Matt Lacquered rustic oak, Thick coats of matt drying lacquer varnish are applied over long wide boards to accentuate the smooth sanded hand filled rustic surface that is full of natural oak character. Giving the same robust feel under foot as a solid floor but with a far more economical use of the precious hardwood top layer. The planks use a thick wear layer of European oak and are backed on an ultra stable hardwood multi ply tongue & grooved base. Realising that traditional solid flooring was wasteful and more damaging to the environment, V4 Wood Flooring have pioneered the use of this type of flooring construction over the last decade.
