The Great House Antiqued French Oak Flooring Collection has an old world aesthetic and a hand craftsmanship that exude versatility in a multitude of interiors. From an elegant Parisian pied-a-terre to an Aspen contemporary home to an old country French farmhouse, The Great House Antiqued French Oak Flooring Collection will create stunning backdrops for all these interiors. This is an antiqued French Oak floor with historic elegance, where nuanced colors arrive from a 7-10 step oxidation method.
The Oxidation Method
Our Antiqued French Oak Flooring Collection is an aged and distressed French oak wood floor with a vintage, rich patina surface. The color is not arrived by stains or oils, but by an oxidation process working within the oak tannin that changes the composition of the wood fibers. This is a 7-10 step process with drying time in between each plank. Working within the tannin of the oak planks, an accelerating aging and coloring process takes place, which achieves the matte patina and translucent colors of an authentic reclaimed French oak floor. They arrive pre-finished for the patina and color are now apart of the surface texture of the wood floor - there are neither stains nor oils floating on its surface. The boards are then individually worked and hand finished to achieve the authenticity of an 18th century patina. The texture and finish cannot be reproduced on site. Over time, these wood floors will continue to age and patina in one's home - which are stunning. Scroll down to view the entire Collection of our Great House Antiqued French Oak Flooring Collection.
