{"product_id":"smoked-oak-laminate-flooring","title":"Smoked Oak 12mm Laminate","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmoked Oak in a straight plank is a dark, rustic-toned laminate with the depth of a smoked timber floor. Knots, markings and streaks give the 196mm boards plenty of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a deep smoked brown, and rustic detail runs through each board, with darker streaks, the odd knot and varied grain. That natural irregularity stops a dark floor from looking flat and gives it an aged, lived-in quality. The textured and embossed finish adds a grain underfoot, and the bevelled edges frame every plank. Pair it with light walls to let the floor stand out, and with leather, brass and warm lighting for a cosy, characterful room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing 12mm thick, each plank gives a reassuring, solid step and a calmer sound underfoot compared with thinner laminate. Plank size is 196mm wide by 1215mm long, which keeps the layout calm and uncluttered. One pack covers 1.43 m². All four edges carry a small 4V bevel, which outlines each plank and adds depth to the floor. With an AC4 rating, the wear layer is rated for the busiest rooms in a home and for general commercial footfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good fit for living rooms, hallways, conservatories, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms. In hallways, a doormat at the entrance catches grit before it reaches the floor. It can also be used on stairs with suitable \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e to finish each step safely.

Lay it over a suitable \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flooring-underlay\"\u003eflooring underlay\u003c\/a\u003e, which smooths out small bumps and softens footfall noise. Remember to add around 10% to the measured area to cover cuts and waste. It is suitable for underfloor heating. Finish the edges of the room with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotia-beading\"\u003escotia beading\u003c\/a\u003e to cover the expansion gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy order a large free sample\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best way to judge Smoked Oak is in your own home, next to your skirting, doors and furniture.
