Real timber, considered design
Stourhead Oak Versailles is part of the Core Grain Palais collection, chosen for its decorative Versailles format, brushed surface and natural whitewashed colour character. Real oak brings variation that changes with the light and the materials around it. The framed geometry of Versailles parquet gives the floor a decorative focal point. Its panel format brings depth and structure to interiors inspired by traditional craftsmanship.
Natural character
Select grading gives a more uniform appearance while retaining the individuality of real timber. Subtle changes in grain and tone help the floor feel natural without relying on the stronger character of a rustic grade. View a physical sample in the room where the floor will be laid. Daylight, artificial lighting and neighbouring finishes all affect the way its colour is perceived.
Surface and finish
The oiled finish allows the grain to remain central to the appearance of the floor. Follow the product care instructions and use cleaning and maintenance products suitable for this finish. The requirements of an oiled timber surface differ from those of a lacquered floor, so keep the chosen care system consistent.
Engineered construction
The 14mm engineered construction includes a 3mm oak wear layer over a multi-ply base. The stated dimensions are 600mm wide × 600mm long × 14mm thick. Tongue & Groove joints form part of the installation system. Each pack covers 2.88m² before allowing for cuts and waste. Confirm the layout and required quantities with your fitter before ordering.
Planning and installation
The specified installation method is floating, nailed or glued down. A professional fitter should assess the subfloor and follow the product installation instructions. The floor is suitable for underfloor heating subject to those instructions and the requirements of the heating system. It is intended for domestic rooms except bathrooms. Allow for perimeter cuts and the waste associated with your chosen layout.
Choosing your Core Grain floor
Use the photographs to explore the design and confirm the appearance with a physical sample before making your final choice. Real wood naturally varies in grain and colour, so photographs cannot show every possible board. The product carries a 25-year warranty, subject to the applicable terms. Your Core Grain product code is CG-PAL-VS-087.
