Solid Sweet Chestnut Flooring

Chestnut is of the same family as oak. This renders the wood very durable, meaning it is excellent for both natural outdoor use and flooring.

Chestnut Solid Wood Flooring

The grain of solid sweet chestnut wood flooring is very decorative it swirls along the board. One of our most beautiful native trees, the timber is extremely stable. The grain can be straight but is more commonly spiral particularly in timber from older trees.

Decorative Timber

The sapwood is narrow, and distinct from the heartwood which is a yellowish-brown in colour. Boards display some darker brown mineral streaks which blend into the movement of the grain. Sweet Chestnut solid wood flooring offers both contrast and warmth creating a beautiful and decorative floor.

Sutton Timber Sweet Chestnut

Long Lengths

Sweet Chestnut is placed in stick and air dried at Sotterley Sawmills for a year prior to sale. This allows the timber to dry naturally and mellow for greater stability. Sweet Chestnut is known to be a very stable timber, resulting in less movement, distortion and splitting. We stock both English and European Sweet Chestnut in long lengths and a range of widths.
