This beautiful white oak is 20mm thick and pre-finished in a UV matt lacquer to give a more natural look and feel. It has a Character/Rustic grade which means that it has a medium colour variation and beautiful large knots. The planks are 189mm wide, tongue & groove and come in fixed lengths. This floor has a brushed surface which gives the floor a textured, authentic rustic look and feel. Engineered flooring is the perfect combination of practicality and authenticity. Constructed in layers, generally made from birch plywood, engineered flooring has a top layer veneer made from solid wood. It's these layers underneath which provide engineered flooring with a greater structural stability than solid wood floors. This means that it's not as prone to shrinking or warping with changes in environmental conditions. Due to this stability, it is possible for engineered floors to be installed using any fitting method, including nail, glue down and float. The solid wood veneer generally ranges from 3-6mm in thickness and is suitable for sanding. Sanding can remove between 0.5 to 1mm of wood per sanding. A thicker wear layer means your floor can be sanded and refinished more often, increasing the lifespan of the floor.
