For advice and information about installation and fixing methods - see our FAQ page. But we are always delighted to answer your questions in person in the showroom, or by phone or email.

Our oak is European oak grown in France, carefully selected, air dried then kilned down to approximately 10% moisture. It is very accurately milled with tongue and grooving on all 4 sides so that it fits together easily and requires minimal sanding after installation.

Our Homeoak grade floor is 85mm and 105mm wide, 19.3mm thick and comes in lengths up to 1.5m.

Tavern Character and Select standard solid oak boards are 21mm thick and come in widths of 110mm, 150mm or 190mm and in random lengths up to about 2.5m.

Our double kilned oak is 19mm thick and comes in similar widths to our standard oak although widths may need to vary slightly, depending on availability at the time of order. Random lengths up to about 2.5m. Double kilned is a special order so may take 3-6 weeks to get in stock.

We have a list of local fitters who are used to working with our products and wood and come with our recommendation. We can supply / hire portanailers and nails for secret nailing and epoxy damp proof floor sealers, glues and glue guns for adhesive fixing.

There is little that can go wrong when using properly prepared and cared for kiln dried solid oak but you should not lay a floor where there is more than 4% humidity in the subfloor or 65% humidity in the atmosphere.

All our customers are advised to read a copy of our terms and conditions prior to making their order.
