Elswick
Elswick is the newest innovation within the English Native Timbers collection, crafted from the very best oak in the species, English Oak.
Organic in tone and feel, we have carefully created these gently worn and smooth sanded floors that. A sophisticated statement.
Elswick’s smooth surface brings the wood to life and gives you a greater appreciation for the quarter-sawn and rift-sawn cutting of the wood. The grain and medullary rays are revealed to showcase the wonder of wood. Hand-rolled edges then allow these patterns to flow across the entire floor.
We saw our English Oak logs in the same traditional manner that they have done for hundreds of years. This method is known as quarter sawing. By doing this you get a little less wood from each log, but the usable wood has the best stability possible. Quarter-sawn oak mainly moves in its thickness and not in its width. Truly a magical material.
Architectural details for all of our English Native Timbers floors are available. Please care for this floor using Care System 2, designed for use with our Burnished Hardwax Oil finish.
Architectural Details
Add the perfect finishing touch with our architectural details all of which have been specifically designed and manufactured for Ted Todd.
Mouldings, trims, beads, skirting, architrave, treads and risers are architectural details that are an essential part of every flooring installation. Special consideration should be given to floor-to-floor transitions, floor-to-wall design, and how floors progress across multiple levels.
Architectural details give spaces cohesion and create a harmonious flow, softening connections and hiding delineations. All of these details are most effective when they work seamlessly with your floor. This is why our floors and architectural details are created by us, to complement each other.
Installation
Installing a wood floor is no mean feat and we always recommend it is undertaken by a professional flooring fitter.

Care and maintenance
To prevent any potential harm to your floors, it’s crucial to choose the right cleaning products. Unlike many generic floor cleaners that contain solvents or bleach, which can lead to floor damage and discolouration, our Ted Todd specialist cleaning products have been designed to protect and promote floor longevity.
- If your floor has a lacquered or hardened oil finish, use Care System 1.
- If your floor has a natural oil or hardwax oil finish, use Care System 2.
- If your floor is white and has a lacquered or hardened oil finish, use Care System 3.
- If your floor is white and has a natural oil or hardwax oil finish, use Care System 4.
