We don’t just reclaim the finest antique woods; we restore them – beautifully. This gorgeous golden-hued oak floor perfectly exemplifies the skills our artisans’ have honed over decades. What initially appears to be an uncomplicated background of golden-brown colors quickly reveals much more. Look beyond the laboriously applied Burnished Hardwax Oil coating to see distinctive dark natural and man-made salients. They reflect the oak’s long and varied history, with each block, plank, and panel telling its own unique story. Because long-term durability and stability are paramount to the success of an antique floor, we’ve added an extra-thick 6mm wear layer onto our 12-ply USA standard construction 20mm/ ¾” boards here, meaning Babington will last lifetimes, telling yet more stories, if cared for correctly. We have an international reputation for our skills in reclaiming and restoring antique wood, such as this Oak. The wood we restore can be many hundreds of years old and we take this responsibility very seriously, we just hope you enjoy these floors as much as we enjoyed developing them. Architectural details are available upon request and are made to complement the tonal values of your floor. Please care for this floor using Care System 2.
