Reproduction Aged Oak Flooring

For many years, we have restored original antique flooring on our hands and knees, so we know exactly how an old warn floorboards should look. Thanks to the passion of our craftsmen and extensive experimentation and studying, we at Oldenoak feel we can achieve an authentic look for any period of property.

Using the hand tools that have been staples for centuries, we work each board by hand. Draw knifes and adzes are regularly used during our distressing sequences. Different methods of colouring and aging are used to create our authentic look.

Solid Super Wide Flooring

This is created using only the finest European oak logs, so we consider this product to be among the rarest and finest handcrafted oak flooring available on today’s market.

Thanks to these magnificent boards, we can give you a beautiful, unique floor that will last well into the next century.

Using 30mm thick solid kiln-dried oak boards, we work with the customer to create the effect that best suits their home.

Boards are supplied in random width ranges. We use up to four different sizes on one job, with the client choosing exactly the sizes they want. We can produce boards ranging in size between 100mm and 500mm.

Lengths work with the width. No point having a 500mm board only a metre long! So we target only the longest of logs. Normally ranging between 4 and 6 metres long. Although we have created board up to 7.2 metres in lengths, only for the longest of runs!

With these sort of lengths, few joins are needed, and in some cases you can’t even see a join anywhere. Where joins are needed, each end is individually handcrafted to appear as yet another feature of your floor.

A large selection of finishes is available. In fact, there are too many to mention here. Each floor is unique to the client’s preference, so lets discuss.

A brief description
Stains, dyes and fuming are among the methods we use to colour our floors. We can create many different shades to give the appearance of wood from varied periods. Clear untouched oak, for example, gives a strikingly modern feel. If it’s heavily stained and distressed, this creates a Jacobean look.

To create the look of centuries old flooring, the boards are worked from sawn rather than planed to keep an uneven foot warn finish to the floor. We can also reproduce a pit sawn effect within the floor.

These boards are normally rebated to create a lapping joint, however square edge and tongue and groove details are available on request.

Hand Made Oak Flooring

Even the best machines can’t replicate true craftmanship and historical expertise. To reveal the full beauty of every oak floorboard, we believe you can only achieve this working by hand. And this is an art that you learn over years in the workshop.

At Oldenoak, our handmade floors are created to order, so that each one is unique. We genuinely believe we make some of the finest oak products currently available, fashioned using exclusively premium-quality European oak boards.

Our handmade oak floors are versatile, crafted to last and require little in the way of maintenance to keep them looking their glorious best.
