Bespoke Reclaimed Patterns

Our in-house joinery and skilled staff allow us to make absolutely any bespoke, made to measure, patterned floor. We mainly make these from our reclaimed, narrow exotic, hardwood strip floors and wider stock like reclaimed Pitch Pine or reclaimed Parquet block - but in truth any pattern can be created. Our vast stocks of reclaimed timber - with lovely textured surfaces - allow almost anything in terms of timber, textures, colour or finish, to be matched.

As with all our floors, we work to hold a semblance of history and personality that comes from whatever happened to the timber before we reclaimed it.

We offer traditional patterns as well as some contemporary ones of our own. However, our speciality is creating new bespoke designs to fit individual spaces - as designed and specified by yourself.

Old traditional patterns we have adapted to fit bespoke contemporary spaces include:

  • Single, Double and Triple Herringbone.
  • The Flemish Stretcher. Rarely used. Please ask.
  • End-Grain using 3 or 4 timber types.
  • Two or Three and a Dot.
  • Chevron cut to 45° or 30° dressed angle.
  • Chevron with Stretcher.
  • Basket-weave or Chess board.
  • Chess board with "T" sectional inset.
  • Ladder. With/without inset. Linear/off-centre.
  • Brick or Double Brick.
  • Herringbone or Brick with Stretcher.
  • Square Herringbone.

We believe that whatever you have in mind is possible - please ring us to discuss how we might help. Send us an image of what you want to replicate or what you want to match.

PROCESS:

These floors are available in a solid, engineered or overlay format in our workshops (see Specifications below) and can be hand-sanded to any of our soft, textured finishes, then finished to any agreed colour.

We have much experience of making a floor fit exactly into one room. Transitions between adjoining areas equally needs care and thought. As part of the pricing process, we do a take-off from drawings of each floor area and measure the exact width, length and dimension of each space. In this way we determine the ideal length and width of the battens, so the cuts and edge details at all borders, door thresholds and other transitions are balanced and finessed in an elegant way, for each and every job.

Once produced, we lay out each floor on a 1:1 basis in our layout areas. We find that this process has proved very effective in that clients can see the whole finished floor, including all awkward border details and transition thresholds. Any changes become obvious and can be dealt with in our workshop there and then - before the job comes to site.
