Oak Floors Online talk about rustic oak flooring and Prime Grade oak flooring and how they 'fit' with various designs

Different design styles of the home are created by mixing different textures, colours and appearances of the items within, much of which come down to the personal preference of the owner.

Some people prefer to live in homes that ooze with character and 'rustic charm', whereas others opt for a more contemporary or modern look; it all really depends on the individual who's making the design decisions.

The range of flooring available from Oak Floors Online is capable of meeting most personal choices when it comes to flooring, ranging from narrower Solid Oak that's available as 120mm or 150mm wide and in mixed lengths of 300mm up to 1800mm (mostly shorter lengths because of the grading process it undertakes) to Engineered Oak that's wider and longer because of the extra stability it provides.

The Engineered Oak is supplied in 15mm or 21mm thickness, and in widths of 189mm and 240mm, with 85% of lengths being the full 1830mm (the remainder is made up of shorter lengths to simplify the staggering of joints within the finished floor).

For the more Rustic or Character appearance, here are a few choices that may be of interest;

18 x 120 Double Brushed & Dark Oiled
18 x 120 Hand Scraped Antique
Engineered Oak Finishes;
15 x 189 Double Brushed & Dark Oiled
15 x 189 Hand Scraped Antique, Oiled or Lacquered
15 x 189 Hand Scraped Vintage
15 x 189 Celtic Character Rustic
21 x 189 Double Brushed & Dark Oiled
21 x 189 Celtic Character Rustic

Engineered Celtic Character Rustic

The Celtic Character shown above is a CD and below mixed grade, where all the natural features are actually enhanced and 'shown off' by being filled with dark filler and then sanded, before being finished.
This creates a stunning character grade finish that can 'fit' with both classic and contemporary designs.

You can also add to these character bursting finishes, the Brushed & Natural Oiled finish that's appearance can be changed very easily by applying another coat of waxoil in the colour of your choice, so the range is varied and flexible.

For an oak floor that fits into a more modern design appearance, maybe a completely clear grained finish is preferable, like the 21 x 189 Brushed & Natural Oiled Prime Grade A, which has very few natural features (also available as Unfinished that can be finished on site).

The vast majority of the flooring held in stock is a mix of ABCD grades, because at Oak Floors Online we believe this offers a true 'oak-like' appearance after installation, with some character features, colour and grain variances but without being too rustic.

This mix of grade can also be 'self-graded' on site if a clearer floor appearance is required by simply cutting out any unwanted features from any single board, and then using the two ends as starter and end boards for a run. this will minimise wastage whilst helping to achieve a 'clearer' floor appearance.

We are continuously trying to improve our range of products, both with regards size and finish but we don't want to create a 'market place' that is simply too busy and confusing for our customers.
Watch out for a range of long and wide engineered oak that will be arriving early next year, widths up to 400mm and lengths up to 5 metres!
