EDGE DETAIL

TEXTURE

Some produce a clear distinction between block-to-block, with others seamlessly fitting together with no join visible, depending on the overall look you are wanting to achieve.

The best way to begin understanding what edge detail you require is to think about the age of the project you are creating. Micro bevel and square shoulder floors tend to lend themselves best to modern and contemporary spaces, whilst handrolled edges are a more traditional edge detail which are more commonly associated with classic and period projects.

On some samples, the edge detail will not be present, or can be difficult to distinguish from one floor to another, so it is important to understand how they all differ.

Here you will find all of our edge details available within the Woodworks portfolio.

HAND-ROLLED EDGES

Taking time and patience to develop a hand-rolled edge gives a careful pillowed effect to edges, allowing elements to roll smoothly into one another.

This is the most natural-looking edge detail and offers more movement across the entire floor. The look is created using a traditional metal roller and takes much more time and effort to develop when compared with other edge details.

Micro Bevel

A sharp edge is applied to a board or block to create a deeper groove when fitted together, granting a greater definition to the detail.

By bevelling the edge each element stands out with distinctive lines separating your design. This look is often associated with modern and contemporary projects.

Square Shoulder

Less defined looking joins whereby the edges meet perfectly and form a single-looking homogeneous unit across your entire surface.

This look is most commonly seen in parquetry whereby sanding the floor and finishing on-site leaves an incredibly smooth surface.

Bespoke

Other edge details are available with Woodworks, such as hand-sanded and distressed edges – in order to learn more about these options, please get in touch with our expert team via hello@woodworks1988.com.
