{"product_id":"double-smoked-oak-solid-wood-flooring","title":"Double Smoked Oak 150mm Solid Plank","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble Smoked Oak is a dark, dramatic solid oak floor in wide 150mm planks. The oak is smoked to deepen its colour, then brushed and UV lacquered, giving an 18mm board with rich tone and a fine texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoking reacts with the natural tannins in oak and darkens the wood itself rather than just staining the surface, and the double smoked colour takes that further for a deep, moody tone. Brushing lifts the grain so it still shows through the dark colour, and the UV lacquer gives a protective, easy-care surface. The wide boards and random lengths keep the floor calm despite its depth of colour. It looks its best with plenty of light: white or soft grey walls, brass fittings and pale upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 18mm, this is a substantial solid oak floor. Every plank is real oak all the way through, which is the key difference from engineered flooring: when the surface eventually shows wear, it can be sanded and refinished again, and more times than an engineered board allows. The planks measure 150mm across in random lengths, and a pack covers 1.44 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a floor for the main living spaces: lounges, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways and conservatories, plus stairs with a matching \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e.
