FEELING THE TEXTURE

FINISHING ON A HIGH NOTE

Nothing better represents Woodworks than our Worn & Restored or Undulating textures. These textures are considered part of the Woodworks ‘house style’ and have been designed by us to introduce natural movement and undulations into your project. Our artisans work the wood by hand to accentuate the shape of the surface, bringing out the texture and paying homage to centuries-old original wooden floorboards. Feeling the texture is the only true way to understand what makes these woods so extraordinary, so we recommend ordering a sample box to experience our woods under your fingertips. Email hello@woodworksbytedtodd.com for a free consultation. Worn & Restored (1) and Undulating (2) are two of our most textured surfaces, and you can find all our Woodworks and Ted Todd textures here, from most undulant to Smooth (7).

With 12 different finishes available across the Ted Todd and Woodworks portfolio, we have a floor finish that’s right for every project. From lacquer or oil based, matt to satin sheen, our finishes help protect your hardwood floor from damage.

Whilst many of our floors are created complete with a finish to save you time and effort later, we have many unfinished options which you may decide to finish on site in line with your specifications. There are important aesthetic outcomes to consider however. Almost all our finishes will change the tone of our floors in some way, and understanding the colour change when picking your most appropriate finish is very important. Hardwax Oil, Natural Oil and Oil Wood Traffic will give the floor a much darker look, whereas water-based finishes such as our Naked Skin Lacquer and Satin Lacquer give a more medium-to-dark tone. We can provide samples of our different finishes if you wish to view them as part of your specification process. To order a finishes sample box, please email sales@tedtodd.co.uk
