Parquet made of oak with a brushed structure looks particularly smart
Oak is still one of the most popular types of wood for flooring. That is why oak parquet is also very popular. Brushed oak is particularly beautiful. The easy installation of brushed oak parquet is also a real boon, thanks to the practical click connection.
Brushed oak parquet – the special features
Oak is worked with the brush in the direction of growth until all parts of the soft wood have been removed. This makes the distinctive grain much more visible. Since there are no more soft wood particles on the surface, the brushed oak parquet is very solid and therefore also hard-wearing.
After brushing, the surface is oiled or varnished to seal it, preventing penetration by dirt and humidity.
Oak parquet in different finishes at planeo
Oak wood comes in different shades, from light to dark, depending on the natural growth of the oak. Sealing with oil or varnish can result in additional colouring. Other design features include the widths of the parquet planks. In addition to the 1-strip country style, there is also the 3-strip ship's floor. The brushed oak ship's floor parquet is very suitable for smaller rooms. In any case, a visually appealing oak parquet with a brushed structure can be found for every living room. Such flooring also looks very decorative in offices.
Easily installed
Since oak parquet is made from natural wood, it has pleasantly warm and cushioning properties. You won’t need to install impact sound insulation under the parquet floor. However, you should not do without a vapour barrier; this can easily be laid on the subfloor. The vapour barrier should be folded up a little against the walls so that fits behind the skirting boards.
The parquet floorboards are then laid out starting at one wall. A distance of ten millimetres should be maintained from all walls so that the parquet can adapt to the temperatures by swelling. The individual boards of brushed oak parquet are simply joined together using a practical click system.
