Why Castle Combe Floor & Wall?
The distinctive character of each Castle Combe plank is achieved using a variety of antiquing and aging
techniques and finished with natural oils to preserve the original beauty of the wood.
Castle Combe’s natural oil process provides a warmth and refinement to the floor that cannot be achieved with
modern day acrylic or polyurethane coatings. The rich patina of each Castle Combe floor is only enhanced with
age and use - the more it is walked on, the more beautiful it gets. The natural oils in Castle Combe floors
penetrate the grain and become part of the floor, while the surface film of acrylic and polyurethane detracts from
the natural beauty of hardwood and degrades with age and use.
Castle Combe floors feature a distinctive and sophisticated range of distressed, sculpted, and antiqued visuals.
Each Castle Combe floor is meticulously crafted to ensure lasting beauty for generations to come. A solid oak
hardwood top layer rests on a multi-layered, dimensionally stable core giving each Castle Combe floor the
strength to withstand decades of use.

The Oil Finish Difference
A natural oil finish cannot be compared with today’s more popular acrylic, polyurethane, and aluminum oxide
finishes. These finishes protect the floor by forming a wear layer, in effect, a plastic film on the surface of the
floor. They scratch and get dull over time and cannot be spot repaired. A costly recoating of the entire floor is
necessary every so often for complete rejuvenation. An oil finish penetrates the wood fibers to harden them
while not altering the natural beauty of the wood. With no visual film on the surface, oiled floors are
distinguishable by their elegant patina. They are easy to care for and are repairable. An oiled floor never needs
to be sanded - only regular applications of a maintenance oil are necessary to nourish the wood and bring the
luster back.
