Character grade oak floor interiors | Nature inside your home

Mar 22, 2022

Since we spend a great deal of time indoors, our surroundings are increasingly important for our well-being. Getting in touch with nature as much as possible is vital. Using wood is an easy way to bring nature inside and make our homes feel more welcoming. Installing Character grade>> oak floors adds depth and warmth into the space and allows you to interact with nature and benefit from the calming effect that wood has on the mind.

Popular choice

Wooden floors with plenty of character are becoming increasingly popular. The Character oak engineered floors remain among our top sellers.

Ecohardwood character grade engineered oak flooring has a natural appearance and displays the full characteristics of hardwood. The wood's natural beauty is enhanced by variations in colour and grain, tiny surface knots, cracks, wormholes and mineral streaks. Seeing the knots and grains in the wood brings us closer to nature.

Our company factory in Lithuania Ecowood engineered oak flooring offers high resistance to temperature fluctuations and moisture changes. It is even easier to maintain character grade oak wood floors since any new scratches and imperfections will blend in seamlessly.

Character grade colour options

The colour of the Character grade flooring you choose will be determined by the look you want to achieve. For example, our Silk, Ivory from our new range of colours is perfect for those in search of softness. Light colour wood floors >> help open up and enlarge any space and brighten up a dark room or add an extra touch of charm to a shabby chic or modern decor.

Dark oak wood floors >> look sophisticated and mysterious and are an excellent match for character grade. If cracks, large or small branches are covered with Ecohardwood Walnut, Ebony, Anthracite, Brown Coffee or brand-new Tobacco, it smooths contrast whilst maintaining a natural appearance.

Staying with natural wood colours like Natural Oak, Naturale, Dune, Cask or Light Nut is always a great idea if you want a more classic look.

Character grade finishes

Ecohardwood engineered oak flooring comes in 3 surface textures: sanded, brushed and cross brushed.

Oak floor brushed finish is achieved by brushing the surface with wire-brushed lengthwise. This technique highlights the grain's natural beauty and creates a beautiful, textured appearance on your new floor. From a practical perspective, it is important to mention that brushing gives extra hardness and durability to your engineered oak flooring, which will serve a lifetime. At the same time, brushed character oak flooring appears almost unaltered from its natural state. The brushed character grade engineered oak flooring is our best seller.
The term smooth (sanded) wood flooring refers to a flooring surface that has been sanded to produce a slick surface. The smooth finish gives the oak wood flooring a consistent appearance and feel.
One of the best finishes for character grade boards is the cross-brushed. The cross-brushed oak floor surface is achieved by brushing boards in 2 directions – lengthwise and widthwise, which gives a rusty distressed look and almost unbeatable hardness of oak flooring. It is the perfect choice for the country as well as industrial style interiors, commercial premises with high foot traffic like pubs, bars, restaurants, showrooms and similar.

I bought the floors for 1 of my project. They look amazing, worth every penny. The client is so happy with this flooring. Next projects will suggest to my clients to get this floor. Easy to install...One of the staff which I deal with ( name Renata ), was really helpful. Thank you Renata. Definitely recommend this flooring.

We recently purchased Ecohardwood engineered oak wood flooring in the Tobacco colour and we couldn’t be happier. The quality is excellent – well made, with a beautiful natural finish. We installed it throughout the whole house and it has completely changed the look and feel of the space, giving it a warm, modern and very natural feel. We did apply a premium hardwax oil, which enhanced the tone and added extra protection. We are extremely happy with our choice and would definitely recommend this floor to anyone looking for great quality and a timeless look.

We recently worked with Ecohardwood and Gode Interiors on a bespoke oak staircase project. Ecohardwood manufactured the staircase cladding and supplied high-quality oak components, which were beautifully crafted and delivered to a very high standard. The products were well prepared for installation, and the team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the project. We would be happy to recommend Ecohardwood to anyone looking for quality oak staircases, flooring, doors, and bespoke joinery.

We chose Ecohardwood having seen their engineered oak floors (Tobacco) in a friend's house. We found Irmantas a pleasure to deal with. We love the look and finish of the product and chose it in part because it works well with our underfloor heating. There were a few spillages by our builders but the Ecohardwood team have been very helpful in helping our builders to remedy these mistakes. Irmantas has remained very reassuring and calm! We fully recommend the product having lived in our house now for a few months. If I did it again I might use Ecohardwood to do the installation.

I recently visited the Ecohardwood showroom in West London and was genuinely impressed. It's beautifully designed and the quality of the products really stands out. Everything is made from real, natural oak and you can see the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The team were very friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for premium engineered wood flooring, made-to-measure oak doors or bespoke oak staircases, I'd definitely recommend visiting the showroom. It's well worth the trip and gives you a much better understanding of the products than looking online. Excellent service and beautiful quality throughout.
