Original Pine Floorboards

We hold large stocks of Original Period, slow-grown pine floorboards, from the Classic Victorian London Board and Georgian Planking that was hand adzed 200-300 years ago, to more common Victorian and Edwardian floorboards - going right up - to tongue and groove boards from the 1920's to 1960's. These timbers are in Baltic Yellow Pine, British Columbian Pine, Douglas Fir, Oregon Pine, Pitch Pine, Old Fashioned Deal and very old Scot's pine.

We offer our boards for purchase in a variety of conditions to suit the requirements of each customer. This can range from an "As Is" purchase, where boards have simply been de-nailed, selected for quality and tallied for collection or delivery, right up to fully finished boards with one of our unique, hand-created surface textures. All timbers can be kiln-dried and/or engineered so that they can be laid on top of floated on or glued directly over an under-floor heated, screeded sub-floor. Full details of what each processing and purchase option entails can be found below. We recommend that everything that leaves AWF Ltd be Kiln-Dried, for which we give a written guarantee, especially for boards going over under-floor heating.

We provide a free sample service. Send us an image of what you want to replicate. We will see what is possible from our stockholding, prepare and apply treatments or washes as required to the timber and post them within 2 days, free of charge.

Slow-Grown Douglas Fir Boards

Today's go-to softwood for flooring made popular by the renowned Norwegian flooring company, Dinesen. We hold large stocks, in long and wide virgin growth timber.

This timber exploded into Britain when Canada opened up commercially. Our own current stocks came from 2 houses on the Crown Estate in Regents Park. They were re-timbered in the 1890s, when gutted by a fire. Our stocks come from the joists used in that re-build. We believe they are all Virgin growth timber from the west coast of Canada, forested and exported to England. They are all long and wide boards - and very heavy! Please ask for a free sample.

These boards are available with either an Antique Original face or clean planed face (see our finishes), and as a solid or an engineered board. See purchase options below.
