Pine Floor
At Sekelskifte, you’ll find period-style pine flooring made from northern Swedish pine. For us, quality is essential — that’s why we only sell genuine solid wood floors. Our pine boards are dried down to 8–9% moisture content, allowing for direct installation with minimal risk of warping. This level of drying also makes them suitable for underfloor heating. Our solid pine floors feature side tongue-and-groove joints, though not always end-matched. We offer pine flooring in various lengths and thicknesses — don’t hesitate to contact us if you need assistance!

The history of floor planks
From the late 19thcentury floor planks are sawed and planed by machines and the width of the floor boards is normally of the same size for a whole floor. From this time narrower floor planks were used, often between 100-140 mm. The floors were attached with concealed slant nailing in the tongue. In the lavish buildings they often put long floor plankswithout end joints and framed the room with a slightly wider frame. Also common during this time was to have the wood floors as a subfloor to a linoleum carpet, which became popular from the late 1800s. This meant that the floorboards became even narrower (about 80 mm) and also that the boards were length-jointed. Pine floors contained twig and marrow elements, resulting in floors with character and life.
