Finest Engineered Old Floorboards & Reclaimed Pine Wide Planks

Nowadays 50-60% of new builds have concrete sub-floors. However, solid boards can't be nailed to a concrete base! We supply floors that are fully engineered which allows the laying of wide and long boards either as a floating floor or by gluing directly to the screed/concrete. Very few companies engineer boards from reclaimed timbers, but we can supply any of our floors engineered in this way.

These engineered boards can be laid over under-floor heating systems or floated over any concrete sub-floors. We utilise a secondary kiln-drying process to ensures boards are fit for use with any underfloor-heating system.

Our signature product is our wide, reclaimed oak boards. These beautiful long boards (average of 3m) are up to 280 mm wide. They make a striking, evidently reclaimed, finished floor. These boards come in random widths, but are also available with a variety of surface textures - see our section on hand-sanded textures or you can take them "In the White" to be sanded and finished on site. Please just ask us.

Engineering Specification and Process:

• All boards fully de-nailed, while protecting the original face and selected for quality
• Kiln-dried on site to set moisture content:
  • For normal, centrally heated conditions, 9-11% for hardwood, 10-12% for softwood
  • For timber that will be laid over under-floor heating, we perform a secondary kilning to bring the moisture content to 6-8% for hardwood and 8-10% for softwood
• All boards regularised exactly to one chosen width (the widest possible based on selection)
• All boards are precision cross-cut on both ends.
• Sanded to required texture - see our hand-made textures
• Precision-planed on back face to provide a 6-10mm solid wear surface
• Engineered onto top-quality birch plywood: BB/BB or BB/CP grade, 11 strand x 15mm
• Vacuum pressed with minimum of 30 mins cooling time
• Every board hand-checked to ensure no de-lamination
• Surface filled and repaired as required. Long top edges hand-rolled to 1.5mm radius
• Grooved on long edges only; loose tongues supplied in 1-2m lengths
• Available unfinished, French-Polished, semi- or fully-finished to specification
