English Oak Flooring
Sorry, we do not currently manufacture English or European Oak flooring. Please see our American White Oak page. Our northern timber is similar in appearance to European, but harder and more durable
English Oak - ( Quercus robur or Quercus petraea ) has
been used for centuries for building the strongest ships and
adorning the finest houses.
Our Oak is from Cumbria where the
variable climate and geology give
our English Oak flooring it's unique colour and character.
Wild grain, small pin knots and burrs are an attractive and acceptable
part the appearance of the timber
in all the grades. The timber mellows and darkens with
time. The English Oak floors are graded into Classic, Character and
Rustic.
Customers should also consider
the Appalachian White
Oak which is heavier and harder than English Oak and is
selected for its similar colour and grain. We
also carry much larger stocks of this timber because the the
timber is readily available.
