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

An oiled finish soaks into the wood and protects it from within, giving the timber a natural, matt look and feel that brings out the warmth and grain of the wood. Floors are often brushed before oiling to emphasise the texture, a finish known as "Brushed & Oiled". Factory-applied UV oils and hardwax oils add extra resistance from day one.

Oil is less hard-wearing than lacquer, but it can be topped up and spot-repaired without sanding the whole floor. Regular maintenance with a compatible oil or hardwax oil can delay a full renovation and preserve the wear layer of your floor.

Traditional oils can take 6–10 hours to dry per coat, so plan re-oiling around a quiet period at home. Putting it off too long can mean an earlier full sanding. Browse all oiled wood flooring.

Rustic Character

Timberlay Solid Oak Wood Flooring, Golden, Handscraped, Oiled, 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 of Oiled Floors

Oiled floors bring a warm, natural feel to any room, but they need a little more regular care than lacquered floors. Sweep or vacuum regularly, then clean with a soap-based cleaner made for oiled floors, which nourishes the wood as it cleans. We recommend the Bona Spray Mop for Oiled Floors, available in our cleaning & maintenance range.

Depending on foot traffic, top up the finish with a maintenance oil typically every 1–2 years, and more often in busy areas such as hallways and kitchens. Regular re-oiling keeps the wood protected and can put off a full sanding, which preserves the wear layer of your floor.

A big advantage of an oiled finish is that light scratches and worn patches can be spot-repaired without treating the whole floor. Find compatible products in our oil & hardwax-oil range.
