What colour will the floor be when its sanded?
Old pine floorboards have a nice glow to them sometimes they are a reddish brown, sometimes a rich warm brown to a yellowish brown, you cant tell until you start sanding, the colour depends on the climate the tree grew in before it was felled, how much light the wood has seen once laid in the house etc. Block or strip floors are usually oak, beech, ash, maple, cedar, or dark hardwoods mixed to gether and laid in herringbone patterns or in the case of strips length ways.Again look at the gallery to get a better idea.If you have a particular colour in mind I can stain the floor to match your ideas.
