Case Study 1: Antique Oak
General Specification in similar settings:
This type of antique oak flooring is re-milled in order to retain its original aged and patinated top surface. It is re-milled to a standard thickness with tongue and grooves for ease of laying, and re-kiln dried to a very low moisture content, which can make this antique oak flooring suitable for laying over underfloor heating if specified. No single technique can reproduce this patina of an original antique worn surface and therefore this antique flooring immediately creates a rustic and exceptionally aged original appearance.
Various degrees of sanding and the use of pigmented stains finishes can be combined to achieve a satisfying end result. This sample has been water based polyurethane stained.
