We produce this European oak in three different formats: CONTINENTAL OAK or  EUROPEAN OAK, or CASTLE OAK depending on how it is machined and what width, but all from same source.

EUROPEAN OAK is an elegant characterful timber with more grain change and colour variation than American oak. This type of oak can lend itself to modern and historic interiors.

ORIGINS

Our European Standard and Continental oak flooring is sourced from sustainably managed forestry in France and Germany.

The trees used are selective thinnings which are felled during September and October as part of a sustainably managed forestry programme. The butts(logs) are then sawn, graded and airdried during the winter months, before being dried in high tech kilns.
