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.

Durable Lacquered Finish

A lacquered finish seals the wood beneath a clear, hard-wearing layer, making it one of the most practical choices for a real wood floor. Spills, dirt and moisture stay on the surface instead of soaking into the timber, so they can simply be wiped away before they leave a mark, and the floor stands up well to everyday foot traffic.

Lacquered floors are also among the easiest to look after. There is no regular re-oiling to plan for: sweeping or vacuuming, with an occasional damp mop using a cleaner made for lacquered floors, keeps them looking their best. The smooth, sealed surface doesn't hold on to dust either, making it ideal for kitchens, hallways, busy family homes and allergy sufferers.

Factory-applied lacquers are built up in several coats and cured for extra hardness, giving long-lasting protection in everyday use. Modern water-based lacquers are non-yellowing, so the floor keeps an even colour and sheen for years, with finishes from natural-looking extra matt to classic gloss to suit any interior. It is a finish that keeps your floor looking beautiful while adding lasting value to your home.

Rustic Character

Timberlay Solid Oak Wood Flooring, Golden, Handscraped, Lacquered, 125x18 Mm is available in Rustic grade, a timber selection that allows knots of any size and natural colour variation between planks. Knots and small cracks are usually filled during manufacture, leaving a smooth, practical surface with plenty of character.

Rustic grade flooring adds warmth and authenticity to any space and suits country, industrial and Scandinavian styles alike. Its lively, varied surface also helps disguise everyday wear, dust and light scratches, which makes it a great choice for busy family homes, hallways and kitchens.

Because more of each log can be used, Rustic grade is often the best-value option in a collection. Grade describes appearance, not durability. Browse all Rustic grade flooring, or compare with the more even Natural grade.

Installation

Solid wood flooring requires a tight bond to the subfloor to limit any seasional movement and therefore is laid with glue-down installation in the case of plywood, chipboard and concrete subfloors, or nail-down (secret nailing) in the case of plywood or floorboards. Damp proofing course is highly recommended for concrete / screeded subfloors.

Maintenance

Lacquered wood floors are easy to look after. Vacuum with a hard-floor head or sweep regularly to remove grit, which can scratch the surface. Every so often, clean with a pH-neutral, lacquer-friendly cleaner that leaves no moisture or residue. For everyday cleaning we recommend the Bona Spray Mop with Bona Cleaner refills, available in our cleaning & maintenance range.

Avoid steam cleaners, wet mops, wax or oil-based polishes, which can damage the finish or make it slippery. Wipe up spills promptly, fit felt pads under furniture and use doormats at entrances to keep the floor looking new for longer.

When a busy area starts to look dull or worn, and the lacquer hasn't worn through to bare wood, it can be lightly abraded and given a fresh coat of floor lacquer without a full sanding.
