Oiled Solid Wood Flooring

Why Choose Oiled Solid Wood Flooring?

Unlike the lacquered option, in which the finish sits on top of the wood and creates an extra layer between your feet and the floor, an oiled finish seeps into the wood. This leaves every board of flooring showing its charming natural texture, making it an ideal solution for those who want to bolster the authenticity of their family cottage, or give the office a cosy, homely feel. The look and feel of oiled solid wood flooring is exquisitely rustic and unaffected. No matter what type of wood you choose, however it’s been cut, or what kind of grain it has, an oiled finish will let its natural beauty shine through.

Repairs to oiled solid wood flooring can be more frequent than with a lacquered finish, but they are also less labour-intensive. If the oil finish begins to wear away, you can simply recoat it, with no sanding required.

What are the Alternatives to Oiled Solid Wood Flooring?

Brushed and Oiled is another finish to consider if you want your wood flooring to look even more rustic. Alternatively, you could consider an unfinished floor, and then oil it yourself when you’re ready to.
