Wills & Ferguson Range

More Than Just Wood:

The founders of Wills & Ferguson, William and Fergus, were both natives of Devon, deeply rooted in the landscapes that surrounded them. They shared a passion for woodworking and a profound appreciation for the unique characteristics of the wood sourced from their beloved region.

As they embarked on their journey to create a brand that celebrated the landscapes of Devon and Cornwall, William and Fergus found inspiration in the rich history and natural beauty that surrounded them. They spent countless hours exploring the countryside, from the windswept cliffs of Cornwall’s coastline to the ancient forests of Dartmoor.

It was during one of these explorations that they knew what they wanted to achieve, so they started specialising in wide plank flooring adding finishes like band sawn affects and different oils to enhance the character by the weathered affect.

They carefully selected each oak plank, handcrafting them with meticulous attention to detail. As they worked, they drew inspiration from the landscapes that had shaped their lives, incorporating elements of the rugged coastline, verdant countryside, and wild moorlands into their designs.

When it came time to choose a name for their brand, William and Fergus wanted something that would pay homage to their roots in Devon and Cornwall. They settled on “Wills & Ferguson,” a combination of their names that represented not only their partnership but also their deep connection to the land that had inspired their creations.

As word spread about the exquisite craftsmanship and unique designs of Wills & Ferguson wood flooring, the brand quickly gained recognition not only in the South West but across the country and beyond. Each plank told a story of the landscapes that had given it life, from the swirling grain patterns reminiscent of the ocean waves to the warm, earthy tones that echoed the hues of the moorlands.

Over the years, Wills & Ferguson became synonymous with quality, beauty, and a deep respect for the natural world. Williams and Fergus’s passion for their craft never wavered, and they continued to draw inspiration from the landscapes of Devon and Cornwall with each new creation.

Today, Wills & Ferguson Fine Wood Flooring stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the South West of England, its name a tribute to the landscapes that inspired its founders and continue to inspire all who walk upon its floors.

Wide plank wood flooring delivers one of the most stunning looking floors, and it is ideally suited to the larger, free-flowing spaces so often seen in contemporary design. Imposing wide boards truly highlight a big space and create a real talking point of their own.

LENGTH SPECIFICATION

Our Wills & Ferguson engineered wood flooring has a Micro Bevel on the top surface long edges, whilst the ends are square. The board is manufactured using European Oak as the top layer with the superior multi-ply backing.
All boards come in packs with a good length specification ranging from about 1800-4500mm with some half boards.

Unlike most engineered boards with fixed nesting lengths of 1800mm our longer boards accentuate the space in larger rooms and make shorter rooms feel longer. Longer lengths also tend to have a high end, quality appearance.

This type of board is tongue and grooved all round and the 20/21mm thick planks allow for it to be used as a structural board where the joists can be at 400mm centres.

GRADING

Character grade will include knots which are filled and sanded. There will be some colour variation among the boards giving a more traditional look.

Prime grades are a clean grade with less knots, smaller knots and less colour variation between the boards.

SUSTAINABILITY

All boards are manufactured using sustainable sources which means that the worlds natural resources are not being pillaged for your floor.
