    Timber Floor Borders & Inlays

    Premium timber floor borders and decorative inlays are the finishing touches that transform an ordinary floor into a truly bespoke feature.

    At Alvanley Flooring, we design and install custom timber borders, feature strips and decorative inlays that add character, definition and luxury to your flooring.

    Whether you're creating a traditional heritage look or a modern architectural statement, every design is carefully planned and precision installed to achieve a flawless finish.


    What Are Timber Floor Borders & Inlays?

    Timber floor borders are decorative frames installed around the perimeter of a room, while timber inlays are feature pieces incorporated into the floor itself.

    These design elements create contrast, highlight architectural features and give your flooring a truly custom appearance.

    Borders and inlays can be simple and elegant or highly detailed depending on the style of your home.

    Every project is individually designed to complement your flooring, furniture and interior finishes.


    Types of Timber Floor Borders

    We create a wide range of custom timber border designs including:

    Single feature borders
    Double feature borders
    Contrasting timber borders
    Picture frame borders
    Herringbone borders
    Parquet borders
    Chevron borders
    Custom feature strips

    Each border is carefully measured and manufactured to suit the exact dimensions of your room.


    Decorative Timber Inlays

    Decorative timber inlays add individuality and craftsmanship that simply cannot be achieved with standard flooring installations.

    Popular options include:

    Feature panels
    Geometric designs
    Medallions
    Entrance features
    Hallway designs
    Custom timber patterns
    Bespoke centrepieces

    Every inlay is individually designed and professionally installed for a seamless finish.


    Custom Designs

    No two homes are the same.

    That's why every border and inlay is custom designed to suit your flooring style, room layout and personal taste.

    Whether you're after a subtle feature or a bold statement piece, we'll help create a design that enhances your home without overpowering the space.

    Our attention to detail ensures clean lines, perfect joins and exceptional craftsmanship throughout.
