The chevron pattern can be used to make a room look larger, or direct the eyes towards a feature piece of furniture for example. Being vintage, it also adds an air of sophistication to your home, and is something unique to other wood floors. It would work well with vintage furniture or in Victorian houses. This particular shade would also look wonderful in well lit rooms due to its lights shade, that has the additional benefit of again making a room look larger.

The floor has an unfinished appearance, meaning it is in its natural state, and brings a more vintage authentic look to your home. As being unfinished makes it less protected, we recommend this floor in rooms that are not so busy or where spillages do not occur. However, it is possible to finish this floor yourself however you desire meaning you can enjoy some DIY and add a personal touch to your home. You can see the accessories section of our website for a quality range of products to finish your floor.

The ABCD grade is also known as mixed grade, meaning it is rustic, with knots, heavy grain, some colour variation and mineral staining. Surface cracks may also be visible. All of these properties make it as authentic looking as possible, not dissimilar to the original parquet designs that were first used centuries ago. As aforementioned, the floor is unfinished, meaning its risk of scratches for example will only enhance the rustic look rather than hamper it.

As the planks are engineered, they use solid wood as surface layer, but the materials underneath this have greater stability and can handle humidity changes better. This makes them suitable for underfloor heating, and more resistant to warping or shrinkage in such conditions. They are also therefore suitable in rooms where spillages occur, or there is lots of heat and natural light.

This floor can be installed using a ‘floating floor’ method, involving gluing the tongue and groove parts of the board, usually cushioned with use of an underlay. Alternatively, a ‘secret nail’ in the tongue of each plank can be used to attach the planks to a wooden subfloor. Finally, a flooring adhesive can be used to stick it directly on to the subfloor.
