Plank

Structure and Options

Plank, specified around the project

Direct control over grade, proportion and construction allows the floor to be specified around the room instead of one fixed format.

Set the proportion

Other dimensions can be considered for project-specific production.

AB and ABC offer a more selectively graded appearance. ABCD retains more of the oak's natural variation and character.

Built for stability and finish.

Material and finishing choices are considered as part of the complete engineered construction.

Full birch, throughout the core

Every plank uses a dense, multi-layer full birch core. It supports the wider board formats and helps limit movement as indoor conditions change.

Prepared for hydronic heating

Relief grooves on the reverse help distribute stress as temperatures change. Suitable for correctly designed and operated hydronic underfloor heating systems only.

A controlled surface finish

Factory-applied UV-cured lacquer creates a consistent, durable surface while retaining the definition of the oak grain and keeping routine care straightforward.

Built for precise pattern and controlled movement.

The core, reverse profile and surface finish are considered as part of the complete parquet construction.

Full birch, throughout the core

Each piece uses a dense, multi-layer full birch core. Its consistent construction supports precise machining and helps manage movement across repeated patterned layouts.

Prepared for hydronic heating

Machined relief grooves on the reverse help distribute stress as floor temperatures change. Suitable for correctly designed and operated hydronic underfloor heating systems only.

A controlled surface finish

Factory-applied UV-cured lacquer creates a consistent, durable surface, retains clear oak grain and keeps routine care straightforward.

Care & Maintenance

Engineered wood flooring is easy to maintain with regular sweeping or vacuuming using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and grit. Clean using a slightly damp microfibre mop with a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner, and avoid excessive water, steam mops, harsh chemicals, wax or abrasive products. Use mats at entrances, felt pads under furniture, and lift heavy items instead of dragging them to prevent scratches. Wipe spills immediately, keep indoor humidity stable, and reduce direct sunlight exposure to preserve the natural beauty and long-term performance of your flooring.

Installation & Warranty

Engineered flooring should be installed by qualified professionals on a clean, dry and level subfloor, with boards acclimatised before installation. Direct glue-down installation is recommended using a suitable flooring adhesive for strong bonding performance and reliable long-term stability.
