Flooring - Hardwood
Southern Timber have developed their flooring range to include softwood, solid hardwood and engineered floor boards. Oak is still incredibly popular but we also have ash, wide pitch pine boards and redwood pine flooring in stock. This selection is enhanced with door linings, skirting, architrave and planed timber to provide the finishing touches. Specialist SikaBond adhesives from Sika, hybrid hard wax oils from Treatex and other fixings and tools mean that virtually everything can be obtained from one source.
Solid timber oak flooring is normally imported in packs of assorted widths which are then machined to maximise yield without compromising quality. Packs may vary in size from around 25 sq. metres to as much as 110 sq. metres but within that pack the boards will be of fairly consistent length. Customers who specify 150 sq.metres of 182mm face size would therefore probably receive a mixture of board lengths, but wherever possible in the range they request
Southern Timber deliver from their Ipplepen, Newton Abbot base throughout Torbay,Teignbridge & the South Hams to Exeter & Plymouth districts and to many other parts of Devon & Cornwall. Larger consignments have been made to developers & contractors in Bristol & Avon, South Wales, Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey. Many packs of flooring can be delivered throughout the UK, please enquire for delivery costs and conditions

Ash Flooring rewrite
Ash Flooring has a light natural colour which varies from almost pure white to grey and the flooring is graded accordingly. Ash flooring is a British wood and as such will not feel out of place in your home.
The Ash was called by Gilpin "the Venus of the woods" and is one of the more important of our forest trees. It is truly indigenous to Great Britain and throughout the most part of Europe and North America. With the Privets, Olives and Lilacs, the Ashes form the small order Oleacea, a group of trees and shrubs with their leaves in opposite pairs, and with the parts of the flower in whorls of four or two.
Ash often reaches heights between seventy and ninety feet, with a girth often as much as twenty feet. Since ash grows best in moist situations in rich soils and when crowded, it will form a trunk free of branches to a great height. When standing alone ash grows large limbs, which divide into numerous branches so as to form a spreading head, whilst in old trees, especially when growing on rocky slopes, the branches acquire a downward sweep.
It may be merely rounded in outline or drawn up to some height, and the green of the foliage is somewhat dull and monotonous when viewed closely; but it is the transparency of the tree, and the play of light through its entire leafage, that give its chief charm to the Ash.
The wood of the Ash is a greyish-white throughout, the sap-wood being used along with the more central portions, an advantage peculiar to but few species. It is more flexible than that of any other European tree, and its value is increased by rapid growth. Few trees become useful so soon. The tree lives to an age of several hundred years but can be most profitably felled at from eighty to a hundred years old. For smaller wood it is, of course, largely treated as coppice. The roots and knotty parts of the stem are valued by cabinet-makers, and were, according to Evelyn, known as "green ebony."
