{"product_id":"brushed-invisible-light-oak-versailles-panel-engineered-wood-flooring","title":"Brushed Invisible Light Oak Engineered Versailles Panel","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrushed Invisible Light Oak takes the Versailles pattern, one of the grandest parquet designs, and gives it a light, understated colour. Each panel is a large square of engineered oak, 20mm thick with a 4mm real oak top layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tone is light and natural, close to the colour of untreated oak, with the grain lifted by brushing so the texture is easy to see. A matt lacquered finish seals the surface with a low sheen, which keeps the pale colour quiet rather than shiny. Classic grade gives some knots and colour movement across the panels. The effect is a pattern-rich floor that still feels calm, which makes it easier to live with in a modern room than a dark Versailles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel is 20mm thick overall, with a 4mm real oak top layer bonded to a multi-ply base. A multi-ply base gives a more stable floor than solid oak of the same look, and that matters in a pattern where every joint is on show. A 4mm top layer leaves a good depth of oak for sanding and refinishing later on. Laid as 800 x 800mm squares, the panels build up the framed, criss-cross Versailles pattern long associated with grand period rooms. The 4V bevelled edges give each panel a fine shadow line on all four sides. One pack lays 2.56 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can lay it in hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, conservatories and kitchens. In a kitchen, mop up spills promptly, as real oak is not waterproof. Versailles panels make a strong centrepiece in a living or dining room, where the pattern can be seen as a whole.
