A quality well installed hardwood floor provides the perfect setting for exciting interior design across the whole spectrum of house and room styles. Oak flooring has always had a firm place in Interior Design whether it be in a modest modern home or in a luxury bespoke development. In smaller properties Oak flooring can offer a light and bright living environment and help small spaces take on flare whilst also achieving a natural flow when continued from room to room. Laid in narrower widths and with simple finishes it's the perfect cost effective solution to create an element of luxury and add value to a project.
Wider boards up to 260mm wide are ideal proportions for larger scale rooms. Flooring with a lively amount of knots will give a space strong character while prime graded flooring offers calm appearance and atmosphere. Dark rich tones such as American Walnut make a real statement and create an elegant design.
If a project commands premium fixtures and fittings then flooring with generous widths and deep colours are impressive in spacious rooms. Chevron and large herringbone designs have an instant impact on an area.
When maximising the design potential of a project the use of decoration, lighting, and layout, all play an important role in making spaces work effectively, the flooring is an essential part of this design process. Bespoke machining and finishing can produce a floor that is one of a kind which can be refined further with texture and sheen levels. Installing wood flooring gives an opportunity to create a unique character, style, and add warmth to a space. Ultra Interior create beautiful and practical hardwood flooring solutions - contact us anytime to discuss how we can help with your current and future flooring projects.

Ultra Interior can transform your existing old and worn wooden floors back to their former beauty.
Using new modern sanding equipment we take the wood surface right back to fresh clean material. Expertly using specific machines for specific areas of the project means we can achieve fantastic results. You'll also be pleased to know the whole process is virtually dust free thanks to the excellent extraction systems on our sanders.
Once all the dirt, dents, scrapes, and years of wear have been skilfully removed we treat the floor with high performance Oils or Lacquers for a beautiful and long lasting finish for years ahead.
For further information on floor refurbishment email darren@ultra-interior.com or call to discuss your project in more detail.

While it is possible to install Solid wood over underfloor heating using specific installation criteria an Engineered flooring product is the solution for using wood flooring in conjunction with modern day under floor heated projects.

Its multi- layer construction makes it dimensionally very stable and highly suitable for properties being built with under floor heating systems. Under floor heating is now regarded as a standard inclusion in quality developments, as are hardwood floors. There are a number of under floor heating systems available and therefore choosing a woodfloor supplier with experience of fitting floors over heating systems is important so it can be tailored to the specific project. A typical high quality engineered board will have a top wear layer up to 6mm thick such as Oak with a high quality hardwood ply base material such as Birch. Engineered wood floors can be installed in various methods including, fully bonded, nailed, part glued, or with acoustic systems onto concrete or timber or onto joists so whatever the type of subfloor engineered wood floors offer a solution. Fully finished boards which have their Oil or Lacquer finish applied in the factory are of great benefit to the contractor or home-owner as these can be installed quickly and efficiently without the need for other trades to be excluded from floor areas awaiting drying and hardening of the finishes. They can also be covered over immediately with a protective layer to stop damage from dust and debris during the remainder of the project works.
Having a professional supply and installation team is key to the success of a wood flooring project. On site problem solving, dealing with technical challenges effectively and having an eye for detail will ensure the
floor is fitted technically and aesthetically correct. The supply team will be able to advise the contractor on specification of subfloor build up and selection of the appropriate floor finish for its intended use. Contact Ultra-Interior for advice and information on the Engineered flooring options suitable for your project.

Ultra Interior have always been at the forefront of developing and creating innovative finishes as part of their bespoke wood floors. Our finishing techniques bring out the best in the wood are chosen per project so as to ensure the most appropriate surface treatment is given to each individual project.

As part of our extensive range of finishing options Ultra Interior are pleased to present their 'Ultra Natural' finishes for Oak floors which retain the original pale Oak tones as seen when in its first untreated state.

Our special formulas counter the darkening effect of the Oak associated with more traditional Oil and Lacquer wood treatments. The Oil version keeps the wood an extremely matt sheen level and flat surface texture for a beautiful finish. The Lacquer option offers unrivalled protection, resistance to wear and ease of maintenance whilst of course retaining a stunning natural pale Oak appearance.

Both the Oil and Lacquer versions of our 'Ultra Natural' finishes are expertly applied in our own finishing workshop ready to be delivered to site and installed with no downtime waiting for drying and curing times on the project.
Look out for projects with the 'Ultra Natural' finishes appearing in the galleries soon. You can also contact Ultra-Interior anytime for further information and guidance on finishes for your project.

Ultra-Interior work in close partnership with Architects, Designers, and Home-Owners to offer valuable and expert advise concerning all major flooring projects.

On-site consultations are available throughout the UK where we can give detailed technical advice and support on sub-floor build up, preparation and installation. We are expert in all aspects of floor design and finishing options and can guide you through the appropriate options for your project requirements.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss a current or future project in more detail and to arrange an on-site consultation.

In addition to beautiful bespoke hardwood flooring Ultra Interior can create stunning table slabs to complete your interior. These are made to order with each and every example being unique and one of a kind. The material is sourced from private land owners where the tree is a very old specimen requiring felling.

