FITTING CLEAN

Apitong is an attractive timber originating from South East Asia. This wood type is extremely hard-wearing, with a range of mid brown/ginger/pink colour tones, being made up of up to 60 different sub-species coming under the same trade name. For this supply we have fitting cleaned it. You can read more about this species here.

Before buying your parquet we recommend that you request a sample so you know what to expect.

Smaller amounts for repairs or infills:

If you just want to do an infill area, we will try to match the size and species for you before you buy so that you are sure of the wood type.

In order to use this service, we will ask for good photos in focus to be emailed with all three dimensions of the parquet block (L-W-D) and your full contact details please. In addition, you may need to send us an original block that we are matching. Please be ready to do this as it helps a lot with identification and we prefer to use our expertise than you guessing!

Condition

The parquet blocks are in good reclaimed condition and already fitting cleaned. This process is removal of the bitumen to 95% from the base, linishing of the sides, removal of the tongues and chopping of the ends. This creates a square-edged block ready to fit. Before buying your parquet we recommend you request a sample  so you know what to expect.

As with all reclaimed material the parquet blocks will require sanding prior to laying. . Once fitted the floor will need several sanding passes
