The Grade
The grade should not be confused with quality.
It just defines its unique and natural features. This includes the amount of knots, variation in grains and the colour of the timber.
The price depends on the grade, with higher prices for Prime grade, this is simply due to its limited supply and of course a tree is known for its knots.
We offer three different grades of wood.
Rustic - Healthy Unlimited Knots
Nature - Not so many Knots
Prime - No Knots

The Bevel
Our European Engineered Oak comes with a standard 2 way micro bevel,
however we can change the bevel for an extra charge.
Square Edge (no bevel) is available to order from our Mill.
Lead time approx 4-6 weeks
2 Way Micro Bevel
We offer our Elite Collection with a 2 Way Micro Bevel, which means the bevel is on the lengths of the plank, but not on the header joints.
4 Way Micro Bevel
Adding a micro bevel at the header joints gives the plank a micro bevel on all four sides.
4 Way Distressed Bevel
In contrast to a standard bevel, a distressed bevel creates a more rustic and aged aesthetic. The worn edges of the plank give the impression of a well-loved floor with character and charm.
4 Way Soft Bevel
Each plank has a soft bevel carved on all four sides, giving it that extra definition. Creating a subtle shadow effect that adds depth and dimension to the overall appearance of the flooring.

4 Way Burnt Bevel
We leave the bevel as a 2 way micro bevel, but burn the edges which adds depth and richness to the plank's appearance. This technique accentuates the natural grain patterns and highlights the unique character of each individual piece.
4 Way Distressed & Stained
The distressed & stained bevel gives the floor a weathered and aged appearance.
The Texture
We can provide a variety of options for finishing your project, including fuming, brushing, tumbling, hand carving, bandsawing and burning.
Smoked
Fuming is a traditional process for darkening and enriching the colour of oak. Ammonia fumes react with the natural tannins in the wood and cause it to change colours.
The resulting product is known as "fumed oak".
Brushed
The surface of the wood flooring planks are roller brushed to remove some of the softer growth rings from the grain. Depending on the level of brushing, this gives a textured surface that gently highlights the natural grain structure.

Tumbled
We can tumble your flooring to create a distressed looking floor.
Hand Carved
Each plank and knot are handcrafted on all four sides.
Burnt
A unique grain is highlighted by burning the planks' faces and bevels.
Bandsawn
Our band sawn process provides a striking textured look and feel, finished with your choice of colors.