Starting with large individual section of the tree trunk the raw material remains a long period air drying sometimes this process is over many years due to the thickness of the pieces. The material is then kilned and prepared for working into a beautiful and practical surface.

Recent projects include unusually large and rare sections of English Burr Oak which were selected particularly intense amount of the burr feature. These table slabs were created for a number of very high profile stores including Liberty’s and Harrods London.
After sourcing the over 100 year old tree locally work started on the slabs in the workshop. The perimeter bark was removed to reveal the live edge cambium then moulded and blended – all by hand. The surface was also hand crafted inch by inch over many hours to remove the sawing marks but also to retain and emphasise the natural undulation of the Oaks surface. After lavishly hand application of Oils the slabs were finished to the complete satisfaction of the client.

Another of the latest slab projects was for a client who commissioned Ultra Interior to create a dining table for their new Cheshire home.
The scale of the required piece was a challenge in finding the suitable raw material. In order to achieve the size a massive 130 year old Cedar tree was sourced which had been cut and been air drying for over 4 years. Once back at the workshop the 3.5m x 1.1m slab was re-cut to the required length. The edges were sculptured to emphasise the chamfer profile which indicates the original position of the slice within the log. These edges were hand worked to draw out the softer wood and show off the heavy but fluid grain profile.
Another challenge were the interesting bark intrusions which initially looked quite sound but on being worked were found to have a lot of decayed material within. These unusually positioned features are where birds and squirrels have delved into the body of the tree to nest, over many decades the wound in surface begins to heal itself by way of growing a bark skin. These unusual features are also sometimes caused by an injury to the tree such as storm damage where large splits open up the limbs of a tree, again over many decades bark begins to form and skin over these wounds. In order to keep the bark intrusions and be part of a practical surface the decay was carefully removed and the area specially treated. Small sections of sound material also over 100 years old was skilfully used to match and infill the bark intrusion enabling them to be retained and create a distinctive feature to this huge table. Hand finishing and planting the slab onto a bespoke made steel base completed this one off unique huge dining table.

Examples of these very bespoke table slabs can be seen in the ‘Collections’ section of the website under ‘Ultra Table Slabs’

Ultra-Interior specialise in wider plank hardwood flooring. Beautiful wide boards create a stunning feature in both traditional and contemporary interiors. What makes them particularly attractive is you get to see all the intricacies and detail of the trees from which the flooring has been formed including lovely grain pattern contours, stunning figure and rays, and of course the character of the knots from branches and limbs from upto a hundred years of growth in some of the species that we use.

Our widest planks are available in both solid and engineered format. Solid flooring is a single thick layer of one material which responds to changes in its environment such as heat and humidity more readily than an engineered version. Engineered flooring is made up of a thinner layer of solid material set on a base of cross layered plywood which gives it a stable substrate and is less prone to severe movement. For today’s environments where a lot of projects include under-floor heating systems an Engineered floor is the best option.

Our Engineered Oak flooring can be produced in widths up to 320mm and lengths up to 5m and bring a real luxury element to a project. All can be supplied either unfinished for on-site applications or we can supply fully pre-finished in a range of Bespoke Oil and Lacquer options

For further details and information on our extra wide and long board flooring please contact Ultra-Interior to discuss your requirements further.

Ultra-Interior are involved in a number of current projects designing and creating individual floors for a range of different property styles.
Some completed projects are featured in the collections section of the website under 'Recent Projects'. Latest work included here are the stunning Oxfordshire new build, and the fantastic Old Forge in Leicestershire.

The Oxfordshire project required a large quantity of flooring for this prestigious new build family home. Following consultation with the Clients Interior Designer, Ultra-Interior were appointed to supply flooring that would meet both the high specification and the aesthetic appeal required for such a project. A wide board engineered Oak floor was supplied with a robust Burnished Oak Oil finish. The subtle brushing and dark rich Oil application enhance and accentuates the varied beautiful grain patterns of the French Oak. The flooring compliments and forms part of the interior design across the many areas where it is incorporated including the Living room, Library, and a large Snug room adjacent to the Pool room.

The Leicestershire project is a 19th Century home which also still has the charming original Old Forge building. Both the Main building and the Forge have recently undergone a major refurbishment and extension.
Ultra-Interior were appointed to create and install a very unique floor which would be a striking feature of the new contemporary family kitchen but also be complimentary to the older traditional part of the building.
After consultation with the client Ultra-Interior sourced specific extra wide raw material for a very special Solid inch thick Oak floor hand-worked in the style of old flagstones. The original saw marks and scars from when the logs were milled at the sawmill are retained on the face of the material. Each piece individually cut to size and edges softened and the face hand sanded keeping the natural undulation in each individual piece of Oak. The flagstones were then hand-finished and antiqued with a lacquer finish prior to installation.
The result is a fantastic substantial and individual Solid Oak Flagstone Floor with a smoothness underfoot but with a unique vintage sawn appearance.

For further information on these or any other of our bespoke floors please contact Ultra-Interior to discuss how we can help create a beautiful Wood floor for your project.
