Why are light oak floors so popular? It’s because they’re one of the most popular floor colours, and for a good reason. Light oak floors provide a calm base that makes them suitable for any interior style in the home. A floor in a light oak or untreated oak colour creates a neutral and warm ambiance in the home. Whether you want to create a cool, industrial style, prefer a Scandinavian interior, have fallen for a minimalist style, or are planning to create a hotel chic interior in six steps, a light oak floor is an ideal choice. It can be combined with any living style, making it the perfect foundation for any interior.

Should you treat vinyl or laminate flooring?

Does a vinyl floor need to be treated with oil? The answer is no. Laminate or vinyl flooring should never be treated with oil. However, an untreated Oak Parquet floor does need to be treated with oil immediately after installation. This can be a coloured oil for dark oak parquet floors or an invisible oil. When you choose untreated oak parquet in combination with transparent oil, the original and natural colour of the wooden floor is preserved.

So, what do the names of the Floer mean? The name of a Floer indicates the colour of the floor parts. If it says Untreated Oak next to vinyl or laminate flooring, then this indicates that the colour of the floorboards is the same as an untreated oak parquet floor.

Moreover, each Floer product name is carefully chosen to reflect something about the collection and its colour. For instance, the floors in the Reclaimed Wood Laminate collection have a varied, aged, and vintage appearance, as the name of the collection implies. In addition, the Country House Laminate floors feature a rustic design with knots in the oak pattern and a V-groove around the boards, which is reflected in the product title.

The love for light oak floors

Many customers prefer light floors as they can be combined with any living style and look natural in an untreated oak or light oak colour. If you desire the look of a real oak parquet floor but want to avoid the maintenance, vinyl or laminate flooring with light or untreated oak appearance is perfect for you! These floors require less maintenance and can be easily cleaned using a floor maintenance product, regular vacuuming, and a cleaning mat to prevent small stones and grains of sand from damaging the surface. After all, laminate, dryback vinyl, and rigid click vinyl floors are excellent options for those seeking low-maintenance flooring with a natural oak look.

In addition to light floors, such as the Floer collection of Authentic Laminate, there are many more colours to choose from! Natural oak floors are a popular choice among customers. Are you interested in a dark oak vinyl floor or a black vinyl floor? Floer has it all! In addition to oak floors, Floer also offers popular Tile Vinyl floors.
