Oak Flooring

When you think of oak, you imagine homes and the grand chateaus of Europe. Oak has been used for centuries throughout the world, but of late it has had a revival of popularity in Australia. Its not uncommon to find buildings in Europe which are several hundred years old to have the original solid wood floor still in use today. Oak is classic and timeless. Traditionally available in wide width planks, these days there are options in widths, stains and finishes (oil or lacquer). With more colours available than traditional Australian hardwood species, oak has become a preferred choice in chic stylish homes that want to look that little bit different. Oak ranges in distressed, oil finishes have the ability to increase their appeal over time, just like a comfortable worn out leather chair, their scratches and dents become endearing characteristics.
