Pine comprises a large variety of subspecies, of which we frequently use Scott’s pine, Colombian pine, Pitch pine and Spruce, but if you think of pine flooring as akin to 1970s wood-clad conservatories or saunas, then think again.
- Pine flooring is a cost-effective alternative to oak, as it is a fast-growing and abundant species
- Pine is commercially-cultivated and easily sourced from new or reclaimed supplies, which makes it an environmentally-responsible choice of wood for flooring and furniture. Our reclaimed pine is even more eco-friendly as we a re repurposing previously manufactured timber, reducing the draw on natural resources as well as prolonging the value of its original production processes.
- It is a versatile material to create either a rustic contemporary look or a well-worn established aesthetic.
An abundance of choice with pine flooring
As a relatively inexpensive wood, much of our reclaimed pine flooring comes from scaffold boards, which provides a rustic-industrial aesthetic in its original form. Fitted with rosehead nails or screw and pellet fixings, we can retain that industrial look and the well-worn appearance is perfect for high-traffic areas as any further wear just adds to the character of the flooring.
Alternatively, our new and reclaimed pine can be smoothed and finished to provide clean lines for a contemporary high-end aesthetic, with a variety of colours drawn from both the natural wood and additional staining and finishing techniques.
What is lesser-known is that pine can be crafted to look like oak, through careful shaping, staining and finishing. Pine is not often thought of as a dark wood, but can be made to give the appearance of an antique, aged floor at a lower cost compared to oak. Take a look at our solid wood flooring portfolio and you might be surprised at the range of colours and textures we create with pine!
