HW9502 Elsen 1-Strip - Engineered European Oak Wood Flooring - UV Oiled - 13x180mm - Rustic

HW9502 Elsen is a medium brown engineered European oak floor, installed in a 1-strip pattern. Its engineered constructions adds significant stability to the board allowing for natural wood expansion without compromising on the real wood aesthetic.

During production, the timber is lightly sawn across the grain of the wood in places to give texture and character to the surface. The surface is then prefinished with a UV cured hard wax oil that offers the advantages of lacquer with the subtlety of oil. This micro-porous, water-repellent surface finish also offers higher protection from stains.

Designated as 'Rustic' grade, all the natural features of a tree will be present with all shapes and sizes of knots. Distinctive sapwood and heartwood add further layers of beauty and you should expect checks and possibly some end shake.

The subtle two-sided bevel found upon the long edges adds visual interest yet keeps the ends of the boards closely connected for an uninterrupted flow. HW9502 features a tongue & groove profile and should be fully bonded to the subfloor using a suitable adhesive or floated on a high-quality underlay. HW9502 can also be installed over underfloor heating, please ask for our technical guidelines for more information.
