Oak is the most popular species for floors and furniture in Europe and the USA due to its lovely appearance and long life. An Oak can live for up to 1,000 years in favourable conditions and possesses a straight long graining with a silvery texture.

Oak can be processed easily to give numerous colour tones, and is available in lacquered or oiled finishes. The light brown to darker tones of Oak undergoes a medium degree of colour change with slight ambering over time.
