Thick coats of matt drying lacquer varnish are applied over long wide boards to accentuate the smooth sanded hand filled rustic surface that is full of natural oak character. Giving the same robust feel under foot as a solid floor but with a far more economical use of the precious hardwood top layer. The planks use a thick wear layer of European oak and are backed on an ultra stable hardwood multi ply tongue & grooved base. Realising that traditional solid flooring was wasteful and more damaging to the environment, V4 Wood Flooring have pioneered the use of this type of flooring construction over the last decade.

This micro bevelled plank is classically proportioned to suit any interior space, milled from rustic grade oak which is lightly brushed to remove the soft grain from the top layer of the wood. This leaves a surface which is hard and more resistant to scratches. Coats of Danish oil are machine applied and and buffed into the textured surface, each coat is cured under a low voltage UV light. The result is a natural oiled stain resistant surface which allows the floor breathe and is simple to maintain.

The 5 mm rustic oak top layer is rolled with steel brushes to take away the softer grain whilst following the contours of the natural grain, the result is an enhanced surface texture which becomes tactile underfoot and extremely durable to everyday scratches. This engineered wood floor from V4 Wood Flooring is packed full of rustic charm, adding warmth and character to both traditional and modern interiors alike.
