190mm Distressed Antique Unfinished Engineered Oak Wood Flooring 20/6mm Thick

190mm Distressed Antique Unfinished Engineered Oak Wood Flooring - product code OD2117 - is 20mm thick with a 6mm wear layer which comes in fixed lengths of 1900mm. This product is unfinished allowing the end user to finish it to how they desire, over recent years self finishing has become more popular as there are many different oils and lacquers on market, which offer more precision to meet your individual requirements.

Each plank has a 4V Groove, bevelled edge giving each plank more definition individually. This floor can be sanded down up to 4 times however it shouldn't be necessary to do so for the first 15-20 years. The grade of this product is rustic, the most popular grade in the industry, meaning the planks have more knots and imperfections which help to give the product great character and warmth.

The OD2117 can be installed using one of three techniques. Option one, ‘floating floor’, is achieved by gluing the tongue and groove parts of the board and allow the floor as a whole to float, usually cushioned with use of an underlay. Option two would be to secret nail the tongue part of the plank into a wooden subfloor. Finally, option three would be to stick the timber directly onto the subfloor with use of flooring adhesive. Please see the full, downloadable installation guide in the installation tab above for more information.

Thanks to the way engineered flooring is constructed the material is incredibly hard wearing. This means that it is perfect for using in kitchens, where exposure to dirt is quite common. It is also compatible to be used with underfloor heating, something that is increasingly popular in most modern homes. Engineered wood flooring has the ability to withstand fluctuations in temperatures and can therefore also be used in rooms where a solid wood could not, such as conservatories or even basements.
