Real timber, considered design
Thornbury Oak Plank is part of the Core Grain Tradition collection, chosen for its timeless plank format, brushed surface and natural colour character. Real oak brings variation that changes with the light and the materials around it. Straight planks let the grain of the timber lead the design. Their uninterrupted lines provide a versatile foundation for relaxed living spaces and more formal interiors.
Natural character
Rustic grading celebrates a more varied appearance, with the natural features of the timber contributing to the overall character. Variation between boards is part of the design rather than an identical printed repeat. 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 125mm wide × 300–1200mm long × 14mm thick. Tongue & Groove joints form part of the installation system. Each pack covers 1.8m² 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-TRA-PL-038.
