Cotswold Natural Brushed 125mm Engineered Oak Wood Flooring

Cotswold Natural Brushed 125mm is a pale-to-mid natural oak — honey-blonde, with open knots and the look of timber left largely as it came off the saw. The brushing lifts the grain so you feel the texture underfoot, and the UV lacquer protects it without adding gloss or colour.

Real oak, properly built

This is a 14/3mm engineered board: a genuine 3mm oak wear layer bonded to a multi-ply core. The 3mm veneer is what matters — it is thick enough to be sanded and refinished at least twice, so this is a floor with decades in it rather than one you replace. The engineered construction is far more stable than solid oak across changes in heat and humidity, which is why it works over underfloor heating where solid timber does not.

Choosing a width

At 125mm this is the narrower of the two Cotswold plank widths. Narrow boards suit smaller rooms, period properties and anywhere you want a more traditional, closer-set look. The 190mm version gives a broader, more contemporary board.

Installation

Random lengths mean less repetition and a more natural finished floor, but they need setting out thoughtfully. Acclimatise the boards in the room for 48–72 hours before fitting, leave an expansion gap at every perimeter, and allow around 10% for cuts and waste. Professional fitting recommended.

Also available

Natural Brushed is also available as a 190mm plank and as herringbone blocks.
