Solid Oak Antique Flooring
Antique oak flooring can at times be reclaimed flooring, but should you be unsure as to whether to use reclaimed wood, why not consider new wood flooring, pre-finished in Antique style. This is a great option that creates an authentic antique design.
There are a variety of pre-finished antique oak floors available but here are a few recommendations to look for when selecting:
- Consider the thickness of the boards – the thicker the better.
- Look for tongue and groove with a micro-bevelled edge for easier fitting using secret nailing or bonding.
- Check the seal applied to the wood is a UV seal that is cured and contains ceramic elements. This type of seal results in the most authentic antique appearance, as the surface finish is semi-glossed.
To create that authentic antique feel in your home hardwood flooring will be essential. Use the guide to ensure your flooring choice will create a traditional base for your furniture and artefacts.
