Oiled Engineered Wood
Oiled engineered wood flooring offers a more natural and tactile finish, designed to enhance the grain and texture of the timber while maintaining a soft, low-sheen appearance. This type of finish is often chosen for its ability to create a more understated and organic look within the home.
This category includes a selection of oiled engineered wood flooring from the GF range alongside other carefully selected collections, offering a variety of tones and formats including plank, herringbone and parquet designs. Each option has been chosen to provide a natural and cohesive feel across the wider range.
Oiled finishes penetrate the surface of the wood rather than sitting on top, allowing the natural grain and variation to remain visible. This creates a more authentic appearance compared to lacquered finishes, with a softer and more natural feel underfoot.
Over time, oiled floors can develop additional character as they respond to everyday use, with subtle changes in tone and texture adding to their overall appearance. They can also be maintained and refreshed more easily, making them a practical option for those looking for a finish that can be adapted over time.
Within this category, a range of tones are available from light and natural finishes through to deeper and more characterful shades. When combined with different formats such as plank or herringbone, this allows for flexibility in both design and layout.
As with all engineered wood flooring, oiled products benefit from a stable, layered construction that makes them suitable for modern homes and compatible with underfloor heating systems, while maintaining the natural qualities of real wood.
Choosing Your Oiled Engineered Wood Floor: A Guide
Consider these factors when selecting the perfect oiled engineered wood flooring for your home:
Room usage / Location: Consider the room’s function and traffic levels. Oiled engineered wood is suitable for most rooms, but high-moisture areas like bathrooms require extra care and ventilation.
Lifestyle: If you have pets or children, choose a durable oiled finish that can withstand scratches and spills. Regular maintenance with appropriate cleaning products will help keep your floor looking its best.
Budget: Oiled engineered wood flooring varies in price depending on the species of wood, thickness, and brand. We offer a range of options to suit different budgets, without compromising on quality.
Durability & maintenance: Oiled finishes require regular maintenance to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty. This typically involves applying a maintenance oil every few months, depending on traffic levels. Spot repairs are easy to perform, making oiled floors a practical choice for busy households.
Installation: We offer a professional supply and fit service, ensuring that your new oiled engineered wood floor is installed to the highest standards. Our experienced fitters will take care of everything, from subfloor preparation to final finishing touches.
Sustainability: We are committed to sourcing sustainable wood products. Look for certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) to ensure that your oiled engineered wood flooring comes from responsibly managed forests.
