A central feature of our showroom is this authenticĀ replica Georgian oak floor. It provides a perfect foundation, complementing theĀ lime brickworkĀ and theĀ replica stone fire surround, both of which were also designed, manufactured, and installed by our team. We believe this display effectively demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and quality we deliver.
Wide Planks:Ā The defining feature of early Georgian floors was the use of wide planks, often of varying widths, due to the availability of old-growth trees. Narrower boards became a status symbol later in the era as oak became scarcer, so wide, random-width planks offer the most authentic look for the period.
To achieve a historic, darkened look for our main showroom oak floor, we used a traditional method of ammonia fuming. This process reacts with the wood’s natural tannins to create a deep, rich color. Following this, the planks wereĀ tumbledĀ to achieve a distressed, reclaimed appearance. Finally, they were treated with variousĀ colored oilsĀ for tone and protection. As is typical with this method, the flooring has developed an ongoingĀ patinaĀ and continued to change color subtly over time.
