Tradition Solid Wood Flooring

Every board in this range is solid oak, 18mm thick, in widths of 90mm, 125mm and 150mm, all in Rustic grade with visible knots and natural colour variation across the plank rather than a uniform, clean-grain look.

Colour and finish

• Golden and coffee oak — named colourways with a handscraped texture, finished matt lacquered or UV oiled
• Standard oak — lacquered, brushed and oiled, or UV lacquered, without a named colour treatment

Handscraped boards have a hand-tooled, slightly uneven surface, which tends to hide everyday scuffs and wear better than a flat, smooth board, and pairs naturally with the more rustic, characterful look of this range overall.

Width and fitting

At 90mm to 150mm wide, these boards sit at the narrower end compared with wider solid oak options elsewhere on the site, which is worth knowing if you're after a bolder, wide-plank look rather than a more traditional narrow strip. Being solid oak rather than engineered, this range is nailed or glued directly to the subfloor rather than floated, and it's not suited to underfloor heating, since solid wood moves more with temperature changes than an engineered floor would.

FAQ

How does the width compare to other solid oak ranges on the site?
At 90mm to 150mm, these boards run narrower than some of the wider solid oak options elsewhere, suited to a more traditional strip-flooring look.
