FAQs

What does 'reject-grade' mean?

It means the boards did not pass the highest quality control standards for appearance and may contain knots, splits, and wane.

Can I use these in a bathroom?

Pine is a softwood and is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms unless sealed professionally with specialized marine-grade finishes.

Do I need to sand these boards?

Yes, because of the reject-grade nature, sanding is necessary to smooth out the natural imperfections and prepare the surface for oil or lacquer.

How much extra should I buy?

It is recommended to buy 10-15% more than the total square footage to account for cutting around natural defects.

Are these boards compatible with underfloor heating?

Pine is prone to expansion and contraction. Check the specifications of your underfloor heating system, but generally, solid wood is not recommended for high-heat systems.

Troubleshooting

Boards are not sitting flush

Check the tongue and groove for debris; ensure the subfloor is perfectly level before proceeding.

Excessive splinters during installation

Ensure the boards are sanded down to a smooth finish before walking on them.

Board warping after installation

Ensure the room was properly acclimated and that a damp-proof membrane was used if installing over concrete.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for high-density pine timber
  • Easy installation due to tongue and groove system
  • Provides a unique, authentic rustic aesthetic
  • Thick 21mm profile ensures long-term durability

Cons

  • Significant surface imperfections like loose knots and cracks
  • Requires careful selection and cutting to manage defects
  • Not suitable for minimalist or 'perfect' surface requirements
  • May require extra material to account for waste

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these boards, ensure your subfloor is level, dry, and clean. Use a standard flooring adhesive or blind-nail through the tongue for a secure fix. Given the reject-grade nature, always plan for an extra 10-15% of material to account for cutting away unusable sections.

Care Instructions

  • Acclimatization: Keep boards in the installation room for at least 48 hours to allow the wood to adjust to ambient humidity.
  • Finishing: Sand the surface thoroughly to address rough edges or splinters before applying your chosen floor finish.
  • Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled broom or vacuum with a wood-floor attachment to prevent scratching from grit. Avoid excessive moisture during cleaning.
