Agba is a beautiful wood. Light in weight, pale tones and lovely with a colouring of golden yellow to pinkish. The grain is subtle, with a mahogany-like grain and texture but in yellow or pink tones. The supply we are offering is more generally a pink tone, known as Red Agba. Agba is found in schools, mostly from the late sixties onwards.

Please note:  In the description we use Imperial dimensions because that is how the blocks were originally milled.

Metric dimensions are rarely an exact match.

Where from?

Red Agba, reclaimed from Lan Franc School, Croydon. Unusually, this dates from the fifties.

Quantity

For sale in multiples of 1 sq m above the minimum purchase of 5 sq m – if you need a smaller quantity please contact the office directly.

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 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

This is an acme pegged block, in good reclaimed condition.

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

There is a layer of bitumen on the bases. The professional adhesives available these days will fuse with the bitumen and stick successfully without the necessity of removal. You can buy our recommended adhesive SikaBond 5500s on our website.

The blocks will require some preparation, prior to laying, particularly along the edges. This will give a tight fit and therefore a better finish.  The floor will need several good sanding passes after the completion of the block laying.

Photos of Agba parquet:

The photos show typical Agba parquet sanded and polished – this is the finished material, not the condition of the blocks to be sent out. The feature photo is a standard size reclaimed parquet supplied by us to a customer and fitted by a recommended fitter. However please note that it may not be the supply currently available.
