    Tradition Select Engineered Wood Flooring

    Displaying 9 results9 items

    This range is Prime grade throughout, with oak boards in widths from 180mm up to 260mm at 14mm or 15mm thick, with wear layers of 3mm or 4mm depending on the board. Prime grade means a cleaner, more uniform look across the plank, with fewer knots than a Rustic-grade board, which suits a room where you want the wood grain to read as consistent rather than characterful.

    Standard vs wide format

    Most boards sit at 180mm to 190mm wide, with a 260mm option available at the wider end of the range, specifically as an unfinished board. If a wider plank look is the priority, the 260mm option means going unfinished and sanding and sealing on site, rather than picking a pre-finished wide board.

    Finish options

    • Lacquered and UV lacquered — sealed, low-maintenance, straightforward to clean
    • Oiled, UV oiled, invisible oiled and white oiled — natural-looking finishes that show more of the timber's grain, at the cost of needing occasional reoiling
    • Unfinished — sanded and sealed on site, the only route to the widest 260mm boards in this range

    Smoked and white oiled options

    A handful of boards carry a smoked treatment, giving a deeper, more weathered tone before the white oiled or UV oiled finish is applied, distinct from the standard natural oak colour running through most of the range. This gives a genuinely different look within the same Prime grade and construction, worth considering if you want more depth of colour than a standard natural oak floor.

    FAQ

    What's the difference between Prime and other engineered grades?
    Prime grade has a cleaner, more uniform appearance with fewer knots, compared with Rustic or Natural grades that show more natural character.

    Can I get a 260mm wide board in this range pre-finished?
    No, the 260mm boards in this range are sold unfinished, so a wider plank means sanding and sealing on site rather than a pre-finished option.

    What does "smoked" mean on some of these boards?
    It's a colour treatment applied before the final finish, giving a deeper, more weathered tone than the standard natural oak colour in the range.
