Grand Antiqued & Smoked UV Oiled Engineered Oak Flooring

Our new Grand oak flooring takes design inspiration from old, time-trodden oak floors that have darkened and matured through years of footfall. With antiqued elements all undertaken by the artisan’s hands, this extra-wide oak board, is chock full of character and appeal.

Each plank of Grand engineered oak undergoes a smoking or fuming process, darkening the oak producing a handsome burnt, pale walnut colour to the floor. Every board reacts differently to this technique, though this difference is subtle, it produces a rich floor with delicate tonal differences that just add to the allure of this gorgeous oak. This 24cm wide oak flooring is also brushed which removes some of the softer wood from the surface adding a fine texture which embellishes the finish and is further heightened by the application of a UV finishing oil. With the artisanal hand-working adding aged elements to the oak, the smoking and brushing processes coupled with the highly resilient UV Oil finish, all these techniques combine to produce a grand oak floor that will elevate the space in which it is used.

Grand engineered oak flooring is available in 1.5cm (15mm) thick engineered boards, 220cm in length & 24cm wide (2200mm x 240mm) in an UV oiled finish. This engineered wood flooring has individually aged faces & edges and fits together via tongue & groove. Suitable for use with underfloor heating. More installation information can be found under the specification tab.

Design Tip: Wall colours – use white, beige, or pastel: These colours will create a refreshing clarity and allow the richness of the floor to stand out. For smaller spaces such as dining rooms or snugs consider white or light grey chairs, these colours work well with dark oak floors.

Technical
Finishing Oil	UV Oiled
Grade	RUSTIC GRADE: Rustic grade wood has the largest range of colour variation, sap content and allows almost a limitless size and number of knots. There will be checks (stable splits) across & between the growth rings, all of which add to its natural charm. Filler will be used and the colour is traditionally dark, carefully selected to compliment the oak rather than to match it or ‘disappear’. Rustic grade oak produces a stunning, traditional vintage looking floor.
Glue-Down	We recommend fixing engineered oak, where possible, with the Glue-down method. Using a high-quality adhesive will result in the most stable floor installation as the base of each board is bonded directly to the sub-floor. No underlay is needed and no gluing of the tongue and groove is required. We recommend Bona Quantum flexible wood flooring adhesive though many other brands are available – speak with your installer as they will likely have a tried and tested product they can supply.
Floating	Glue-down method is not appropriate for sub-floors that are damp, are mixed i.e. timber subfloor combined with concrete/screed sub-floor or have specific requirements such as acoustic deadening. With sub-floors of this type the Floating installation method will likely be proposed by your installer. The boards are not fixed to the sub-floor but instead uses the weight of the floor itself to keep them in place, usually with the use of an underlay between the sub-floor and boards. The tongue & groove would normally be glued in a floating installation. NB: Beswick stone do not provide underlay, glue or any other wood installation product.
Blending	Shade and colour variation should be expected in our real timber engineered oak products. Each board will react differently to the finishing processes used and have unique characteristics such as knots and highlighted grain. Stronger tone & colour variation can occur between batches, so it is recommended you ensure you order enough for your project in one batch. As always when laying real timber flooring a good number of packs should be opened at a time and blended.
Cleaning	The Bona Premium Spray Mop for Oiled Wood Floor is the easiest and most effective way of cleaning oiled wood floors in the home. Simply spray and wipe the floor clean. It cleans and nourishes your oiled wood floor while providing extra protection.
