Solid Strip Flooring
Solid tongue and groove strip flooring has been used as an elegant floor covering for decades, with its warmth, style and class.
Tongue and groove flooring is designed to be laid directly onto joists, battens over concrete, or even nailed to old timber flooring and provides a tight plank-to-plank fit. Tongue and groove joints on both sides and ends of the plank ensure a continuous and stable surface.
The end matching (which is a tongue and groove on the ends of the boards), removes the need for ends to fall directly over a joist or batten. This results in less cutting and less waste.
It is designed to be nailed down and glued. 80mm board widths can be secret-nailed into the tongue while wider boards 130mm and wider are top-nailed for extra stability. Special widths of up to 240mm are available by order.
