Oak Board Natural Unsealed Natural 20x180mm: the versatile nature of Oak means this floor is perfect for all kinds of design scheme. From more traditional, natural looking styles to more contemporary, coloured finishes, Oak can be tailored to your preference.

Engineered wood floors are suitable for laying over under floor heating and in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and any other room in the house because of their greater stability and lower moisture level in the wood.

The ply backing of an engineered floor with a hardwood veneer glued on top gives our engineered floors the same beautiful appearance of a solid wood floor but with more efficient use of precious hardwood.

The distinctive knots of our natural Oak give this floor a charming character that will bring a truly unique look to a home.

Unsealed products can be used to introduce a particular shade into a design scheme and are also ideal for colour-matching with an existing look.

With an engineered floor, you get the same look and feel of a traditional solid wood floor but with the added benefits of more efficient use of precious materials, superior construction, and compatibility with under floor heating.

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.
