What about Unfinished European Oak

Bare, unfinished European Oak  is a greyish biscuit colour. The grain and depth of colour is completely transformed with a clear oil, wax or lacquer and a golden patina / colouring develops. This effect is enhanced with time and exposure to sunlight. The beautiful natural grey hues can be retained by specifying one of our natural finishes  - scroll down to view. This is our character Floor Sanding Merton flooring in another beautiful bathroom installation with a beautiful bespoke natural grey finish - basically a more accentuated natural looking (grey/white) stain  enhance the natural light grey hues and eliminates yellowing (associated with a clear oil / lacquer finish).

Solid and Engineered Wood Flooring

Solid wood flooring is a solid piece of wood from the top to the bottom. The thickness varies from ¾” to 5/16”. Those wood floors can be installed both above and on grade, and they can be sanded and refinished during its service life.

Snakewood - It’s easy to see what makes Snakewood so unique–its patterns and markings resemble the skin of a snake. Limited supply and high demand make this one of the most expensive woods on eart. 5. Verawood - Sometimes called Argentine Lignum Vitae, this wood is a gem: inexpensive, great olive-green color, beautiful feathery grain pattern, and it takes a great natural polish on the lathe. 6.
