MORE STOCK DUE IN MARCH/APRIL 2021 – PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE DETAILS REGARDING OUR U/F SQUARE EDGE BOARDS.

Our 15 x 189 unfinished square edge mixed grade engineered oak is available as either micro bevelled or square edged, meaning that by ordering the square edged product your finished floor will be seamless without the small ‘v’ groove that the bevelled edge provides.

One of the best features of our unfinished engineered oak flooring is that you have the luxury of choosing your own finish for the floor that suits your own personal taste and the room in which the floor will be installed. This flooring is popular as you can create a wide variety of looks by finishing the flooring on site with a finish of your choice.

This unfinished square edge mixed grade engineered oak flooring is 15mm thick, which is made from 11mm of Eucalyptus plywood underside that is bonded to a full 4mm French oak wear layer and is 189mm wide. The flooring is single strip oak, which shows off beautifully the extra width that is available to you when you order from our engineered oak flooring product range.

Our unfinished 15x189mm engineered oak flooring is suitable to be installed over under floor heating. The engineered boards do not have a softwood core and because of this, they are strong enough to be fitted using any of the three common methods: glue down, nail down or float.

Your unfinished square edge mixed grade engineered oak floor is sanded ready to receive the finish of your choice after installation. You can create whatever colour and style of finish you want for your room simply by the addition of a product such as wax oil, in whatever colour you want.

Unfinished engineered oak flooring allows you to create a variety of looks; from a contemporary, modern look in your home or venue through to an aged, well-worn and used look for a more vintage appeal.

This flooring is particularly popular in rooms with large staircases and other similar features because the floor can be easily coordinated to match up with the rest of the room. By finishing the flooring on site in your home or venue, a “seal” is achieved between each board, which is particularly useful for areas where spillages may occur.

By choosing our unfinished engineered oak flooring, you are able to create a bespoke look to your flooring, giving you increased flexibility in changing the look of your room and providing you with many years of use and service from a high quality engineered oak floor.

Can be floated, nailed down or glued down and is suitable for installation above UFH. Details of all these methods can be found in our Fitting Guidelines guide. This product is suitable for installation over UFH, as long as its surrounding conditions are maintained and controlled as required. The multiply back construction of our Engineered Oak flooring provides much greater stability than Solid Oak when subjected to varying levels of heat, humidity, and moisture. This also enable the boards to be manufactured a lot wider than solid without risk of cupping, which is associated with the wide solid oak boards available.This stability allows the floor to be installed as a floating floor where conditions permit, directly onto concrete or timber subfloors, and is ideal for floating floor installation over an underlay that can provide your floor with extra protection from possible moisture attack from beneath. Click on this blue link for more information on the different Underlay we have available.Engineered Oak can also be fitted above underfloor heating when the correct installation guidelines are followed and the necessary levels of heat, humidity and moisture are maintained by the owner after installation.
We can supply a Self-Regulating UFH System that's perfect for use with our Oak Flooring because it never overheats, making it safe and super energy efficient.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Sometimes the plywood backed engineered boards will seem as if they are ‘bowed’ from end to end when they are first removed from the packaging. This is very common with a plywood backed product because of the difference in molecular structure of the solid oak face and the plywood backing.
It is not a fault with the board and should be expected. It does not cause any problems during installation because of the required staggered joint fixing for an oak floor. Obviously as each board is ‘surrounded’ when fixed, by at least another 4 boards, it is straightened and aligned perfectly every time. In fact, some fitters claim this actually strengthens the floor further.NB: Please note that our 15mm Engineered boards are not structural grade and when fitted using the floating floor method over large areas or over an uneven subfloor, some 'give' may be present within the floor after installation.
In such situations (or where there's any risk of this happening) we advise that the boards should be installed by fixing down, either by nail or glue, depending on your subfloor.
One way of avoiding this challenge is to install our structural grade 21mm board instead - although more expensive per M2, you should still save money if the only method of fixing the 15mm board available is to glue down because this can add another £6-£7 per M2 to your cost.
Although our engineered products have an underside of high quality plywood and are designed to provide extra stability after installation, they're still constructed of all natural products.After proper and sufficient acclimatisation, the conditions during installation should be maintained as consistently as possible thereafter for optimum performance and to avoid dimensional movement of each board within the finished floor.For information on important, ongoing maintenance, please refer to our Care & Maintenance guide.
Weather, Humidity, Temperature and the Ongoing Maintenance of Your Flooring  
Because oak is a natural, hygroscopic (water absorbent) material, and its dimensions are directly relative to its moisture content, we must control and maintain the relative humidity within our homes to enable the moisture content of our oak flooring to remain constant. This will ensure stability of each board within the finished floor, because failure to do this may force these boards to change dimensionally and structurally. This is not at all a fault of the flooring itself but all to do with the conditions that it’s being forced to endure.
Here’s an example of what can happen, when the outdoor temperature is 0°C
The maximum amount of water that a cubic metre of air can hold at this temperature is 5 grams, so when you bring this cubic metre of air inside and heat it to 25°C, the relative humidity drops to only 23%. We actually recommend a minimum of 40% for optimum floor stability (incidentally, this is also the level that health experts recommend for our bodies too, so good for our floor and good for us).
But it gets worse as the temperature outside falls lower, and this is why the air inside any heated building in the winter can become too dry, which can obviously have an effect on our flooring (and our bodies).
When relative humidity is allowed to drop too low, our flooring is forced to lose moisture itself and will try to curl upwards towards the dry air (similar to a piece of bacon under a grill) in an effort to find moisture.Any time the temperature outside is well below freezing, relative humidity inside will be below 20% unless you do something to increase it, and not increasing it can have a devastating effect on your oak floor.

Specification: Our 15mm Engineered Oak is constructed as a multilayer board, consisting of a Solid Oak face or wear layer of 4mm, with an 11mm plywood backing that forms the T&G, and provides a good strong underside suitable for installation by nailing, gluing or floating. The underside is also ‘sealed’ with a final stabilising veneer.

Important: We order our flooring in full containers that hold 12 pallets each, so the grade mix that you receive and see within your finished floor will obviously depend on the amount ordered, because being a natural product means that different batches of flooring will obviously contain varying amounts of each grade. Because we order a minimum of 4 containers per order, sometimes the grade mix can vary within the containers and yet still meet our stringent quality control.
