Oak Board Natural Oiled Drift Wood 20x160mm

Drift Wood Oiled Oak is a distinctive floor which celebrates the natural beauty of wood with on-trend grey tones. Unlike a painted floor, the detailing of oak is there for all to see and admire. The natural simple beauty of the oak is enhanced not smothered. This design of this floor features muted, smoky hues, with the added drama of dark grey which is used to pick up the timber’s unique markings and characterful patterns. These details help to bring the floor to life by adding depth and texture to the surface.

Oil finishes penetrate into the wood to protect the timber and in doing so, enhance the grain. This adds depth to the wood’s natural appearance in the process.

Oak is a versatile species that takes pigments very well, so it lends itself well to pre-sealed flooring. The physical characteristics that give Oak its charm are still visible through the finish, so this floor has a naturally charming character and can be matched with the desired design scheme.

Our engineered wood flooring meets modern requirements and keeps a traditional wood flooring appearance. 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, can be laid over almost all types of sub floor, and can still be sanded and re-finished after years of use.
