Oak Flooring

Oak is an extremely versatile wood type - a medium density hardwood, with strength, character and durability surpasses many other timber species. Oak starts soft and malleable, but once dry becomes hard and durable. Whether aged by the weather or preserved with a suitable stain or varnish, the beauty of Oak is undeniable. Its distinctive look exudes quality, and its rich colouring and attractive woodgrain deliver an elegant texture. Its rustic look is able to add instant charm and character to any application, whether situated internally or externally.

Natural Oiled Finish

Oil based finishes seal timber by soaking into the wooden surface and therefore tend to provide a more natural feel and look of the timber. Quite often wooden floors are sealed with oil after going through a "brushing" process, which  embosses the texture of the wooden surface. Floors with such finish are referred to as "Brushed & Oiled".

This type of finish is less durable compared to the lacquer, but allows recoating of your wooden floors. This can have some benefits in terms of maintenance, as recoating can delay the complete renovation of the floors, which uses the process of sanding and reduces the wearable thickness of the wooden floors.

The oil-based finishes however are slow-drying (6-10 hours per coat) and it may be difficult in terms of planning and furniture to apply a new top coat in a busy household. In fact, due to this inconvenience many household tend to delay recoating of oiled floors and end up renovating their floors too early.

Rustic Character

This flooring product is available in Rustic grade - selection of the timber which allows various sizes of knotts and colour variation between the planks. Rustic grade flooring can add more character and natural feeling to environment.

Installation

Due to their price range and variety of colours and finishes the 14 mm wood flooring range is the most popular. They are easy to install too and ideal for floating installations over concrete or timber subfloors. The click system flooring is safest choice for underfloor heating systems (UFH) and does not require use of any glue.

When click system planks join together they create their own plain and level, which when floated over uneven subfloor may cause bouncing. Therefore some subfloor prep may be required prior to considering a click system plank, if there is any concern with level. Failing to address these may cause as well sqeaky noise, coming from the click system after the installation.

Maintenance of Oiled Floors

Oiled floors infuse environment with a natural feeling, but do require tender care. Cleaning the floors regularly with an appropriate cleaner or topping up with maintence oil, helps prolong the life of your oiled floors. Our recommendation for cleaning oiled floors goes for Bona Spray Mop for Oiled Floors.
