Victorian Antique Natural Oak Flooring 15 x 220 x 2200 (mm)

It is Antique Effect grade, deep brushed and finished with hard wax oil, and the colour stays close to natural oak, so the ageing shows in the texture and the variation rather than in a darker tint.

A 220 mm board reads as one surface in a large room, and the 4 mm wear layer gives the floor more depth for future sanding than the 14 mm antique boards. The oiled finish is maintained locally with the manufacturer's maintenance oil; the board is tongue and groove, micro-bevelled, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, and a box of six boards covers 2.904 square metres. Manufacturer's warranty: 15 years.

It is the antique board for an open-plan ground floor or a large drawing room, where the width can show. In a smaller room the 14 mm, 190 mm antique boards keep the same surface at a scale that fits; for the natural tone without the aged texture, the Cobham and Ascot natural oak boards are smooth or lightly brushed.
