What Is Weathered Wood Flooring?

Many of us adore the romantic aesthetic of a spectacular antique wooden floor. Stepping onto such a surface brings a sense of solidity, history, and nobility in tow! It is worth noting, however, that while some such floors may appear to have been shaped and reinvented by the passage of time, they are in fact far more modern than perception indicates. You might wonder: how is this achieved? The answer is with the installation of weathered wood flooring!

Indeed, weathered parquet flooring can give the instant appearance of a floor that has been in place for generations. Equally, weathered engineered wood flooring can lend a beautiful and authentic appearance within a period home, while also discreetly concealing underfloor heating! So, what do we mean by weathered wood flooring? Here, we will get to know the concept, giving you the power to decide if it is the perfect flooring option for your dream interior.

What Do We Mean By Weathered Wood Flooring?
Within today's society, a vintage or antique look is often cherished – whether to be found within our wardrobes, or within our homes! When envisioning the perfect floor for your newly realised interior, you may hope to find the perfect reclaimed wood flooring. Such floors can offer a fabulous impact. However, options for reclaimed wood can be curtailed by availability, and the exact form you desire might be difficult to acquire.

As the ideal alternative, the term weathered wood comprises that which has been treated in one way or another to create an aged aesthetic. Such flooring may appear rough and rugged, or may simply hold the mature hues and depth of grain that are normally only seen in wood with a winding life story. By opting for a flooring solution such as weathered engineered wood flooring, for your home, office, or commercial space, you can deliver instant maturity and character, while creating the exact ambience held within your mind's eye.

How Is The Look Of Weathered Wood Flooring Achieved?
The drive to manifest a weathered finish on wood has inspired a wonderful array of creative applications. A divine weathered wood floor may have been hand scraped, to create a unique texture, and a finish that harks back to the days before power tools! A more recent vintage appeal can be created with a band saw, which results in a characterful striping – perfect for adding personality and interest to a space.

Diligent woodworkers may use wire brushes to alter the appearance of your weathered parquet flooring. This particular technique will gently lift the softer wood between the grain,  making your floor's natural lines and textures appear more prominent. Wood may also be aged or distressed, using techniques such as tumbling. It may be smoked, to alter the woods colouration, or treated with a variety of natural waxes and pigments that will lend that aged appeal – a pale wash, for example, is immensely popular in this instance.

Where Can Weathered Wood Flooring Be Used?
Contemporary interior design liberates us to play with combining aesthetics from all sorts of different styles and eras. We might immediately imagine installing weathered engineered wood flooring within a period home renovation, but the appearance of weathered wood can contribute greatly to ultra-modern interiors too. When combined with clean lines and man-made materials, weathered wood can soften a space – creating greater allure for its inhabitants. In fact, any interior that serves as a blank canvas can be elevated to striking levels with such an introduction!

Because weathered engineered wood flooring – including weathered parquet flooring – can be laid both directly over a solid surface, or as a suspended floor, it allows maximum flexibility. Spaces that you may have imagined were off limits for the installation of a characterful hardwood floor become new realms of possibility! Whether you wish to add another authentic looking element to a beautiful historic property, or to introduce bountiful interest set against modern design, weathered wood flooring offers the perfect opportunity.
