The Benefits of French Oak Flooring!

Oak has long been the wood prized by craftsmen and artisans, the world over. Unmatched in its strength and resilience, Oak has been tested time and again, in peace and in battle, Castles, Warships, Manor Houses, Doors, Wine barrels, Whiskey barrels, fine furniture and flooring. All of these owe a great debt to the mighty oak tree.

There are over 600 different species of the oak tree, but long revered for its fine qualities and even colors is French Oak.

It has a high tannin content, that makes it very desirable for many uses. Long used in the barrel industry, due to the distinct flavors that it imparts to the wine or whiskey, this same wood graces many floors. The same high tannin content that flavors the wines also allow you to create custom colors on your floor that would otherwise be nigh on impossible.

Cool deep greys, dark rich browns, warm coffee colors and light airy whites, these are all possible with the French Oak species. It is possible to create a very monolithic floor that could grace an art gallery or a vibrant characterful floor that just invites you to smile.
