No one does texture and pattern quite like Mother Nature, and no floor quite shows Mother Nature’s hand like Shell. Made of natural oak with just enough white stain to cancel any honey tones, this floor’s color and texture are reminiscent of one of the sun-bleached treasures to be found washed ashore on the coasts of Scandinavia. An oiled, hand-scraped finish means this floor has the same ultra-matte and raw texture of a sand dollar, but with heavy brushing so the wood, its grain, and the tree’s original knots shine through. The result is a modern floor that keeps the quiet, organic feel of a morning walk through the trees.

No random lengths, ever. Each plank is 7 ⅜” wide and 95 ¼" long. Enjoy the look of long, full-length boards throughout your home.

*THIS IS AN OILED FLOOR and needs to be oiled with Satin Oil immediately after installation.

Shell has so much character in the grain and texture while still feeling clean and modern; the flooring is my favorite element in our home.

Beautiful oil finish

Common throughout Europe, Shell's oil finish allows the full texture and beauty of wood to take center stage. It provides a wonderfully organic feel underfoot while aging beautifully. In high-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways, annual re-oiling is required.

European white oak

Naturally beautiful, white oak’s understated elegance makes it a designer favorite. It’s thick enough for two sandings, just in case you want to refinish it down the road. Known as the “king of oaks”, European white oak is prized for its steadfast lumber and magnificent form.

Clever locking system

Shell's secure locking system minimizes seasonal gapping. When locked together, the planks' connection is strong enough to hang a car from. It makes installation a breeze — and, dare we say, fun? This floor can be floated, stapled, or glued down.

Pine core

Fast-growing, sustainable, and porous pine strips that expand and contract individually, protecting the top layer of wood. Invented in 1941, this construction is the gold standard in Europe. It’s been performing for lifetimes, which is why we can offer a lifetime warranty.

Spruce backing

Laid opposite the middle layer of pine, it counteracts movement while absorbing moisture from below, the most common cause of damage to wood floors.

Shell FAQ's

It's fairly attribute heavy, meaning it will have varying sizes of knots throughout, some up to 3" in size, in addition to fully filled in cracks that are up to 8-9" in length on some boards. There is a wide range of wood graining in Shell which makes this such a breathtaking floor, allowing you to experience the full variety of a trees characteristics. Dark browns are present around the knots while creamy tans and lighter medullary rays occupy some planks.

Our clients like our oiled floors because the detailed texture of the wood can be experienced in a closer way than traditional top-coat finishes. You can really "feel" the wood which is sensory enhancing and very grounding. Plus they age gracefully over time like antique furniture. They quite possibly will look better 10 years from now than they do right out of the box. Scratches and dings can be spot-oiled to minimize their appearance.

Not really. It does need to be oiled immediately after installation with our Satin Oil, which is very, very easy to apply with the dust mop and pad provided in your Welcome Box. The oil is a protective layer against anything from above, like water and other liquids that can stain the wood. Think of it like protecting an old piece of furniture. Every year we recommend to re-oil high traffic areas, any areas that take a lot of wear and tear from above like kitchens or entryways. This re-oiling can be done area by area with the dust mop and pad. There is no need to remove all furniture and rugs, etc., since very little traffic is happening in those areas. When spot oiling annually, the area will dry in 6-8 hours and takes a full 24 hours to cure so if you oil before bed or prior to spending a weekend away, that's ideal.

Yes!

Absolutely! We do recommend re-oiling every year in a kitchen to ensure it's protected from stains from above.

Absolutely! This floor performs wonderfully in any area of the home except a full bath.

Applying Satin Oil can mitigate the visibility of any scratches. If that doesn't work, we recommend using oils by Rubio Monocoat for minor touch ups. The Rubio color we use is named Natural. Small sample bottles can be purchased at various websites if needed. Unfortunately, we do not sell their touch up oils at this time.

Yes, two times. The likelihood of you ever sanding/refinishing your floor is very low. The likelihood of you sanding your floor twice is essentially zero. The main reasons for sanding/refinishing your floors is if they've been heavily neglected and abused to the point of severe damage, or if you wish to change the color. But, sleep peacefully knowing that these floors will last a lifetime for you or the next owners of your space.

We don't consider this to be a high contrast floor. Boards can vary between light tan to muted brown. This adds an subtle organic movement to the floor which is quite calming.

Since it's such a long plank, yes, it's very likely that the carrier won't be capable of bringing the pallet onto the ground. We recommend having a few people there to assist in taking the cartons off of the truck and into your home. Generally speaking, our carriers will not hand-carry cartons into your house since they are only contracted for curbside delivery.

It's made in a carbon negative factory in southern Sweden, which collects and recycles all wood waste into biofuel.
