Help and Advice

 

We advise you to have your wood on site at least several days without any drastic change of temperature or moisture, prior to fitting, to allow your oak to acclimatize. Damage caused to, or by, the goods by not following this acclimatization process will not be compensated by the company.

 

Moisture is the only thing that will damage your oak. Always ensure that you have checked the recommended moisture tolerances in your floor, particularly if it is new, prior to laying the oak. Concrete should have a maximum of 2.5% moisture before oak boards are fitted directly on to it, and the atmosphere up to 65% maximum moisture content. Checking this is the responsibility of you and your fitter. Our oak is kilned to around 10% moisture.

 

Advice, information and opinion given by the company, or its agents is given without legal responsibility. Any recommendations or suggestions made by the company relating to the use of the goods, whether in technical literature or made in person is made in good faith but it is for the purchaser to satisfy themselves of the suitability of the goods for their particular purpose, and it is deemed they will have done so.
