Buying guide
White Oak, explained
Still unsure? Real people, honest advice.
White Oak is engineered oak with a white oil or a whitewash, so the grain shows through a pale surface. There are 3 boards: a smooth, white oiled Weybridge plank, a brushed Weybridge Whitewashed plank under a matt lacquer and a deep brushed Victorian Antique board, hard wax oiled.

Choosing white engineered oak
White oak here does not mean a pale species; it means European oak made pale in the finish. On the two oiled boards a white-pigmented oil does two things: it counters the amber cast that ordinary oil gives oak, and it settles into the open grain so the figure of the wood shows as fine pale lines against a slightly paler ground. The result is a floor that reads cool and chalky in daylight and warms to cream in the evening. The third board, Weybridge Whitewashed, is brushed and matt lacquered.
The 3 boards are different characters. The Weybridge White Oiled Oak is a smooth, Classic grade plank at 190 mm by 1900 mm with a 3 mm wear layer; it is the clean, modern version and suits open-plan rooms with white walls. The Weybridge Whitewashed Oak has the same format, grade and wear layer with a brushed, lacquered surface. The Victorian Antique White Oak is 15 mm thick, 220 mm by 2200 mm, deep brushed and hard wax oiled with a 4 mm wear layer and the Antique Effect grade's aged variation; it is the version for a period room or a coastal scheme where a little texture is wanted. All three are tongue and groove, micro-bevelled, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, and carry a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.
In practice
The two oiled boards can be maintained locally: a worn patch is cleaned and re-oiled rather than the whole floor being sanded. The one rule is to use the manufacturer's white maintenance oil, not a clear one. A clear oil darkens the patch it is applied to and the repair shows. The lacquered Whitewashed board is wiped clean and refinished as a whole floor when the time comes.
A pale floor shows dark marks and grit more than a mid tone does, and a smooth pale floor most of all. If the room is a hallway or a kitchen, the deep brushed board is the more forgiving of the three, and the washed grey boards are worth a look as a close, slightly darker alternative.

Cleaning — the manufacturers’ own guidance
For multilayer modular floor coverings the MMFA requires low-moisture cleaning methods and states that pooling of liquid on the floor must be avoided under all circumstances.
“Absolutely avoid ponding in any case!”
Source: Basic cleaning — MMFA (Multilayer Modular Flooring Association)Acclimatisation before fitting
The Contract Flooring Association's guide asks for a steady room temperature of 18 to 27 °C, reached 48 hours before installation, so that the flooring can be kept in the room and reach room temperature before it is laid.

“They also advise that this temperature should be attained 48 hours prior to the installation, so that floorings can be kept in the room and brought to room temperature (acclimatised) before installation.”
