ENGINEERED SHIPWRECK
FRENCH OAK FLOORING

Shipwreck French Oak Flooring is engineered with Lifewood’s Stabilised Solid® technology, using three layers of genuine French Oak for strength and stability.

This cross-laminated structure reduces movement from humidity and temperature changes, making it ideal for Australian conditions. Unlike standard engineered floors, it allows multiple sanding and refinishing cycles for long-term durability.

CARING FOR YOUR SHIPWRECK
FRENCH OAK FLOORS

Shipwreck French Oak Flooring is low-maintenance and built for long-lasting performance.

Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional use of a timber-safe cleaner will keep it looking its best. Use felt pads under furniture, mats at entry points, and clean spills promptly to protect the surface.
