Grey Oak · The look

Grey Oak is engineered oak in five tones, from a light washed grey to a deep smoked grey. Widths run from 125 mm to 220 mm; every board is brushed, three are matt lacquered and two are hard wax oiled.

Cool light, cool floor
Grey oak reads truest under daylight. Under warm bulbs a washed grey can drift towards beige, which is often a pleasant surprise rather than a problem; check the sample in the evening as well as at noon.
Washed or smoked
The washed greys (Light Grey, Grey Washed, Ashdown) keep the oak grain pale under a grey tint; the smoked greys carry the colour deeper into the wood and read darker and more even. They are two different floors under one heading.
Where it works
Coastal and Scandinavian schemes, converted flats with white walls, and any room where the furniture is the colour and the floor should stay quiet.
Is grey oak going out of style?
The pale, washed greys have settled into the standard palette alongside natural and white oak; the very cool, flat greys of a few years ago are the ones that date. Choose a grey with visible oak grain and some warmth in it and the floor will outlast the trend that brought it in.
What is the difference between Light Grey and Grey Washed?
Both are Weybridge boards at 190 mm by 1900 mm with a brushed, matt lacquered surface and a 3 mm wear layer. Light Grey is the cooler, more uniform tint; Grey Washed leaves more of the underlying oak colour showing through, so it sits closer to a natural board.
Can grey oak go over underfloor heating?
All five boards are listed as compatible with underfloor heating. The colour does not change the rules: keep the surface temperature within the limit in the specification and let the floor acclimatise in the heated room before it is laid.
How do I order the right amount?
Use the calculator on any product page, or order by box or pallet, we add 10% for cuts and waste automatically.
Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?
Yes, kerbside pallet delivery nationwide, and samples from £1.99 so you can check colour and finish at home first.

Choosing grey engineered oak

There are two greys here, and it helps to decide which you want before comparing boards. The washed greys, Weybridge Light Grey, Weybridge Grey Washed and Ascot Ashdown, take a grey tint over pale oak, so the grain stays light and the floor reads as a cool natural board. The smoked greys, Cobham Smoked Grey and the Victorian Antique Smoked Grey, carry the colour into the wood, so the floor reads darker, more even and more deliberate. Put a washed and a smoked sample side by side and the difference is obvious; in separate photographs it is not.

The surface does not follow that split exactly. Weybridge Light Grey, Weybridge Grey Washed and Cobham Smoked Grey are brushed and matt lacquered, a hard-wearing surface that is wiped clean and refinished as a whole floor in due course. Ascot Ashdown is brushed and hard wax oiled with a Rustic grade, so it can be re-oiled locally and carries more knots and colour play. The Victorian Antique Smoked Grey is deep brushed and hard wax oiled, with the antique grade's variation and a 4 mm wear layer against 3 mm on the others. Widths run from the 125 mm Ascot plank in random lengths, through the 150 mm Cobham board, to the 190 mm Weybridge and 220 mm Victorian Antique planks.

Grey is the colour most affected by the light in the room. Daylight from the north keeps it cool; warm evening light and warm bulbs pull it towards greige. Neither is wrong, but the sample should be looked at in both before the order goes in. All five boards are tongue and groove, micro-bevelled, listed as compatible with underfloor heating and carry a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.

If the scheme is warmer than expected once the walls are painted, the light oak range is the neighbour to look at: the same pale grain without the grey tint. If it is cooler, the white oak boards take the palette one step further.
