Old World is inspired by reclaimed timbers from around the world and characterizes authentic, worn flooring. Years of experience and experimentation have resulted in this hand hewn flooring. Each item demands a sequence of treatments such as smoking or fuming, oiling, buffing, sanding, and staining. Thanks to the handcrafting, the European oak planks naturally vary in surface, texture, and tone. Old World items include traditional colours as well as special and recent colour trends on Hakwood’s engineered European oak planks, finished with oils. Specialty colour treatments are applied in nine standard offerings. All Old World floors have an oil finish to maintain the texture and appearance of the real wood while providing a protective seal.
