Benefits of Raw Oak Engineered Wood Flooring

Unfinished oak flooring gives you more control over the final appearance. Depending on the product and manufacturer's guidance, it may be possible to apply a suitable stain, oil or lacquer to achieve your preferred colour and finish. This flexibility can help you coordinate the floor with furniture, wall colours and other interior features. Always confirm the recommended finishing process before purchasing, as the Heritage options in this collection are already brushed and wax oiled.

Engineered oak flooring combines a real wood wear layer with a layered core designed to improve dimensional stability. The products listed here have a 14mm overall thickness and a 3mm wear layer. Installation requirements differ between click systems and finishes, so follow the product instructions carefully. If you plan to use underfloor heating, check compatibility with the specific product and heating system before installation.
