It is a slim engineered floor, 10mm thick, with a 3mm real oak top layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tone is dark natural oak, deep and warm without a heavy stained look. Rustic grade oak brings knots and grain variation, so the pattern feels characterful and handmade. Brushing adds texture, and the lacquer seals the surface for easy care. It gives a room a grounded, traditional feel that suits period homes and cosy living rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 10\/3mm figures describe two parts of the same block: 10mm is the full thickness, and 3mm of that is the real oak top layer you see and walk on. A 3mm oak layer can be lightly sanded and refinished by a professional if the surface ever needs refreshing. Engineering the board this way keeps it flatter and more stable than a solid block of the same size. Small 80 x 300mm blocks give a detailed pattern with lots of joints, which is what makes classic parquet look the way it does. With a 2V bevel on the long sides, the zigzag lines are defined but the floor still looks fairly flush. A pack covers 0.96 m² of floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens and conservatories, and it can be used on stairs too. It is not waterproof, so in kitchens wipe up spills quickly. In a hallway the zigzag leads you through the house; in a dining room it frames the table.
