Weybridge Light Grey Oak Wood Flooring 14 x 190 x 1900 (mm)

The grey is a tint over pale oak, so the grain stays light and the floor reads as a cool natural board rather than a painted one.

Brushed and matt lacquered wipes clean, hides fine scratches and does not add sheen; it is refinished as a whole floor when it has worn. Grey shifts with the light more than any other tone, cool under daylight and softer under warm bulbs, so the sample belongs in the room at both times of day. Tongue and groove and micro-bevelled, the board is listed as compatible with underfloor heating; each box holds eight boards, 2.888 square metres, and the manufacturer's warranty is 15 years.

The Weybridge Grey Washed Oak is the same board with more of the oak's own warmth showing through the tint; the Cobham Smoked Grey Oak and Victorian Antique Smoked Grey Oak carry the grey deeper into the wood; the Weybridge Whitewashed Oak is the pale neighbour without the grey.
