{"product_id":"cotton-invisible-oak-chevron-engineered-wood-flooring","title":"Cotton Invisible Oak 90mm Engineered Chevron","description":"\u003cp\u003eCotton Invisible Oak is a pale chevron floor with the soft, untreated look of bare oak but the protection of a sealed surface. Its 90mm boards meet in continuous V-shaped rows, and each has a 3mm real oak top layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is light and natural rather than white, with visible grain and occasional darker knots. The invisible matt lacquer keeps sheen and colour change to a minimum, so the oak looks close to raw while still being finished. Classic grade means some variation between boards, which gives the rows of Vs depth without looking busy. It pairs naturally with white units, black-framed glazing and timber furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 14\/3mm figures describe two parts of the same board: 14mm 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. The 90 x 510mm boards are cut at an angle at each end, so rows of chevrons run across the room like clean arrows. A 4V bevel puts a small chamfer on all four edges, so every board is outlined and the pattern reads crisply. One pack lays 1.836 m².\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. If you are continuing up the stairs, choose matching \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e for the tread edges. The V pattern works well running through open-plan kitchens and dining rooms, linking the spaces. Kitchens are fine as long as spills are wiped up, because real oak is not waterproof.
