13 patterns, from plank to panel

More than one pattern can be produced within one order under the same approved color reference. Block and panel patterns are set from your drawing; the diagrams below are schematic and not to scale.

Plank

Boards laid parallel. The widths and the two standard builds below come from our order records.

Pick one item code, send it with your inquiry

Every cell is one complete item: width, length and thickness with wear layer, in millimeters on top and inches below. Click a cell to get its code, then add grade, texture, finish and a color code when you write to us.

Codes follow our item system: product line, thickness and wear layer, width, length. WO2P is White Oak 2-layer plank, WO2H herringbone, WO2C chevron, WO2Q parquet. Random length is written RL with its range; F marks one fixed length. Color is a separate code from the color collection, and grade, texture and finish are stated with the inquiry.

Five brushing levels, worked into the wood before finishing

Texture is created in the oak before color and coating, so the same approved color can be applied across different textures. Each level is matched to the approved sample.

SmoothSmooth-sanded surface with a clean, closed-grain appearance.

Light Wire BrushedA light brushing that is felt more than seen.

Medium Wire BrushedA balanced brushing level with visible texture but a restrained overall look.

Wire BrushedDeeper brushing that opens the grain and gives the surface stronger texture.

Wire Brushed with Cross MarksBrushed, then cross-worked for a more irregular, hand-worked surface.

Also to order

Hand-scraped, distressed and saw-marked surfaces are worked by hand or machine before finishing and are confirmed at quotation against a sample.

Surface textures are produced to order, not from stock. A physical sample is approved before the production run. Macro photography makes the grain look larger than it does on an installed floor.

The choices that set how the boards meet and how the face reads

Edge profile changes how each board line reads in the floor. Grain and grade change how much figure and character the face shows.

Edge profile

Square edge vs micro-bevel: when each profile suits a project.

Grain

• 01
  Rift and quarterStraight, even lines with little figure. Keeps block and panel patterns crisp.
• 02
  Plain sawnCathedral figure and more movement in the face. The usual choice for plank.
• 03
  MixedBoth cuts in one floor, sorted at grading. The most efficient use of the log.

Grade

PremiumClean, quiet appearance with very few knots and limited color variation.Lowest yield, highest material cost

SelectSmall sound knots with gentle color variation.Lower yield and a higher cost than standard grades

NaturalVisible knots and natural color movement for a more expressive oak floor.Standard yield, standard cost

RusticLarger sound knots, stronger color variation and filled natural features.Highest yield, lowest cost

Joint on every format: tongue and groove on four sides, for glue-down or nail-down installation.

Four finish systems, three sheen levels, 211 colors

Color and coating are applied on our own UV line after machining, with each coat cured in line, so the approved reference is carried through the full production lot.

UnfinishedSanded and supplied ready for site-applied finishing.For projects where the installer will apply the final finish on site.

Clear UVNatural oak protected with a clear UV topcoat and no added stain.For the lightest, most natural expression of the oak.

Color UVColor stain beneath a protective UV topcoat.Our standard route for a colored UV-finished floor.

Color and Effect UVColor stain combined with an additional effect such as smoke, wash or a two-tone reaction.For finishes that need more depth and tonal variation than a flat stain.

Sheen

211 colors in 7 collections, or a match developed from your physical sample. Browse the color collection. Oiled finishes: ask at quotation.

Photography shows physical samples. Screen rendering varies by device, so please request a physical sample before confirming a color.

Stair parts and trims to match the floor

Treads, risers, nosings and floor trims are made in the same oak, color, texture and sheen as the floor and quoted alongside it. Stair geometry comes from your drawing and local code; sizes below are typical references, confirmed at quotation.

PHOTOGRAPHED

Stair treadThe horizontal step surface, solid or engineered, with a bullnose or square nosing. Open-sided stairs take a returned end on the left or right.Typical 1" x 11-1/2" x 36" to 48" (25 x 292 x 914 to 1219mm)

RiserThe vertical face between two treads, in the same oak and finish as the tread.Typical 3/4" x 7-1/2" x 48" (20 x 190 x 1219mm)

PHOTOGRAPHED

Stair nosingThe edge piece where the floor meets the top step. Flush nosing sits level with the floor and takes its tongue; overlap nosing covers an existing step for renovation.Typical 3/4" x 3-1/4" x 78" (20 x 83 x 2000mm)

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

Landing treadA wider nosing for a landing or balcony edge, grooved at the back to meet the floor board.Typical 3/4" x 5-1/2" x 78" (20 x 140 x 2000mm)

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

Stringer and skirt boardThe board that runs along the wall side of the stair, following the pitch, and covers the ends of the steps.Typical 3/4" x 9-1/4" x 96" (20 x 235 x 2440mm)

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

ReducerA transition from the wood floor down to a lower floor such as tile or vinyl.Typical 3/4" x 2" x 78" (20 x 50 x 2000mm)

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

Quarter round and shoe moldingCovers the expansion gap at the wall, fixed to the skirting rather than the floor.Typical 3/4" x 3/4" x 94" (19 x 19 x 2400mm)

SECTION, NOT TO SCALE

Skirting and baseboardThe board at the foot of the wall, in oak to match the floor or primed for paint.Typical 5/8" x 3-1/2" or 5-1/2" x 94" (15 x 89 or 140 x 2400mm)

PHOTOGRAPHED

Vent grilleA flush floor register in the same oak, grade and finish as the floor, with a frame and slats.Typical 4" x 10" and 4" x 12" (100 x 250 and 100 x 300mm)

A tread shows edge grain and end grain at the nosing, which take stain differently from the face of a board. Stair parts are therefore sampled separately in the same finish and approved next to the floor sample. The quotation states which items are made in our factory and which are coordinated through partner workshops.

Matching stair treads to the floor: what to send for a stair quotation.
