Barn oak from Pennsylvania (Amish Barns)


Reclaimed hand hewn barn oak salvaged from the siding of barns the boards vary in width 5" up to 16". This is an entirely character floor with nail holes, shakes and saw marks and evidence of years of weathering. We select every board in the process of treatment so as to offer a completely unique and inspiring addition to your home. After careful selection the boards are squared and slightly rounded at the edges then put through a light sanding machine several times to ensure as much of the character can be preserved. This is truly a floor that will generate all the best that wood flooring can be in your home.Great in traditional interiors but can also create atmosphere in the most minimalist interiors. Barn oak has had special mention on the current BBC programme hosted by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen as have many of our products throughout the series. A trip to the yard has unearthed many an imaginative outcome for clients with an eye and desire for something unique; in fact we are often inspired when a piece we`ve had in stock is given a new role in someone`s home where an old church altar becomes a fireplace or amazingly old cast ironmongery is transformed to something cutting edge in lighting design.
