barn. Similarly, the French Oak also fits with
the characteristic dark barn doors.
The E47 Amboise French Oak wood flooring
was specially cut and engineered to fit around
the original brick walls of Calverts Barn, and
was fitted by Inspired Solutions in Standish.
Deborah Grant & Neil Gibbons, the owners of
Calverts Barn, said: “The main aspect of this
build was to make sure that anything new
added to the project did not take anything
away from the rustic feel and original features
used throughout. The Amboise French Oak
wood flooring is the ideal colour and grain for
the rest of the property.”
The super rustic graded wood was chosen to
fit in with the barn’s exposed wooden ceiling
beams which run throughout the property. The
Oak itself has a natural dark finish, with a very
visible grain and beautiful knots which, again,
feature in the original beams in the
“I am really pleased with the quality of the
finish, everything has been cut to a very hard
and specific degree. The flooring now looks
like it was always part of the property because
it just fits in perfectly, both in a stylish way and
physically.”
With a large wood order to engineer to size
and fit 110m2, the job took a total of 4 days
for the Inspired Solutions Standish team to
complete.
Neil Hawkesworth from Inspired Solutions
Standish said: “I will only use the highest
quality of wood, which is why I go back to
James Latham time and time again because I
have confidence that the finished result will be
at its best. The E47 Amboise French Oak has a
hardwearing grain that not only fits with the
existing décor but has a wear trim of 6mm.”
James Latham’s Timber Sales Representative,
Carl Hulme, said: “We are really pleased that
Miss Grant & Mr Gibbons are very happy with
the finished result. The E47 Amboise French
Oak is the ideal match for the super rustic
décor that Calverts Barn needed. The wood
just adds to the already characteristic and
historic property, so I am delighted that the
E47 was chosen for this project.”
