Chene Engineered Oak Flooring 14mm

Chene's 14mm engineered range is a solid, everyday oak floor built with a 3mm real wood top layer over a durable engineered core. It's designed to bring the warmth and grain of genuine oak into a home without the higher price tag of premium ranges, while still holding up well to daily use. With widths from 125mm to 190mm and finishes running from natural lacquered through to golden and cognac tones, the range covers a broad spread of everyday oak looks.

Key Features

• 3mm oak top layer over a durable engineered core, offering genuine wood character at an accessible price point
• Three plank widths — 125mm, 150mm and 190mm — to suit different room sizes and budgets
• Finish choice across Lacquered, Brushed & Lacquered, Oiled, Invisible Oiled and Handscraped
• Tonal range spanning natural oak through to golden and cognac shades
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms
• Sandable and refinishable, extending the floor's usable lifespan well beyond the original surface

Finishes and Tones

The Lacquered and Brushed & Lacquered finishes seal the surface for everyday durability, with brushing adding a bit of texture beneath the seal. Oiled and Invisible Oiled finishes instead soak into the wood, giving a more natural look and making small marks easier to spot-repair. The Handscraped option adds visible texture across the board's surface, giving a more traditional, worn-in character.

Tonally, Chene runs from a natural oak look through to golden oak, which brings a warmer, honeyed tone, and cognac, which adds a deeper reddish-brown character. This spread makes it straightforward to match the floor to existing woodwork or set the overall warmth of a room.

Where Chene 14mm Works Best

• Everyday living spaces — the durable engineered core suits hallways, living rooms and bedrooms alike
• Budget-conscious renovations — the range offers genuine oak character without the cost of premium ranges
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces
• Long-term installations — the 3mm top layer allows the floor to be sanded and refinished as it wears
