flooring Kempas is a very hard wood with a course grain. Kempas wood offers a wide range of colour variability from a pale pink-tan colour to a medium dark-reddish colour and undergoes a medium degree of muting of the colour range over time and a slight darkening to a medium reddish colour. Solid kempas is from the same family as the Cherry and can look similar in colour when finished. Larch Flooring Larch wood is tough, durable and waterproof. Larch is from the softwood family of woods and is regularly used in garden furniture and other external applications. Maple Flooring Maple wood varies greatly in strength and colour. It is a pale white/yellow colour with streaks of deep golden yellow through to black. There is high demand for maple in flooring and furniture production due to its density. It is also a favourite flooring for sports halls, dance floors and school halls. Merbau Flooring Merbau wood is a popular choice for high class joinery work. Merbau comes in a fairly wide range of colour variability, from light browns to medium browns to dark browns. Due to extreme illegal forestation of the Merbau it is now only milled in small quantities and is generally no longer used in flooring. Pine Flooring Pine is a pale softwood - similar in colour to maple and birch. It is an industry standard product for basic floorboards, skirtings and architraves which are to be painted. Due to its quick growth it can be forested in large quantities without damaging the environment. Teak Flooring Teak is a medium-weight timber which is rather soft and has a very characteristic appearance. Teak flooring is becoming difficult to source due to the conservation restraints. Walnut flooring An extremely high scorer on the Janka hardness scale is walnut flooring, this beautiful wood has a rich warm colour and texture. Solid Walnut has a rich chocolate colour with pale and sometimes grey tones, depending on the grading. The price of walnut is always higher than oak and other woods due to its tree size. Walnut is a shrub rather than a tree so the availability of wide planks is less than solid oak or other hardwoods. Almost all our oak is European or French oak.
