THE ELEGANCE OF BLACK FOREST OAK FLOORING
French Oak flooring has an elegance that is hard to find in any other flooring product. It’s appeal hasn’t diminished over the years, and with the development of Lifewood’s extra long and extra wide floorboards, it is now in even higher demand.
French Oak is generally considered to be superior to other oak varieties: it has a higher tannin content, which in turn gives more colour variety; it has a tighter grain structure, meaning it is far more dense and it’s also a more stable timber, perfectly suited for Australia’s harsh climate.
