Our Character Oak Flooring boards are tongue and groove along the long edges. These solid Oak boards are machined from Character grade American White Oak. We buy a specific production ensuring consistency of product. It has a lower moisture content compared to many boards; kiln dried to 8-10 % to which gives a greater stability to the boards. This supply also generates a good range of lengths, at the time of writing we have 3.05 to 4.29 metre lenths available in stock. Boards can be secret fixed with Tongue-Tite stainless screws to a timber battened floor..
Because the oak is a character grade, it might display a variety of figuring which gives colour, with large and small knots and splits. Consequently we recommend allowing for 15% - 20% wastage. Osmo Polyx Hardwax Oil is available in clear finishes (matt, satin, satin-matt, natural and gloss) along with a range of Osmo Colour Tints
Boards are usually available in 115mm, 140mm, 165mm, 190mm and 215mm widths. The boards here are 165mm in width but length availability will vary, therefore if you intend to collect then you are best to contact us first.
These boards are suitable for high traffic areas in the home, are easy to clean and maintain and can be sanded and refinished. We recommend acclimatising the oak boards in the room that it is to be fitted for at least 14 days prior to laying. The machined boards have a central tongue so that the boards can be turned over as required. We do not recommend using these boards with underfloor heating systems. If using adhesive it must be totally flexible such as Osmo MS Advance or (Sika -52/-54). If nailing or screwing, the battens in the subfloor then these battens must be totally seasoned and dry. If the timbers are wet then the moisture will be absorbed by the oak boards.
