Victorian Antique Smoky Oak Flooring 20 x 190 x 1900 (mm)

With 6 mm of oak above the core, the floor can be sanded and re-oiled as often as a solid floor over its life, and the manufacturer's warranty is 20 years rather than the 15 of the thinner boards. Hard wax oil is topped up locally where it wears; the board is tongue and groove with a micro-bevelled edge, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, and each box covers 1.805 square metres.

Choose it for the rooms that will be lived in hardest and kept longest: a period hallway, a kitchen-diner in a house you will not leave. The Victorian Antique Dark Oak is the warmer twin in the same format; the Victorian Antique Smoked Grey Oak carries the smoked tone further into grey at 15 mm and 220 mm wide.
