Please check the stock of our Holt engineered floors before placing an order. Some of the components used in these floors are manufactured in Eastern Europe and although the factory is still in operation, the war in Ukraine sometimes causes supply problems with some of the materials, so deliveries into us can be a bit hit-and-miss at times.
Dark Oak
Oaks produce one of the hardest and most durable timbers on the planet. Even it's Latin name, Quercus Robur, means strength. However it takes up to 150 years before an oak is ready to use in construction. It has been a prized hardwood timber for thousands of years and was the primary material in the building of ships up until the mid-19th century. It remains a popular wood for architectural beams and modern uses of oak include flooring, wine barrels and firewood.
