What makes ​period oak ​different...

Period Oak Boards – The ultimate indulgence,

wide, long, beautiful floorboards.

We can produce any width from 4.5” to 9” boards. Period ​Oak is hand picked Quercus Robur (commonly referred to ​as English Oak) regarded as one of the strongest species of ​oak in the world.

It is then kiln dried or air dried dependent on your ​requirements, then machined to 20mm thick tongue and ​grooved solid boards or engineerd (backed with Birch Ply) ​so that they can be used over underfloor heating or ​concrete subfloors.

These are then French Polished copying genuine time worn ​old boards for colour and tone so that the appearance on ​the surface is both undulating and worn to replicate the ​original. Finally we apply either wax or Acrylic laquer (yacht ​varnish) for use in kitchens or bathrooms, in any sheen from ​flat matt to high gloss. These floors require minimal ​maintenance even in high traffic areas, infact they are ​designed to gain Patina with wear unlike any other "new ​floor" and as you can see from the pictures..........absolutely ​stunning!

Our lacquered surface is formulated to provide a finish with ​excellant resistance to abrasion, wet and dry heat, spirit ​solutions and a wide range of household chemicals, a ​commercial grade lacquer which unlike most other floor ​finished meets the requirements of two British Standards

BS6250 for horizontal surfaces rated as heavy/severe use ​and​ also BS7044:Part 4

Recycled/reclaimed ​period oak

the uk’s only ​recyled wood ​flooring

Reclaimed oak flooring over the years has become ​more and more difficult to source and also tends to ​vary in both colour and size which makes finding ​enough to complete decent sized projects ​challenging.

We have come up with a solution to this by both ​cutting thicker reclaimed boards into thinner lamellas ​approx. 7mm and bonding onto birch ply 14mm so ​21mm total thickness and making sometimes up to 3 ​planks from 1, also then refinishing existing planks to ​match or taking up existing floors and mixing them ​into our existing stock and refinishing them to have ​consistent colour/tone/patina.

This method is a great way of producing floors which ​reduce the amount of new oak being felled and also ​minimal carbon footprint once made they can also be ​finished with our unique water resistant surface ​great for bathrooms and kitchens and also ​underfloor heating.
