Distressed Oak Flooring
With the same high durability and displayiong the same range of knots and cracks as our standard character grade oak flooring, the distressed boards appear "singed", as though recovered from a derelict, burnt building .
Not necessarily to everyone's taste, but in the correct environment, these boards can look very striking.
We've seen them combined with standard character grade boards to create distinct areas which does work very well.
As with all our solid oak flooring, distressed boards are unfinished and respond beautifully to treatment with Osmo Polyx-Oil.
Where you need maximum character, for example in a Tudor cottage, rural camping barn or Irish theme pub, barn grade flooring is ideal. In fact, the more traffic and wear it gets, the better it looks.
Barn grade oak floors often appear darker than character grade and select grade oak floors, simply because they have more knots and burrs. It's worth bearing in mind that when waxed with Osmo Polyx Oil, the oak will become even warmer in tone and may not need staining to achieve an aged look. We always recommend that you try stains and waxes on an off-cut first.
In terms of durability, there is no difference between any of the unfinished, solid oak flooring grades we supply. Your decision on which grade to use should be made purely on which grade best suits your setting.
