Reclaimed Antique Oak

Hakwood introduces new flooring range

Hakwood has made the addition of Reclaimed Antique Oak flooring to their collection for the simple reason that such high quality antique wood deserves a second life.

“For our Reclaimed Antique Oak flooring, we searched in all of Europe and found the heartiest antique beams. Salvaged wood that is strong inside and beautifully weathered on the outside.”

Mark Hak, Owner

The material

The story of our Reclaimed Antique Oak started over 250 years ago, when the trees began to grow. For more than 100 years each tree was nurtured by the elements. Once felled, it was made into a structural beam for a barn, shed or home. Over a century later, while the usefulness of the original structure has faded away, the wood beam itself is far from its end. These are the beams Hakwood sources to produce Reclaimed Antique flooring.

The wood has attractively aged with the natural forces of time, weather, and the elements. Scars from metal used in construction and the effects of light and moisture have added natural character to the wood.

The production process

Through a process which involves hand scraping the face of each plank and hand distressing the side edges, repairs are individually carried out by hand. Traditional oil is then applied to protect and seal the flooring. Working by hand is key in preserving the character of the aged wood.

Full control for architects and designers

Three depths of colour are available to select from. For your signature needs, the Hakwood development lab is ready to help you make your own bespoke colour. When installing the floor, multiple widths of planks are randomly mixed. By blending the different widths a natural rhythm is given to the floor, enhancing the antique appearance of the Reclaimed Antique Oak. If it suits your project, a herringbone pattern may also be selected. Because Hakwood products are made to order, architects and designers have full control over the details. When specifying Reclaimed Antique Oak, you may select the edge detail and sheen you desire, as well as the format and dimension.

Reclaimed Antique Flooring in Austrian Wine Cellar

Situated in St. Johann (Tirol) in Austria, this wine cellar is associated with HANEL, an engineering firm, who use the room as a social event space.  Events are organised here for customers and the space is often used as a location for networking and corporate wine tasting events. Hakwood Reclaimed Antique flooring was specified to suit the wine cellar, designed by Norbert Bergmann from Plan 360 architects.  Bergmann comments:

“The wine cellar is a meeting place for creative people where high quality wines are presented in raw steel shelves and served on old oak barrels. It seemed only natural to select an aged wood floor, which Hakwood offers in their Reclaimed Antique range. The quality of their materials inspires creativity”.
