Evolve Richmond Engineered Oak Flooring

Evolve Richmond is a smooth, brushed engineered oak floor built for everyday practicality without sacrificing style. With a 3mm oak top layer and widths from 125mm up to 190mm, it's a straightforward, versatile range that covers a broad set of tones, from natural and golden through to smoked grey and a striking black-washed finish. It's a solid, everyday choice for homes wanting genuine oak character across a wide range of interior styles.

• Three plank widths — 125mm, 150mm and 190mm — to suit different room sizes
• Finish choice across Lacquered, Brushed & Lacquered, Brushed & Oiled and Hard Wax Oiled
• Wide tonal range, from natural and golden through to smoked grey and black washed
• Compatible with underfloor heating, suiting renovated or newly built rooms

Finishes and Tones

The Lacquered and Brushed & Lacquered finishes seal the surface for everyday durability, with brushing adding a touch of texture beneath the seal. The Brushed & Oiled and Hard Wax Oiled options instead soak into the wood, giving a more natural feel and making small marks easier to spot-repair.

Tonally, Richmond covers real ground: Natural and Golden tones keep things warm and traditional, Smoked Grey brings a cooler, more contemporary edge, and the Black Washed finish offers a bold, dark option for those wanting real contrast underfoot.

Where Richmond Works Best

• Everyday living spaces — the durable engineered build suits hallways, living rooms and bedrooms alike
• Contemporary interiors — the smoked grey and black washed tones bring a modern edge
• Traditional or warmer homes — the natural and golden tones suit classic interiors
• Rooms with underfloor heating — the engineered core is built to handle the gradual temperature shifts UFH produces
