Frequently asked questions

What does AB grade mean for floorboards?

AB denotes the quality class of the wood, with the batch made up of A- and B-grade boards. Sound knots and natural colour variations are allowed, giving the floor an authentic wood look.

How are solid wood floorboards installed?

Floorboards are usually screwed or nailed to joists or battens, or glued to a flat subfloor. Before installation, let the boards acclimatise to the room and leave an expansion gap around the walls.

How should I finish unfinished floorboards?

After installation, sand the boards smooth and apply lacquer, oil, hardwax oil or paint. An oiled surface looks more natural and is easy to spot-repair, while a lacquered surface needs less maintenance.

Should I choose spruce, pine or oak?

Spruce and pine are softer and more affordable, and suit country houses and lighter-use rooms. Oak is harder and more hard-wearing, so it stands up better to busy households, furniture and pets.
