Smoked Oak flooring can really add warmth and a richness to your home. Oak is a timeless floor covering with distinctive and classic features. The natural colour of Oak is a golden light brown. You are getting the beauty of Oak, but with a darker and richer brown colour. As with any wooden floor, if you look after it, it can last a lifetime.
What exactly is it?
It is similar to an Oak floor, but the wood has been smoked to give it a deeper colour. The end result is a darker brown than natural Oak. This gives you a chance to have the beauty of a natural wooden floor, but with different tones and shades of brown. We have two types:
Smoked Oak - a medium brown colour
Dark Smoked Oak – a darker brown colour
What types of floors can I get in smoked Oak?
There are three different types of wooden floor that you can get:
1. Plank: this is the traditional style of wooden flooring, with long, random length planks which you install in a random pattern.
2. Parquet Block: these are smaller blocks of flooring that you can create a series of geometric patterns with, such as, herringbone, basket weave and brick bond.
3. Chevron: a small plank with the short edge angled at 45 degrees, so that when installed they create a recurring ‘V’ pattern.
The choice is yours – it will, of course, depend upon which style of flooring you think will suit your home and your décor.
