Why oak is so popular

Hardness and resistance: it withstands daily traffic and furniture well, and its grain suits almost any style.

Types of oak flooring

Solid oak parquet is made of solid oak strips, glued or nailed down. It is the most durable and can be sanded several times. Engineered oak and oak-look laminate are alternatives at different price points.

Most common tones

Natural oak is the original tone of the wood, warm and bright. Light and smoked finishes suit different styles and rooms.
