Why choose lacquer

A modern matt lacquer no longer looks shiny or plastic. It simply protects the floor.

Protection

Sealed against spills

Lacquer forms a clear, hard layer on the surface, so water, wine and grease sit on top and wipe away rather than soaking in.

Care

Low maintenance

Sweep and damp-mop with a cleaner made for lacquered floors. There is no regular oiling, which makes it the easiest finish to live with.

Look

Matt and invisible

Matt lacquers keep a soft, natural look. Invisible lacquers go further, leaving the oak looking almost unfinished and keeping pale floors pale.

Lacquered or oiled?

Both protect the oak well. The difference is how they look, how they wear and how they are repaired.

The questions we are asked most often.

Ask Us Anything →

Does lacquered oak flooring look shiny?

Not with a modern matt lacquer. The floors here use matt, brushed matt and invisible lacquers, which give a soft, natural look. Invisible lacquers leave the oak looking close to unfinished.

What is an invisible lacquer?

An invisible lacquer protects the floor without warming or yellowing the oak, so the timber keeps the pale, raw colour it has when freshly sawn.

Can a lacquered oak floor be repaired?

Light scuffs can be cleaned and recoated. Deeper damage usually means lightly sanding and relacquering the affected boards or room, which is why lacquer suits people who want low maintenance rather than frequent touch-ups.

Is lacquered oak better in a kitchen?

For most families, yes. Lacquer seals the surface against spills and needs only a damp mop, which makes it the easiest finish in a busy kitchen or hallway.

Can lacquered engineered oak go over underfloor heating?

Yes. Every engineered oak floor we supply is suitable for underfloor heating when glued down over the heated screed.
