Wide Plank Wood Flooring: Fewer Gaps

A close-up of a wide-plank solid wood floor. Each plank is over twenty centimeters wide and very long, so there are very few seams across the entire floor, and large continuous wood grain patterns become the main visual content. The wood is white oak, treated with smoking or fuming to deepen its color to a warm medium brown, with clear but not overpowering grain; the surface is only oiled and waxed, presenting a matte semi-gloss, allowing the natural knots and subtle color variations of the wood to be seen. The planks are seamlessly butt-jointed, without V-groove bevels. The junction between the baseboard and the floor is tight. The flooring is laid along the long axis of the room. Avoid: using narrow planks with dense seams, creating deep V-groove bevels, using high-gloss finishes, staining the wood color too dark or too light.

一片寬板實木地板的近景。每一塊板的寬度超過二十公分,長度很長,因此整個地面的接縫數量很少,大片連續的木紋成為主要的視覺內容。木料是白橡木,經過煙燻或鹼化處理讓顏色加深成溫暖的中褐,紋理清楚但不搶眼;表面只上油蠟,呈現霧面的半光,可以看見木材的天然節疤與細微的色差。板與板之間是無縫的平接,不做導角的 V 形溝。踢腳板與地板的交界緊密。地板的鋪設方向沿著房間的長軸。避免:使用窄板與密集的接縫、做出深的 V 形導角溝、使用高光的漆面、把木色染成過深或過淺。
