Brushed & Oiled Engineered Oak

Brushing lifts the soft grain so the oak has texture you can feel; oil soaks in for a natural matt look that can be repaired in patches. It is the most requested finish combination we supply.

Short answer: Brushed and oiled oak has a wire-brushed surface that lifts the grain for texture and an oil finish that soaks in for a natural matt look. It hides light scratches and footprints well, and worn areas can be re-oiled without sanding the whole floor, which makes it popular for kitchens, hallways and homes with pets.

Why brushed and oiled

The finish that hides wear and ages well.

Brushed

Texture you can feel

A wire brush removes the softer grain, leaving a tactile surface that disguises light scratches and footprints.

Oiled

Natural and repairable

The oil sits in the wood rather than on it, so worn areas can be re-oiled without sanding the whole room.

Everyday

Made for family homes

Popular in kitchens, hallways and homes with pets, where a lived-in surface is an advantage.
