There are estimated to be up to 900 varieties of oak, covering the inherent beauty and natural variation in grain, colour and strength. American Oak exhibits one of the more common and highly popular colourways, featuring a clarity in grain definition and highlighted ‘ray flakes’, which are caused by nutrient cells moving through the timber.

Portland Stone Classic Limestone Portland Stone represents the essence of a clean and uncluttered mineral. The moderate quantity of fossils found in the natural material are evenly and subtly distributed resulting in an intentionally demonstrated floor design. Classic Limestone is a product of all our histories. Given the reputation as a global building stone, it is often utilised in exterior architectural applications and features a fine to medium grain which exhibits delicately warming tones.

Classic Yorkstone Cambrian Stone Imposing a stronger structure to that of limestone, Classic Yorkstone gives an honest account of an active material. The characteristic energy implies a swirling vein presented in a golden tone, which can help lift an interior scheme. Interlocking a mix of complementary brown through to cream tones, Cambrian Stone features golden highlight flakes which picks up and interacts with the surrounding light. Replicating the complex nature of fossilised limestone, the brick formatted tile displays a medium to coarse grain and widely varying fossil intensity.
