Yale Highbury has been singularly developed for those schemes where a reclaimed or antique, aged oak floor aesthetic is requisite. The weathered look of this engineered oak is superb, marrying elegant golden oak colours with magnificent old oak floor enchantment.
Hand-worked and beautifully crafted, Yale Highbury engineered oak flooring is directly inspired by the reclamation of old oak floors from historical architectural buildings such as mills & factories - commercial spaces which have seen decades of foot traffic and the oak floorboards exposed to a plethora of dirt, dust, grime & liquids. When you combine this with fluctuations of temperature & a harsh cleaning regime, the result is a weather-beaten aesthetic, with cracks and patina all coalescing to produce an oak floor of intense character. All the aging techniques employed are sensitively applied by artisans, often using techniques that we have developed in-house. The result is a gorgeously crafted old oak floor but in a modern engineered board. Yale Highbury is a truly luxurious floor, full of medium to dark golden oak tones, that will absolutely transform your interior.
Design tip: Furniture colours that complement golden oak floors include cool-toned neutrals such as soft greys, beiges and warm whites to create a fresh contrast. Add warmth and depth with muted greens or earthy terracottas.
Yale Highbury oak floor is available in 2.0cm (20mm) thick engineered boards, 220cm in length and 24cm wide (2200mm x 240mm) – a super-rustic, super-wide, reclaimed oak looking floor. This engineered wood flooring has individually distressed, weathered & antiqued face and edges and fits together via tongue & groove. More installation information can be found under the specification tab. this is a 20mm thick engineered oak flooring with a 16mm ply back and 4mm solid oak surface.

Weathered Boards | These ‘weathered’ reclaimed look floorboards have been precisely engineered to suit contemporary installations while maximising their antique charm. Through the engineering process, each board of Yale is made stable, durable and appropriate for installation in modern build environments, eliminating the risk of shrinkage or warping over time. There may be the occasional small void between the oak layer and the base ply which appears where the board has morphed as a result of the unique repurposed look board reaction to the stabilisation process. This is not a defect in the construction of the engineered plank, but a side-effect of the weathering & drying techniques used to fully realise the beauty of the antique wood look. It is these same weathering & drying techniques that produce the wonderful undulating, aged & cracked appearance in the face of the oak so to obtain this rustic, reclaimed appearance but with modern durability, the above is unavoidable, in other words you can’t have one without the other. |

Finishing Oil | Satin Hardwax Oiled |
Structural Board 20mm Format | The 20mm thick board can be laid directly on joists using an appropriate fixing mechanism. |
Grade | RUSTIC GRADE: Rustic grade wood has the largest range of colour variation, sap content and allows almost a limitless size and number of knots. There will be checks (stable splits) across & between the growth rings, all of which add to its natural charm. Filler will be used and the colour is traditionally dark, carefully selected to compliment the oak rather than to match it or ‘disappear’. Rustic grade oak produces a stunning, traditional vintage looking floor. |
Glue-Down | We recommend fixing engineered oak, where possible, with the Glue-down method. Using a high-quality adhesive will result in the most stable floor installation as the base of each board is bonded directly to the sub-floor. No underlay is needed and no gluing of the tongue and groove is required. We recommend Bona Quantum flexible wood flooring adhesive though many other brands are available – speak with your installer as they will likely have a tried and tested product they can supply. |
Floating | Glue-down method is not appropriate for sub-floors that are damp, are mixed i.e. timber subfloor combined with concrete/screed sub-floor or have specific requirements such as acoustic deadening. With sub-floors of this type the Floating installation method will likely be proposed by your installer. The boards are not fixed to the sub-floor but instead uses the weight of the floor itself to keep them in place, usually with the use of an underlay between the sub-floor and boards. The tongue & groove would normally be glued in a floating installation. NB: Beswick stone do not provide underlay, glue or any other wood installation product. |
Blending | Shade and colour variation should be expected in our real timber engineered oak products. Each board will react differently to the finishing processes used and have unique characteristics such as knots and highlighted grain. Stronger tone & colour variation can occur between batches, so it is recommended you ensure you order enough for your project in one batch. As always when laying real timber flooring a good number of packs should be opened at a time and blended. |
Cleaning | The Bona Premium Spray Mop for Oiled Wood Floor is the easiest and most effective way of cleaning oiled wood floors in the home. Simply spray and wipe the floor clean. It cleans and nourishes your oiled wood floor while providing extra protection. |
