Solid Elm Flooring Boards

Stunning wild grain, in our opinion the most spectacular of all our English hardwoods.

Elm Solid Wood Flooring

English Elm flooring creates a stunning floor. Extremely hardwearing exhibiting colours of rich honeyed browns. At Sutton Timber we understand that care needs to be taken with English elm as the grain is quite wild and the wood is therefore more sensitive to variations in moisture. In modern homes we suggest the use of English Wytch Elm as it offers greater stability.

Superb alternative to Oak

The colour of elm solid wood flooring ranges from what could be described as dark purple to light green, with various hues of silver and brown in between. However, the true character is in the wonderful grain that swirls and flows around small knots and pips along the board.

Mixed Width Wide Elm Floorboards

We carefully source our elm logs from those that have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease and are felled as a result. Our elm can be supplied in wide boards, in a mixed or standard width and in long lengths. All our flooring is machined on site in our joinery shop at Sotterley Sawmills. Our mixed width floors create interest and variety within the floor. Creating a less formal appearance than a standard width floor which is maybe better suited to a more contemporary space.

Hardwearing Traditional Elm

Solid elm is a hardwearing, durable and beautiful floor and well worth consideration. With wide variation in colour and grain direction it features burrs, knots and lots of swirling grain. Boards are supplied unfinished allowing for sanding and sealing in situ. This ensures an even and flat surface across your floor. Both English and European elm flooring provide a wonderfully interesting floor that is bursting with character and interest.
