Brushing is a great way to create a traditional look & can give new floorboards the character of reclaimed timber. The process involves running a wire rotary brush over the boards in the direction of the grain to remove the softer fibres of wood. This emphasises the contrast in the grain of your floorboards, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood’s structure.
Brushing options
At Chaunceys, our Bristol finish team can create a wide range of textures in-house. We can brush your wooden flooring to various depths depending on the look you want to achieve. Light brushing adds a subtle amount of texture & charm, whereas heavy brushing is more dramatic & provides a very tactile rustic finish. These textures are available on all pre-finished Chaunceys boards.
Sawn & Brushed
We also offer cross sawn & brushed boards, which we wire brush & rough saw across the width of the board to create the unique ripples of band sawn timber. The effect is raw & simple, replicating traditional timber cutting methods. If you want to create a beautiful floor that connects to the past, take a look out at our Sawn & Brushed collection.
Camouflage for scratches
Brushed wooden flooring is great when it comes to hiding scratches. Therefore, these textured finishes are a popular choice for high traffic areas.
