{"product_id":"desert-oak-laminate-flooring","title":"Desert Oak 12mm Laminate","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesert Oak in a straight plank is a rustic-toned, medium brown laminate with the subtle knots, markings and streaks of characterful timber. The 196mm wide boards give a relaxed, natural floor that hides everyday wear well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a medium brown oak with natural variation, and small knots and streaks appear across the boards to give a more authentic, less uniform look. That rustic detail is what stops the floor looking like a flat print, and it helps disguise crumbs and marks between cleans. The textured and embossed surface adds a subtle grain you can feel underfoot. It works well in farmhouse-style kitchens, family living rooms and hallways, with cream walls, painted cabinets and warm wood furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12mm build has real body to it, so the floor feels steady when you walk across it and sounds less hollow once laid over a good underlay. An AC4 wear rating tells you the surface is made for high-traffic domestic areas as well as general commercial use. A 4V bevel runs along all four edges of every plank, giving each one a defined outline, as a wooden floor would have. The planks measure 196mm by 1215mm, long enough to run cleanly through a room with few joints. One pack covers 1.43 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis floor suits kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, conservatories, dining rooms, hallways and bathrooms. For kitchens, a quick wipe after spills keeps the joints in good order. Taking it up the stairs?
