Barley Oak is an engineered European oak floor, supplied at 14mm × 190mm × 1900mm in prime grade. In tone it reads as a warm golden oak that brings light and honeyed depth to a room. The factoryed finish sets its character underfoot. Suitable for underfloor heating, it is laid board by board by our own installation team across London and the South East.
At 190mm wide, the boards show the timber in generous, unhurried lengths. Prime grade means the cleanest cut of the tree — minimal knots, gentle grain, a calm and consistent surface board after board.
The finish, and living with it A floor is its finish as much as its tone: here the factoryed treatment sets how Barley Oak handles daily life. A lacquered surface seals the timber, so day-to-day care is simply a vacuum and a damp — never wet — mop with a pH-neutral wood cleaner.
It stands up well to real family life; deeper wear in later years is dealt with by re-finishing rather than patching. Underfloor heating is no obstacle — the boards are rated for it and hold their shape as the seasons turn.
Rooms it suits, and the next step We fit it most often through living spaces, kitchens and hallways — the rooms that have to look good under real use. See more on our wide plank flooring in London page. It belongs to the Prime Grade Collection. If you are shortlisting, put Rye Oak and Snowdrop Oak beside it for comparison.
