Oak Wood Floor Information:

100% Solid European Oak is used to make the "Studio" style wood floor. A single piece of Studio Oak wood flooring is 1800mm long, and is made from 18mm thick, random length staves (approx 220 - 320mm) that are finger jointed together in length. The width of a single piece of Studio wood floor is 200mm, this is made from 3 lengths of the finger jointed oak being edge glued together.

Once the glue has dried the solid Oak wood floor is tongue and grooved and end matched. Stress grooves are then cut along the underside of the wood floor to reduce the risk of bending and to allow for ventilation.

The solid Oak wood floor is given a micro bevel. The micro bevel reduces the visibility of an uneven floor and blends one plank to another, reducing the step effect for minor imperfections. It allows for the solid wood floor to be easily edge matched.

The wood floor is sanded to a fine 150grit. A clear Oil is applied to the Oak, bringing out the natural quality in the Oak wood flooring. The 1800 x 200 x 18mm Solid European Oak Wood Floor is then packaged in plastic wrapping with cardboard ends for protection, shipped and ready enjoy for many years.

Oak Wood Floor Appearance:

The natural grain and quality of Oak is clearly visible once oiled. European Oak is very popular for wood floors, not only for its appearance but also for its hard wearing, durability and stability.

The colour does vary slightly under different light, and photo's do not always show a true resemblance so we have taken several photos of the Oak wood floor to give you as good an idea of the appearance as possible. We can supply samples of our different ranges wood floor for a small charge. If you would like to order a sample please contact us on the details below.

As you can see here the finger joints are not visible from the top of the Oak floor.

Oak Wood Floor Construction:

Tongue and grooved on the lengths and then end matched. The pieces of wood floor fit together easily and can either be glued, secret nailed or screwed into place.

The micro bevel reduces the visibility of an uneven floor and blends one plank to another, reducing the step effect for minor imperfections in your floor surface. Oak is a natural product, and is vulnerable to movement from natural moisture levels in the air and every piece can react differently. The micro bevel helps to blend in one piece to another, so as to always keeping an even and safe surface. The stress grooves on the underside of the solid Oak hardwood floor reduce natural movement and is designed to stop the plank cupping, they also allow for ventilation and reduce any condensation or sweating.

Finger Joint

micro bevel

no micro bevel

The finger joint is an extremely strong joint because of the increased surface area. To give you an idea of the strength of the joints and the glue used to hold them together, if the wood floor is put under immense pressure, the Oak wood would break along the grain before the joints. On the right is an example of a piece of wood floor that has been laid 1mm out of place, without the micro bevel there is a sharp edge that will catch and damage, or be damaged. With the micro bevel this problem is averted.
