The floors

02

Choosing smoked oak flooring

What smoking does, and how to pick the right depth of tone.

The process

How oak is smoked

Traditionally oak is smoked by fuming, where the natural tannins in the wood darken so the colour sits in the timber rather than on the surface. Some smoked floors use a smoked stain instead. Each floor's page gives its exact finish.

Depth

Light or deep smoke

Light and vintage smoked oak keep the room bright while adding warmth — an easy choice for whole-house floors. Deep smoked tones suit large, well-lit rooms and make a bold statement in a reception room or study.

Pairing

What to pair it with

Smoked oak sits well with warm whites, plaster pinks, olive greens and deep blues, natural stone and brass. Compare samples against your paint colours in daylight before you choose.

Smoked Oak Flooring,
Answered

Common questions about smoked engineered oak.

Ask Us Anything →
What is smoked oak flooring?
Oak that has been darkened by smoking (fuming), where the natural tannins in the wood react and deepen in colour, or by a smoked stain. It ranges from a light warm smoke to a deep brown.
Is smoked oak the same as stained oak?
Not always. Traditional smoking changes the colour of the timber itself, while a stain colours the surface. Each LIGNORA floor page states the exact finish.
Does smoked oak flooring show scratches?
Light and vintage smoked oak hides everyday marks well. Very dark smoked floors show dust and fine scratches more, like any dark floor.
Is smoked oak suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes. Every engineered oak floor in our range, including the smoked floors, works over underfloor heating.
