Reclaimed & Bespoke

Our Reclaimed Collection and Bespoke service cover character oak, antique finishes and made-to-order colours. Tell us what you like about a floor you have seen — the tone, the width, the finish — and we will show you floors from our own range with those qualities.

Where to look
in our range.

People who look at Havwoods often want choice: many tones, wide boards and patterned floors in one place. Our range is smaller and curated, but it covers the same ground. For wide boards, start with our 220mm and 260mm planks such as Natural Oak 260mm and Smoked White Oak, or UK-made Douglas fir in 260mm boards up to three metres long. Comparing several brands? See also our Ted Todd alternative page.

For pattern, the Design Collection has geometric parquet such as Trellis Oak and Prism Walnut, alongside herringbone and chevron in every tone from white to smoked. If a particular colour has caught your eye, our Bespoke Collection of 29 made-to-order colours can be matched to a sample you send us.

Send us a photo of a floor you liked, or tell us what drew you to it, and we will suggest the closest floors in our own range and post samples free so you can compare them at home.

to Buy

Supply only, anywhere in the UK. Choose your floor, send us the room sizes, and we deliver by pallet with the quantity and wastage worked out. Ideal if you have your own fitter, builder or designer — we send the technical sheets they need. How supply only works →
