Hip
The Victorian period saw less availability of Elm, Pine floorboards then came into ascendency – often hidden by rugs and carpets or painted to appear as prestigious hardwoods instead.
How ironic then, that by reclaiming and meticulously restoring these solid Victorian-painted pine floorboards with their distressed paint finish, we turned yesteryear’s faux-stylish, flooring into today’s on-trend interior design medium.
These mid-tone planks, all of which add intrigue by being slightly different, contain some of the most interesting features Pine has to offer. Savour the vestigial blackened nail holes, distressed paintwork, and authentic wear and tear bestowed by so many generations.
Naturally, every engaging original detail remains visible on each worn-and-restored Victorian pine floorboard with its skillfully engineered jointing.
Honest, solid, and genuine reclaimed, these planks are supplied at random lengths, which creates quite the statement when installed on walls, ceilings and even floors – being perfectly adaptable to all three, thanks to a thickness of up to 18mm.
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.
