Weathered White Distressed Oak 220mm Engineered Plank

Weathered White Distressed Oak gives a pale, whitewashed floor an aged, distressed surface. Wide 220mm New York planks, 2200mm long, are finished with hardwax oil over a 4mm real oak top layer.

Look and character

The colour is a soft, weathered white with a hint of smoke, like limewashed boards in an old farmhouse. Distressing adds knocks and worn edges, and the white finish gathers in the texture so the grain and marks stand out gently. The hardwax oil gives a matt, natural feel rather than a painted coat. Pale and textured at once, it brightens a room while still feeling relaxed and characterful, which suits coastal homes, country kitchens and Scandinavian or vintage schemes.

Construction and specification

A 15/4mm build means 15mm in total, with 4mm of real oak forming the surface you walk on. Under the face is a cross-bonded multi-ply core, which is what lets an engineered plank cope with central heating better than a solid board of the same size. Boards are 2200mm long and 220mm wide, with 2.904 m² in every pack. All four edges carry a 4V bevel, which gives each plank a crisp outline across the room. Hardwax oil protects from within the wood rather than as a film on top, and worn areas can be re-oiled locally.

Where it works

A light floor like this keeps rooms feeling open and airy, especially with white or soft grey walls. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways, and it can also be used in kitchens and conservatories. It can go up the stairs as well, finished with matching stair nosing on each tread.

Fitting and underfloor heating

The boards join with a tongue and groove and can be laid floating over underlay or glued down to a prepared subfloor. It can be laid over underfloor heating; more choices are in our underfloor heating flooring collection. Order about 10% more than the floor area to cover cuts and waste. Finish the room edges with scotia beading to cover the expansion gap.
