When you invest in solid wood flooring you can expect to create an elegant and luxurious new look for any room in your home. Wooden floors come in a huge variety of styles so you can be sure of finding something to perfectly complement your interior design. Here's a quick guide to some of the finishes that are available

Lacquered

Lacquer coatings give an even sheen and bring out the best colour in your wood. The on-going maintenance of lacquer flooring is minimal, so sweeping and the occasional wipe is enough to keep them looking their best day by day.

Hand Scraped

Despite the name, this effect is most commonly applied using a special piece of machinery that scrapes gently curving waves in the surface of the wood. This gives the boards a distressed look and a really rustic feel.

These boards are coated with oils that seep into the layers of the wood and protect the surface from dust and dirt. Oiled floors need to be resurfaced every so often, but this maintenance pays off if an area of floor sustains damage because it can be touched up without major upheaval.

Brushed

Before applying wither and oil or lacquer finish, abrasive rollers are brushed over the surface of the wood to remove the softer grain. This allows the pattern in the wood to really shine through and gives a natural looking texture to your floor.
