History beneath your feet

Every reclaimed wood floor tells a story. With its rich patina, natural imperfections, and timeworn charm, reclaimed wood brings a depth of character that new materials simply can’t replicate. At Northfold, we have a deep respect for the history of these boards—whether they’ve been salvaged from old barns, historic townhouses, or forgotten industrial spaces. Each plank carries a past, and we take great care in preserving its beauty while giving it a new life in your home.

Unique character, built to last.

Reclaimed wood isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about quality. These boards, often from slow-grown, old-growth timber, are denser and more durable than many newly harvested woods. The knots, nail holes, and saw marks are all part of its charm, making every floor one of a kind.

We carefully source and hand-finish each plank to enhance its natural beauty while ensuring stability and longevity. Whether you’re after a rustic, heritage feel or a more refined, curated aesthetic, reclaimed wood brings warmth, authenticity, and timeless appeal to any space.

Laying Patterns to Suit Every Home

The way a floor is laid transforms its impact. With reclaimed wood, the natural variation in tone and texture makes each installation a work of art. Popular laying patterns include:

  • Classic Plank – Showcasing the wood’s natural beauty with long, straight boards.

  • Mixed Width Plank - Historically, many floors would be made with whatever planks were available, meaning that they were often in mixed widths. A lovely option for an authentically aged floor.

  • Herringbone – A sophisticated, timeless pattern that works beautifully with reclaimed wood’s rich tones.

  • Chevron – A sharp, geometric option for a striking visual effect.

  • Versailles Panels – Intricate, heritage-inspired panels for a truly bespoke feel.

Finishes & textures

Along with your preferred laying pattern, we can help you to find your perfect colour and texture for your floor with custom stains and lacquers. Taking an off-cut of your own wood, we’ll treat it in a variety of combinations, so that you can choose the one that fits best.

More than just flooring

Choosing reclaimed wood means choosing sustainability, craftsmanship, and heritage. No two floors are the same, and that’s the beauty of it. At Northfold, we work closely with you to find the right reclaimed wood for your home, ensuring that it not only looks incredible but also feels right underfoot.

Let’s create something unique, storied, and built to last.
