18 x 120 Brushed & Natural Oiled - In Stock

"Your flooring goes together so well it was a piece of cake to fit. Your advice on the glue was right too and after a short while that was also easy to apply. It's nice to know there are companies out there that do still care about their customers by supplying real value for money and a great service to boot."

NB: This is a brushed & oiled surface, so oak being oak, there will be a variance in the depth of texture, depending on the grain of each board. Some boards may be quite smooth with not much texture but others may be quite 'rough' where more of the softer fibres of the face have been brushed out, sometimes causing a slightly 'spiky' feel. This is not a fault with the board and can either be fixed by lightly sanding the area concerned and re-coating with waxoil, or simply avoided through selection of the boards during installation.
We will not accept returns for this reason because it must be accepted and understood on order that oak is a natural product and we have no control over how the tree grows.
It's also worth noting that we advise applying another 1-2 coats of waxoil immediately after installation in areas where there is risk of spillages or moisture 'splashes' or 'drips'. Although there is no such thing as a 'waterproof' oak floor, this will help protect your new floor and 'seal' the joints between the boards, whilst improving resistance to wear and tear.

IMPORTANT:
If for some reason you’re just interested in prices and not the overall quality, please note that our Solid Oak boards are machined to very low tolerances, thus reducing selection and fitting time, and remedial work required after installation. This all adds up to a saving in cost and time for you. Before you order on price alone somewhere else, always check the machining tolerances for the product you want because the extra work required after installation can make that product very expensive. We’ve seen 130mm wide boards varying by 4mm in width over a 1200mm length!

IMPORTANT:
Within the packs supplied, there will be very few lengths over 1200mm because our selection and quality process eliminates the longer boards when grading. The average length is 750mm. Because of the way that Oak grows, and the quality grading process that we insist upon, lengths above 1200mm are seldom available.

NB:
Solid oak is a natural product and is susceptible to dimensional changes when subjected to varying levels of heat, humidity, and moisture.
Wider boards over 150mm and less than 18mm thick are more susceptible to ‘cupping’ and it’s advisable to face fix these size boards to avoid this costly problem.
As you can see, we don’t supply any solid board over 150mm because of these reasons. Please note that the fitting responsibility is always with the owner/fitter and not us as a company.
