This lacquered, engineered oak product has been pre-finished with seven layers of pearl satin lacquer giving it ample protection while maintaining the timber’s knots and natural imperfections beneath the shiny surface. As this engineered oak product has been finished with Osmo’s pearl satin lacquer, you are able to sand down and re-finish localised areas that give the floor a new lease of life. Each plank has a width of 190mm (19cm) and a length of 1900mm (190cm) making product Studley Spring Oak 190 x 14/3mm a fixed length product (FL). A plank width of 190mm is considered a fairly wide plank width – ideal for open plan spaces and/or larger rooms within your household. 190mm Pearl Satin Lacquered Engineered European Oak Wood Flooring 14/3mm Thick hasan overall thickness of 14mm with a 3mm wear layer (real oak). This floor can be sanded down up to 4 times in total, however this shouldn't be necessary for the first 15-20 years or so. Multi-ply backed engineered flooring is extremely resilient to temperature and humidity changes, which makes it well suited for use over under floor heating systems; both electrical and water based. Due to the thickness of this product (14mm) the under floor heat transfer will be near its maximum efficiency when coupled with a low tog underlay. Please see our accessories section for more information on the underlays we offer. Here at Luxury Flooring, all our oak is sourced from a sustainable European forestry ensuring the best quality timber whilst safeguarding the future supply and most importantly, the environment. The grading of this engineered oak product is ABC meaning there will be some knots and natural imperfections on the surface of the planks, as you would expect with any natural wood product. Unlike solid oak products this particular product is relatively easy to lay, as you are not required to fully bond it to the subfloor. The two most common methods of installation when it comes to engineered products would be either to lay it as a floating floor above an underlay or alternatively secret nail the floorboards directly to the wooden subfloor beneath. If you require any matching accessories for your project, please see our accessories section above where we offer thresholds, beading and other accessories in the same lacquered finish. |
Our Engineered Flooring can be installed in three different ways, so it depends on your joining method, the subfloor and what sort of method you prefer.
- 1. Floating Floor
- 2. Gluing
- 3. Nailing
In a floating floor, the boards are joined to each other, instead of to the subfloor. If you have a click-joining floor, floating is the way to go. If not, you could still use this method by gluing the tongue and the groove joint together. Either way, we'd advise you to have underlay installed and prepped. We wouldn't recommend this method for tongue & groove parquet as it won't be as sturdy.
With this method, adhesive is applied to the top of the subfloor with a trowel and then the individual planks are laid on top. This is our favoured method for tongue & groove parquet flooring but isn't suitable for any type of click-fit boards.
With this method, secret nails go through the tongue to secure the planks to a wooden subfloor. Because of this, nailing is only suitable for tongue & groove floors, not click-fit. Professional fitters tend to prefer this method as the result is extremely secure. You'll need to fit a wood layer above any concrete because secret nailing cannot be done directly on top of a concrete subfloor.
