Antique Ale Brown

Named for its rich ale colouring, Royal Oak Floors Antique Ale Brown exudes a rustic, textural character. The natural elements of the boards are elevated through hand working, hand scraping, hand pegging and wire brushing in order to bring the rich grain texture of the timber to the fore. Created with distressed European Oak, Antique Ale Brown is a statement design choice, demonstrating the timelessness of rustic timber flooring.

The Harper & Sandilands journey into building supplies began in 1981 in an inner-city Melbourne warehouse. Royal Oak Floors’ Founder, Kim Harper, stored paint and picture mouldings in the downstairs space located in a quiet pocket of South Yarra, where his passion for design and quality products grew. In the early 2000’s, whilst sourcing new products overseas, Kim came home with something different. Engineered oak flooring made for the European and Scandinavian markets was to be the next big thing and he dabbled in selling small quantities to local builders.

Harper & Sandilands brings 40 years of experience to the design and construction industry. The Royal Oak Floors name is synonymous with quality engineered timber flooring and can be found in many of the most outstanding homes in Australia, including some of the top Architect’s and Designer’s own homes. Quality has always been the most important trait when selecting products. Royal Oak Floors works with the best timber mills in the world to produce our admired collections.
