Pine Bedroom
Some instances require reclaimed flooring, this is generally hard or pitch pine reclaimed from demolition, and can be difficult to locate. An alternative is reclaimed joists which are then sawn and machined to provide the required thickness and surface finish. This ‘Pine Bedroom’ shows reclaimed pine joists that have been sawn, machined and finished using several coats of hard wearing satin floor varnish. To maintain authenticity the boards remain square edged and have not been converted to T&G.
Using similar methods, the architrave, skirting board and window board were made and installed to match the pine floor boards. All exposed pine was thoroughly sanded, sealed and several coats of varnish (with UV filters) were applied. In ths instance the architrave, skirting and window board were machined to have square edges, almost any edge design can be catered for by our machinery, or even sometimes by vintage hand planes. We use these planes on occasion when we are matching ‘old’ mouldings, dado rails, picture rails and beading for example. The alternative is sometimes to grind special cutters for our machines depending on the quantity of the moulding that is required.
