Unfinished
Unfinished floors come completely untouched and have not had any stains, oils, or lacquers applied to them. This allows you to finish your flooring however you see fit. There are numerous different finishes out on the market and each one has its pros and cons. Visit our finish guide to get a better idea of the benefits before deciding. You can then choose from a range of different colours and styles such as invisible, matt, or gloss. We advise that you always apply your finish before installing your new floor.
Brushed
Brushed finishes have a much more enhanced grain and texture to them. To achieve this look, we brush the floor using steel wire wool to remove the thin upper layers during the manufacturing process. The level of depth and texture varies, depending on the flooring type and level of brushing.
Handscraped
Handscraped finishes give each board its own individual character to create a worn and rustic look. The wavy surface of handscraped floors is extremely unique and looks especially good on glossy, lacquered boards. It’s also a great option for anyone with pets as it can hide and conceal any slight damage much easier.
Aged
Aged flooring is created by adding light wear to the surface of engineered wood planks, such as bumps and scrapes, to create the illusion of flooring that has been laid for years. Varying levels of aged finishes are available, giving an impression of short and long-term wear.
Distressed
Our distressed floors feature a range of slight imperfections to create a floor that looks worn and antique. This is a brilliant budget-friendly alternative to weathered reclaimed floors.
Lacquered
Lacquered finishes create a protective layer to help reduce damage from spillages, liquids, and light scuffs. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas. However, we still recommend cleaning any spillages as soon as possible to keep your flooring looking its best.
Oiled
Oiled finishes flow deep into the wood grain to enhance the floor’s appearance and offer deep protection. However, unlike Lacquered finishes, oiled flooring does not create a surface layer and therefore requires a higher level of maintenance. We find that most customers choose an oiled finish due to its striking colours and wood grain textures, rather than purely for protection.
