Solid Un-Finished Wood Flooring
Solid Un-Finished Wood Flooring
Solid unfinished flooring offers a vast range of unique wooden flooring, ranging from a variety of different textures, tones and thicknesses.
Unfinished flooring offers the buyer a dream choice; giving you the fantastic opportunity to create a style and finish that suits both you and your home. Unfinished floors are also a great choice for people who love working with wood as manually sanding, staining and buffering your own floor is a great achievement; something that more and more people are choosing as an alternative to finished woods.
A selection of our Solid Un-Finished Natural Oak flooring is made from the white oak tree, otherwise known as Quercus alba and is native to North America, often found around Texas and Northern Florida. The white oak tree is one of the most popular trees of the United States and is the official state tree of Illinois, Connecticut and Maryland. If left to grow the tree can grow up and over one hundred feet in height and can live for well over five hundred years.
White oak has been used as a building material for many centuries as well as serving as a popular wood throughout many countries including Japan where the wood was often used as a material for the Bokken training sword.
Thanks to the density of the wood, which holds a Janka hardiness rating of 1360 (much higher than the benchmark rating of 1290), white oak is an ideal wood for flooring as it can withstand high levels of traffic and friction as well as being highly resistant to sudden shocks and prangs.
Juglans Nigra, otherwise known as American Black Walnut, is a tree deriving from the walnut family and originates to eastern North America, often found around Ontario, South Dakota and Texas, usually around areas close to rivers. If left to grow, the tree can often reach the dizzying heights of around sixty feet and have a lifespan of around eighty years. The tallest known American Black Walnut resides on Sauvie Island, Oregon, measuring at a height of one hundred and twelve feet. The walnuts of the tree are also extremely popular in Northern America as the foodstuff is often used as a treat in cakes and pies, especially around autumn time, when the walnut is usually collected.
Like the wood of the natural oak tree, American Black Walnut offers an outstanding quality of wood, which is used for fine furniture, musical instruments decorative panels and flooring. With a Janka hardiness rating of 1010, it is slightly softer than white oak. Despite this, the material is one of the most prized American hardwoods due to its heaviness, stiffness and breathtaking dimensional stability. The wood is also ideal not only in the home environment but also a commercial one, as the wood is able to resist high levels of traffic and friction as well as being able to resist shocks of the highest degree.
