The difference between smoked floors

Smoked Oak

Smoked Oak is created by a natural re-action between smoking gases and the tannins contained in the Oak, because every piece of flooring contains a different amount of tannin each board takes on different colour tones from deep dark chocolate through to light caramel. It is also noticeable when the floor has been freshly smoked that it's overall colour tone is darker than it is after a few months.
Also after this period, the colour between the individual boards become much more harmonious and the rich deep brown golden tone comes through.
We have many samples on display of Smoked Oak flooring, which show how your floor will be after a few months. Please satisfy yourself that this is the floor you want, then just be patient and let nature work its magic and create you one of the most stunning floors we produce.



White Smoked Oak

White smoked Oak is created by a natural re-action between smoking gases and the tannins contained in the Oak, which leaves a warm brown base colour.
This is then coated with whitened hard wax oil. As with all smoked floors the true colour tone takes a few months to develop, shade differences between the boards become harmonious and the whole floor takes on a slightly warmer tone.
We have quite a few samples of white smoked flooring in the showroom, please satisfy yourself that this is the floor you want, then just be patient and let nature work its magic and create you one of the most stunning floors we produce.

This is a recent project we done in Coretec Acorn herringbone in a beautiful Suffolk house. we installed this in a classic herringbone pattern, the rich tones and timeless design brings warmth and elegance to the space perfectly. As you know, Coretec is one of our favorites products, and for good reason, but i also want to point out here a couple of things as the photos shows how difficult it is to show the true colour of a floor, the herringbone is the same but the light in the kitchen changes it dramatically. I also want to point out how amazing are skilled fitters are, with the photo bottom right with the kitchen door threshold. As you can see we have carried on the design perfectly, also the herringbone is perfectly positioned too, we are very proud of work here at Fore wood Floors and are Team.
