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.
