Product Description
FAS Sapele Flooring
Sapele is perfect for a dark, rich coloured, solid floor with a wide accentuated grain.
All iWood
Timber Merchants' Sapele unfinished flooring is long-edge tongue and groove.
A top advantage of unfinished flooring is that once sealed, you have a barrier across the whole floor without gaps between each piece, giving a much improved lifespan.
Please note that it is usual to sand the boards once they have been laid, and before they’re treated, to ensure an even and flat surface across your floor.
We also provide Sapele
wood sawn to size.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Lead times
Our timber is imported straight from sawmills on the continent. Our usual lead times are therefore 14-17 working days.
Delivery costs
Delivery cost varies by location. Please click here to open our delivery cost page in a new window.
Delivery day
Our delivery lorries visit different parts of the country on different days, so once your order is ready we will work with you to arrange a delivery day for when one of our lorries is in your area. We will always arrange the delivery day in advance with you.
Delivery times
We deliver weekdays Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 5pm. Our delivery vehicles will have multiple jobs on them which can affect the delivery time to you, depending on factors such as traffic and how long it takes to offload the previous jobs. The driver will call you in advance with an estimated time of arrival to make sure you'll be there.
Offloading
Aside from delivery locations that are priced on application, your delivery will be provided with means of offloading from the truck. This may be by HIAB (lorry with a crane arm), or by supplied manpower. The method will be determined by the haulage company we use based on your location and available options at the time. Please note, both offload options will drop your order to the side of the lorry, they won't be able to carry it around the back of a property, for example.
For areas that are priced on application, by default, we will quote for delivery on a flat-bed lorry that you'll need to arrange to offload yourself. We can quote for offloading on request, but to these areas it's usually prohibitively expensive, and cheaper for you to hire a forklift, or arrange to have enough people on-site to offload.
Moisture content
Our unfinished flooring is kiln dried to an average moisture content of 10%.
