Cathedral Engineered Oak Flooring

Cathedral Flooring is our flagship brand and has all the hallmarks of a traditional hardwood floor. Primarily sold as Oak boards with Ash boards stocked but in smaller volume. Standard boards face widths are 140 mm, 160 mm, 180 mm and 200 mm.

Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring is made up of short wooden battens that are slotted together in a geometric mosaic. This gives a decorative flooring effect that is both beautiful and long-lasting. Also known as herringbone flooring, parquet flooring first became popular with European aristocracy in the 1600s.

Vicarage Flooring

The Vicarage range was originally produced for the commercial sector client “pubs and restaurants” as a less expensive alternative to our Cathedral Board. Once sold to the trade only we introduced it to retail customers three years ago. Our vicarage Board is similar to the Cathedral in appearance but the board thickness is 16 mm with a 12 mm ply substrate and a 4 mm Oak wear layer.

Staircases

Our stair sets are designed to resemble a staircase in the traditional sense with the treads ample in-depth for cutting to size. The standard steps are 1 m wide so suitable for nearly all domestic stairs cases. We also have sets 1.4 m long to cater for Kites and winders. For use on longer steps, we have a trade fitting 3m long. This can also be used as an Oak Window board.
