Tongue n Groove boards are unique. Unlike most engineered timbers, which are made of layers of ply under a timber facade, Tongue n Groove products are comprised of three layers of solid European oak.
Using state-of-the-art engineering methods, the layers are bonded together to provide exceptional stability and durability. Our unequalled solid 6mm wear layer, allows you to re-sand the board as many times as a traditional solid timber floor.
Available in six different formats, our European oak boards provide a wide range to choose from to create your own personalised look.
The straight boards are available in four sizes – the ‘Grande’ and ‘Massivo’ for larger format design requirements is heavier in weight while also larger in board dimension. The ‘Piccolo’ is smaller in board dimension and carries an overall lighter weight per unit.
In addition, our ‘Chevron Parquetry’ and ‘Herringbone Parquetry’ formats bring a harmonious fusion of old luxury and contemporary graphic charm to projects.
Our beautiful European oak boards are available in three distinct styles: Eterno is our classic option – perfect for creating a look that is chic, timeless and elegant – whilst Parquet brings a more traditional look and added charm to projects. Vecchio, meanwhile, is perfect if you’re after something slightly more rustic or lived-in, with its distressed hand-scraped finish ideal for adding character.
Each style is available in two sizes: The ‘Grande’ for larger format design requirements is heavier in weight while also larger in board dimension. The ‘Piccolo’ is smaller in board dimension and carries an overall lighter weight per unit.
Parquet originated in the Palace of Versailles in 1684 as a solid timber floor to replace marble.
Our engineered European Oak timber boards are a unique oversized design, creating a more contemporary play on the traditional timber flooring. This composition in either Chevron or Herringbone Parquet will give the room an appearance of more space while adding dimension and elegance.
Available in Grande and Piccolo.
At 220mm by 20mm thick, Grande is our most popular timber board. Our unequalled solid 6mm wear layer allows you to re-sand the board as many times as a traditional solid timber floor.

In order to maximise its longevity and preserve its beauty, it’s important to take good care of your Tongue n Groove European oak timber.
There are several simple steps that you can follow to protect your floor. Firstly, ensure that all your furniture has felt feet or protective pads and, for extra protection, use rugs or hall runners – particularly in heavy traffic areas. Regular sweeping will also prevent dirt and grit from wearing and scratching your floor.
For ground-in dirt use a purpose-specific timber floor cleaner and damp mop, ensuring you always wring the mop to avoid over-wetting the floor. (Over-wetting may alter the moisture balance of your Tongue n Groove timber product, which can lead to expansion and warping). And never use a general household cleaner as it may damage the surface seal.
Excessive exposure to sunlight and heat may cause fading and discolouration so make use of rugs, blinds and curtains to limit damage.
Air conditioning and extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity may also cause problems such as shrinking and cracking but a humidifier can help combat these problems. Please contact one of our consultants at [email protected] for further information.
Finally, unlike other engineered timber products, Tongue n Groove timber can be refinished if it becomes excessively damaged. For best results, we recommend sanding and polishing be carried out by a qualified trades person.
