Natural Oiled Oak Flooring Character Grade
Our Natural Character Grade Oak Flooring is a beautiful, fully finished solid oak floor with a natural, organic appearance. The boards have been factory finished with Osmo Raw Effect Polyx Oil, producing a hardwearing finish with an untreated bare wood effect. Machined from sustainably sourced character grade oak, the boards contain some splits, checks and plentiful open knots of varying size. The knots can be filled and sanded to a smooth finish if preferred.
Our Natural Oak Character Grade Flooring is available in a choice of narrow board or wide board floor, for full information see below.
All our wood floors are manufactured to order, from the same batch of timber. Because we machine from natural raw materials, the dimensions of the boards can vary from batch to batch.
Narrow Board Oak Floors
Supplied as a single width narrow board (i.e. each board you receive will be exactly the same width). The width supplied is dependent on timber availability at the time of manufacture, but is typically between 140mm and 150mm. If you are matching up to a floor we've previously supplied, please contact us to discuss availability.
Wide Board Oak Floors
Supplied as a single width wide board (i.e. each board you receive will be exactly the same width). The width supplied is dependent on timber availability at the time of manufacture, but is typically between 175mm and 200mm. If you are matching up to a floor we've previously supplied, please contact us to discuss availability.
Board Lengths
Our oak floorboards are supplied in random lengths and are usually between 1.5m and 2.5m, but some may be supplied longer or shorter than that, depending on raw timber stocks at the time of machining.
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. 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.
