French Timber Direct was established in 1987 following the ‘great gales’ of that year when both the south of England and northern France lost thousands of trees, most of these being oak. The French government instantly moved into action and established a group of people who could do something with the fallen timber. That is how our firm began. The first task was to get the timber from the forest and into yards where it could be managed. Our first yard was set up near Boulogne and we now have three mills. We are proud to say that we are a major contributor to the sustainable management programme for oak forests throughout France, Germany and Belgium.

French Timber Direct - from forest to you

Our wood flooring is of the highest quality available. We pride ourselves on the fact that our solid wood flooring and bonded (engineered) flooring has gone through the process of what we call from forest to you. Our solid oak flooring has proven to be extremely popular, not least because the oak floors we supply are of superior quality and affordable!
