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.

Brushed Surface

Wooden floors with brushed finish have a more prominent texture of the timber surface. During the manufacturing process and before the application of the sealant the flooring planks go through a process, which will emboss the grain of the wooden timber and adding more appealing to the touch, natural feeling to the floors.
