Its brushed and oiled surface keeps the natural colour of the oak on show, giving a warm, textured floor that suits both period and modern homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is oak in its natural mid tone: warm, honest and easy to live with. Brushing takes away the softer wood between the grain lines, so the texture stands out to the touch and the eye, and the oil finish soaks in to protect the timber while keeping a matt, natural look. Classic grade boards show a mix of grain and some knots, adding interest without looking rustic. The 125mm width is a good middle ground: wider than a traditional strip floor but still in proportion in smaller rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural Brushed \u0026amp; Oiled Oak is 18mm of solid oak from top to bottom, with no plywood or fibreboard core. That matters over the long run: because the oak goes all the way through, the floor can be sanded back and refinished many more times than an engineered board, so it can be refreshed as it ages. The planks are 125mm wide in random lengths, and each pack covers 1.2 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHallways, dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms and conservatories are the natural home for Natural Brushed \u0026amp; Oiled Oak.
