•   Antique Oak can be used over under-floor heating without     needing to be re-kilned.

•  Boards should be secret nail fixed and can be face fixed    using cut nails for a more rustic finish if preferred.

For further details of fixing methods and more general fitting information see " Wood Floor Want To Know More? ".

• After fitting, fill any open knots and cracks with a dark 2    part polyester or cellulose based filler, leaving as little    excess on the surface of the board as possible. To test the    colour of any filler, apply to a sample and then put a coat of    the intended finish - filler also changes colour when selaed.

•  Sand using an 80 grit and then a 120 grit sandpaper -    ideally using an upright belt sander.

•  For a traditional style finish which will develop patina over    time, Antique Oak should be finished with Broadleaf    Hardwax Oil.
