Fumed and Brushed Provincial Solid Oak Flooring
Quick Overview
Our Fumed and Brushed Provincial Oak Flooring is machined from sustainably-sourced solid European oak timber. After machining, the boards are wire brushed, which raises the grain, producing a tactile, textured surface. After brushing, the boards are then fumed, a chemical process which darkens the wood, creating a pleasing mix of dark oak shades*. This rustic oak floor contains abundance of splits, checks and large knots up to 75mm in diameter, which are filled and sanded smooth as standard. If you wish to have the knots left open, please contact our Sales Office who will be happy to discuss this with you.
Our wide board floors are supplied in single width wide boards (i.e. each board will be the same width). The width supplied can vary, depending on timber availability at the time of machining, but is typically between 175mm and 200mm. The length of the boards are usually between 1.2m and 2.5m, but some may be supplied longer or shorter than that, depending on raw timber stocks at the time of machining.
Our Fumed and Brushed Provincial European Oak is a stunning textured, fumed oak floor. The boards have a rich dark tone and contain a fair amount of natural figuring and an abundance of splits, checks and large knots up to 75mm in diameter, which are filled and sanded smooth as standard. If you wish to have the knots left open, please contact our Sales Office who will be happy to discuss this with you. Due to its rich rustic appearance it is a popular choice for country cottages, barn conversions and commercial applications such as pubs, restaurants, churches and museums.
* IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FUMING: Fuming is a chemical process which darkens the oak in a natural way - and is provided as an alternative to staining. Different boards and different batches of timber will react differently to the fuming process, and as such the wood will not have a uniform colour. Photographs on the website and samples are provided for guidance only - we can not guarantee an exact colour match. If you wish to obtain a uniform dark tone we recommend the use of a stain rather than fuming.
All the raw timber we use is sourced from either PEFC or FSC certfied suppliers. The timber is kiln-dried to a moisture content of 8-10% and kept at an ambient temperature in our heated and humidity controlled factory. All our wood floors are manufactured to order, from the same batch of timber. We pre-plane the boards before final machining which results in accurately machined floorboards which are extremely straight, flat and a pleasure to fit. Mass produced imported floors are not made, or quality controlled, to the same high standards as a British Hardwoods wood floor.
