Wood Flooring Textures Explained

When it comes to wood, texture is more than a surface detail — It can transform your space. From sleek and smooth to rugged or reclaimed - the texture of your wood adds character, depth, and feeling to your living space to offer a modern or aged interior.

  • Smooth Sanded

    Smooth texture represents the most refined, clean-cut finish available in wood. Carefully sanded and finished, a sleek, flat, and flawless look that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.

  • Aged and Distressed

    Distressed wood is all about character, charm, and timeless appeal. Hand-applied techniques simulate wear, including cracks, dents, and tumbled edges for a reclaimed look to replicate the feel of wood that has been aged by years of use.

  • Brushed and Textured

    Brushed texture enhances the natural grain of the wood by using a range of brush techniques to remove the softer fibres of the wood from the surface. This process gives a subtly textured, tactile finish that adds depth, character, and a beautiful organic feel to the wood. Available in light, medium or heavy textures.

  • Sawn

    Sawn texture celebrates the raw, unfinished beauty of wood straight from the sawmill. Featuring visible saw marks — It’s a favourite for clients seeking a reclaimed, industrial, or vintage feel.

  • Weathered

    Weathered wood texture captures the essence of timber that has been aged naturally by the elements. This finish offers a beautifully worn, organic feel with authentic character to every board.

  • Handscraped

    Handscraped wood showcases a uniquely textured surface, crafted to mimic the irregular markings made by traditional methods. Each plank features subtle ridges, grooves, and undulating grain that creates a sense of depth and character. — perfect for spaces seeking a rustic, vintage, or farmhouse aesthetic.
