Mid Browns · The look

Mid Browns in the BML rigid vinyl range are the natural, farmhouse and rustic oak designs. Nine floors across the 5.2 mm plank, the 6.5 mm wide plank and the herringbone block: the conventional oak colour for the rooms that need a waterproof floor.

The oak colour most people mean
Natural and golden oak tones that suit any scheme, which is why the band is the default for a kitchen-diner. It hides crumbs and dust better than the pale designs and does not close a room down the way the dark ones can.
Three formats
Four 5.2 mm planks with a 0.3 mm wear layer: Natural Oak, Natural Washed Oak, Grey-brown Oak and Farmhouse Oak. Four wide planks at 6.5 mm with 0.55 mm: Rustic Oak, Smoked Limed Oak, Natural Oak and European Oak. One herringbone block, European Oak, at the same 0.55 mm.
Textured, all of them
Every mid-brown design is textured, so the printed grain has a surface to match and small scuffs sit in it rather than on it.
Which mid-brown vinyl is closest to a natural oak floor?
European Oak, in the wide plank and the herringbone block, and Natural Oak in both plank sizes. Rustic Oak prints a knottier board; Farmhouse Oak leans golden; Natural Washed Oak and Grey-brown Oak sit at the cooler edge of the band.
Wide plank or standard plank for a kitchen-diner?
The wide plank: 228 mm by 1524 mm boards read as one surface in an open-plan room, and the 6.5 mm floors carry the 0.55 mm wear layer that a kitchen asks for. The 5.2 mm plank at 0.3 mm suits the bedrooms and the living room upstairs.
Can the mid browns go over underfloor heating?
All nine are listed as compatible with underfloor heating. Keep the surface temperature within the limit the heating standard sets; the figures are quoted below.
LVT or laminate, what is the difference?
LVT shrugs off water where laminate swells at the joints, and it is quieter and slightly softer underfoot; laminate is harder-wearing against scratches and cheaper. For wet rooms choose LVT every time.
Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?
Yes, UK-wide delivery options, and samples from £1.99 so you can check the design at home first.

Choosing mid-brown rigid vinyl

The mid browns are the rigid vinyl equivalent of natural oak: the conventional warm colour that sits under most kitchens and most furniture without argument. Nine BML floors. Four are 5.2 mm planks at 181 mm by 1220 mm with a 0.3 mm wear layer: Natural Oak, Natural Washed Oak, Grey-brown Oak and Farmhouse Oak. Four are 6.5 mm wide planks at 228 mm by 1524 mm with a 0.55 mm wear layer: Rustic Oak, Smoked Limed Oak, Natural Oak and European Oak. One is the 6.5 mm European Oak herringbone block at 126 mm by 630 mm, also 0.55 mm.

All nine share the construction of the range: solid polymer core, listed as waterproof, underlay attached, textured, commercial grade, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, 25 year manufacturer's warranty. The format is the first decision, and it follows the room. A kitchen-diner or an open-plan ground floor takes the wide plank, whose long boards read as one surface and whose 0.55 mm wear layer is the specification for a room with grit and chairs. Bedrooms and living rooms upstairs take the 5.2 mm plank.

Within the band the tones spread further than the name suggests. European Oak and Natural Oak are the reference colour; Farmhouse Oak leans golden; Rustic Oak prints more knots and variation; Smoked Limed Oak, Natural Washed Oak and Grey-brown Oak sit at the cooler, greyer edge and are the ones to look at if the walls are a cool white. The printed designs repeat within a box, so a floor of one design reads more even than an oak floor of the same tone.

A mid-brown floor is also the practical choice for a household with dogs, children or a garden door, because it hides what a pale floor shows and does not absorb light the way a dark one does. The use classes the standards apply to that kind of traffic are quoted below.
