Smoky Brushed Lacquered Oak 125mm Engineered Plank

Smoky Brushed Lacquered Oak is a narrow-board engineered floor in a dark, smoky brown, from our Nevada range. Its 125mm planks come in random lengths, brushed for texture and sealed with lacquer.

Look and character

The colour is a deep brown with a hazy, smoked quality, darker than natural oak but softer than a double-smoked board. Brushing brings the grain to the surface, and the lacquer gives a smooth coat with a soft sheen that makes the smoky tones glow. Classic grade oak keeps knots modest. Narrow boards laid in random lengths create a traditional pattern that stops the dark colour feeling heavy, making it a good fit for Victorian and Edwardian homes, studies and dining rooms.

Construction and specification

It comes 125mm wide in mixed lengths, packed to cover 1.8 m² per pack. This is a 14/3mm engineered board: 14mm from face to underside, of which the upper 3mm is real oak. Beneath it sits a multi-ply base of cross-laid layers, which resists the swelling and shrinking that solid boards can suffer as heating and humidity change. Lacquer sits on the surface as a protective film, which makes it an easy floor to keep clean day to day. A small bevel on all four edges (4V) outlines every board, so the planks read individually and minor height differences are hidden.

Where it works

Use it through the main rooms of the house: living room, dining room, hallway and bedrooms, plus kitchens and conservatories. Carrying the floor up the staircase is possible; use stair nosing to finish the tread edges neatly.

Fitting and underfloor heating

Fitting is tongue and groove, either as a floating floor over a good underlay or fully glued to the subfloor. It can be laid over underfloor heating; more choices are in our underfloor heating flooring collection. Floating floors need the right underlay, and our flooring underlay range covers the common subfloors. Add about 10% to your room size for cuts and waste.
