Floorboards

At Howarth, we offer an extensive selection of floorboards, perfect for any home improvement project. Our wooden floorboards, typically crafted from high-quality redwood or whitewood, are known for their durability and ease of machining. These tongue and groove floorboards are planed to create a smooth, attractive finish that allows the boards to interlock securely, ensuring strength and stability once installed.

Our timber floorboards are available in both redwood and whitewood, two types of softwood that are ideal for structural uses, such as studwork, joists, and even door linings. Here’s how they compare:

  • Redwood floorboards are highly durable, easy to machine, and absorb treatments well, making them perfect for construction and finishing work.
  • Whitewood floorboards are naturally resistant to treatment and equally durable, suitable for both hand and machine tools. They can also be glued, painted, or treated with floor paint for added protection and style.

Floorboards: The Foundation of Every Room

Wooden floorboards serve as an excellent base layer for any living space, whether it’s a bedroom, dining room, or hallway. Often referred to as a subfloor, these oak floorboards, pine floorboards, or timber floorboards can be covered with your choice of final flooring, such as carpet, tiles, or cleaning laminate floorboards for a modern look. However, if you’re aiming for a rustic, natural aesthetic, leaving your wooden floorboards exposed can add warmth and character to your home.

Enhancing Your Floorboards with Paint or Stain

If you prefer to leave your floorboards uncovered, consider using floor paint to inject color into your room or opt for a stain to enhance the natural wood grain. You can choose from gloss, satin, or matte finishes to suit your personal taste. Staining your pine floorboards or oak floorboards brings out the rich tones of the wood, while painting offers a more creative and customizable approach.

Maintaining and Improving Your Floorboards

To keep your wooden floorboards in top condition, consider filling any gaps with floorboard gap filler and sanding them down with a floorboard sander to maintain a smooth, even surface. For additional comfort and insulation, especially during the colder months, installing floorboard underlay is highly recommended. It will not only keep your home warm but also improve the acoustics of your space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to stop floorboards creaking?
To stop floorboards creaking, sprinkle lock lubricant or talcum powder into the joints between the floorboards. Then place a cloth over the boards and walk back and forth to work the powdery lubricant down into the cracks. This will reduce wood-on-wood friction between the planks and silence small squeaks.
Is it worth insulating under floorboards?
Yes, it is worth insulating under floorboards as sometimes 10-20% of heat loss is due to the floor.
What grade sandpaper for floorboards?
Sandpaper grits for wooden flooring generally range from 16-150 grit, with 150 being the finest grit.
What screws are needed for floorboards?
We would recommend using 60mm wood screws for floorboards.
How much do new floorboards cost?
The average flooring installation costs between £400-£1000. However, the cost of installing new flooring will vary depending on the type of flooring that you want to install and the size of the rooms.
What do floorboards sit on?
Floorboards can be sat on joists.
Can you lay floor tiles on floorboards?
Yes, tiling over floorboards can be possible with the use of plywood or backer boards.
