{"product_id":"brushed-antique-oak-hand-scraped-engineered-wood-flooring","title":"Brushed Antique Oak Hand Scraped 180mm Engineered Plank","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrushed Antique Oak Hand Scraped is a heavyweight engineered plank from our Nature range, with a 6mm real oak top layer on a 20mm board. Its dark antique-brown face is hand scraped and brushed, then hardwax oiled, for a floor that looks and feels hand-finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand scraping leaves shallow, uneven dips across each board, so low light rakes across the floor the way it does over old boards in a country house. Brushing adds a second layer of texture by lifting the softer grain. The antique brown colour is deep and warm, and the hardwax oil gives it a natural matt feel with just a little lustre. It is a Classic grade oak, so the character comes mostly from the surface work rather than big knots. At 180mm wide it has a traditional board proportion that suits period properties, barn conversions and rooms with heavy timber furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach pack holds 1.674 m² of 180mm wide planks, 1860mm in length. The board is 20mm thick overall, and the top 6mm is real oak. Beneath it sits a multi-ply base of cross-laid layers, which resists the swelling and shrinking that solid boards can suffer as heating and humidity change. Hardwax oil protects from within the wood rather than as a film on top, and worn areas can be re-oiled locally. With a bevel on the long edges only (2V), the floor has clear lengthwise lines and quieter end joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it through the main rooms of the house: living room, dining room, hallway and bedrooms, plus kitchens and conservatories. The same boards can continue onto the stairs, with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e to finish each step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and underfloor heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can glue it down or lay it floating; the tongue and groove edges join each board to the next. Finish the room edges with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotia-beading\"\u003escotia beading\u003c\/a\u003e to cover the expansion gap. It is suitable for underfloor heating. When you work out quantities, add around 10% for offcuts and waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy order a large free sample\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can have 3 large free samples.
