Oak Board Natural Oiled Clear 15x125mm

Oak Board Natural Oiled Clear 15x125mm: The engineered overlay wood flooring meets modern requirements and keeps a traditional wood flooring appearance. The distinctive knots of our natural Oak give this floor a charming character that will bring a truly unique look to a home. The multiple layers of plywood backing give support to the visible top layer of the precious hardwood, resulting in a floor that looks and feels like a solid wood floor but that is suitable for under floor heating and can still be sanded and re-finished after years of use. An overlay floor must be laid over an existing subfloor.

Traditional boards are about 125 mm wide, so any floor of this width will suit the proportions of older properties, especially those from the Victorian era. Narrow boards can be used effectively in all rooms and look particularly stunning in open warehouse style apartments and rooms with high ceilings.

The warm and rich tone of the wood is emphasised by the finish, which has no added colouring. Clear Oil accentuates the natural characteristics of the species, letting the golden honeyed tones come through.

The engineered board has been produced using a Russian WBP birch ply, manufactured to European standard EN 326-2. The adhesive used to bond the board is an E1 category, PUR adhesive (formaldehyde free) to DIN/EN 14257 and DIN/EN 204 low emission glue which is heat and water resistant in accordance with BS EN 14342:2005+A1. The top layer is kiln dried to between 8-12% moisture content.

The formaldehyde emissions are: 0,01 ppm, pentachlorophenol emissions: <0.8 mg/kg.

Thermal conductivity (W/mK) is 0,10W/mK.

Suitable for secret fixing to ply, battens or joist subfloor, floating on an underlay or a fully bonded installation to a screed subfloor. The unsealed board is supplied with a micro bevel along the length of the board, pre- sanded requiring only a light 100/120 grit sand to finish.

Compatible for use in conjunction with underfloor heating the board complies with BS 8201:2011, rated in accordance with BS EN 13501-1, and is classified D fl -S1 when laid as a fixed floor on a structural subfloor or E fl- S1 when laid on battens or joists for minimal smoke production.
