Different treatments
Whether the floor requires a unique character, or a beautiful rustic country appearance with fine knots and heart cracks, the final result will always look pure and genuine.
Oak trees can become more than 200 years old and range from sleek and elegant to broad and powerful. As a common characteristic, they have a high degree of stability and durability. We aim to preserve their natural beauty and work with its pure and powerful expression.
Sanded
Sanded smooth texture
Sanding is one of the most common treatments for oak flooring, and for good reason. The process removes imperfections, rough spots, and uneven surfaces, creating a smooth, polished, and visually appealing finish. Sanding not only prepares the planks for further enhancements but also gives them a refined, timeless look.
Each plank is carefully sanded using a sequence of five different sandpapers, from soft to rough. This process transforms the wood texture and highlights its natural beauty, resulting in a floor that blends elegance with warmth, perfectly suited for modern interiors.
Key points
- Eliminates imperfections and uneven surfaces for a flawless finish
- Enhances the natural beauty of the wood for a timeless look
- Creates smooth, elegant floors that fit modern interiors
Brushed
Brushed surface texture
By using this a machine with a variety of nylon brushes, we create a unique character to each plank. The brushes sweep across the oak’s surface texture, removing the softer wood between the grain lines, bringing the harder grain lines into sharper focus. This enhances the overall appearance and texture of the wood.
We can adjust the machine in different ways, allowing us to brush the planks lightly or heavily. Light brushing gives the wooden floor a glowing effect with a subtle amount of surface texture. A heavily brushed floor gives the floor even more texture.
Key points
- Enhances the natural grain and texture of the oak
- Adjustable intensity for subtle or pronounced effects
- Creates a unique, characterful floor with depth and visual interest
Fumed
Fumed – Warmth & Depth
Fuming, also known as smoking, is a traditional method used to enrich and darken oak floors. During the process, the wood is placed in a sealed chamber where ammonia reacts with the natural tannic acid in the oak. This chemical reaction deepens the colour of the wood and creates a range of complementary tones. Because the amount of tannins varies from tree to tree and plank to plank, each board develops a unique shade and character.
The result is a floor full of depth, warmth, and movement, with a lively, varied appearance that no two planks are exactly the same. Fumed oak adds natural elegance and richness to any interior, making it a favourite choice for those seeking a distinctive and timeless look.
Key points
- Adds depth, warmth, and a lively, unique appearance
- Each plank is different due to natural tannin variation
- Traditional fuming process enhances character and design flexibility
Band-Sawn
Surface texture Band-Sawn
Band sawn wooden floors are a striking presence, thanks to their rough surface. The floor gets its name from the visible lines left on the wood surface during the sawing process. The shallow ridges and stripes on the wood give the floor a unique look that varies on each plank.
Band sawing is known for creating a unique and distinctive floor. It adds character and visual interest to the floor. The technique enables the creation of various designs, contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal. Band swan wooden floors are real eye-catchers and are perfect for those who want to bring a distinctive floor into their home.
Key points
- Naturally textured surface with unique ridges and stripes
- Each plank is distinctive, adding character and visual interest
- Bold, eye-catching flooring that enhances any interior
Aged
Aged – Authentic texture
Aged oak flooring is a brand-new floor that captures the charm and character of a well-worn, historic floor. Each plank is carefully treated to simulate the marks and textures that naturally develop over time, giving the impression of a floor that has lived and aged beautifully.
The distressing process recreates the look of traditional wear and tear, resulting in a floor with personality, warmth, and a story to tell. Aged oak adds a timeless, lived-in feel to any interior while maintaining the durability and stability of new engineered wood.
Key points
- Simulates the character and charm of a naturally aged floor
- Distressing creates authentic wear patterns and texture
- Adds warmth, personality, and a timeless feel to interiors
