About Larch Wood Flooring

Larches are conifers in the family Pinaceae. They are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere, on lowlands in the far north, and high on mountains further south. Larches are among the dominant plants in the immense boreal forests of Russia and Canada where the cool temperature inhibits the growth and encourages a tighter grain. Because of this, Northern Larch wood flooring is almost Pitch Pine like in appearance

This larch is FSC certified flooring, we also stock a variety of fsc certified oak flooring

Larch is valued in forestry for its wood, which is tough, waterproof and durable, with top quality knot-free timber being in great demand for a variety of uses from furniture, flooring and interior design to yachts and other boats. Larch wood flooring is known to exhibit distinctively handsome flame-like colour patterns, small knots, tight grains and varying hues.

The heart-wood is reddish-brown, when grown in a cold situation, and very light in weight, weighing when dry about thirty-six pounds per cubic foot; but the wood of the richer soils of lowland forests is often of a yellowish-white. Owing to the small size of the lateral branches the wood is comparatively free from knots, and those which occur do not rot or become loose. No wood remains longer uninjured by water than larch, so that it was once largely used on the Continent for waterpipes; and when the bark is left on it is extremely durable, both above and under ground, and therefore suited for use for posts, vine-props, and hop-poles. For these purposes it is planted close, so that the trunks are drawn up in a long and slender form. The closeness of the grain, moreover, renders Larch timber much less liable to splinter, which adapts it for the superstructures of warships.

Trip Trap Maintenance Oil - Maintain an oiled wooden floor by using this natural oil from Denmark after preparation by wet cleaning with Intensive Wood Cleaner. Sanding or scraping is not normally required. Only a small quantity of oil is needed to smooth loose wood fibres and repair any wear to the protective finish. Hence, this oil has a low viscosity to allow a very thin application. Maintenance is necessary when the floor has become worn. Maintenance Oil is also used during the commercial application of Master Oil, or to thin Master or Colour Oil for manual application
