Minimalism is key with this charming board, the rustic oak surface is simply smooth sanded, buffed and sealed with 4 coats of UV cured natural Danish oil. The resulting surface has a rich lustre and subtle natural sheen, which is hardwearing, stain resistant and easy to care for, whilst preserving the tactile warm hardwood appeal. Micro bevels give a contemporary edge to this modern classic.
This traditionally proportioned rustic oak plank is smooth sanded, bevelled and exquisitely finished with six fine coats of aluminium oxide satin lacquer. The resulting finish brings out a deep lustre in the oak, accentuating the natural beauty of the grain. The lacquered surface is a robust and easily cleaned surface ideal for a busy household.
This is an untreated smooth sanded oak plank. The first striking difference between this board and the other oak we sell is the pale colouration, the raw colour of seasoned oak. This creates a canvas full of rustic character to which any surface application can be added once installed on your floor.

This brushed and hardwax oiled oak floor was born from the idea of producing an alternative to solid wood parquet. Giving the same robust feel under foot as a solid floor but with a far more economical use of the precious hardwood top layer. The planks use a thick wear layer of European oak and are backed on an ultra stable hardwood multi ply tongue & grooved base. Realising that traditional solid flooring was wasteful and more damaging to the environment, Vanilla Wood Floors have pioneered the use of this type of flooring construction over the last decade.
