Spotted Gum here is a mid warm brown with a reddish cast and strong striping through the grain: a fair reading of the species, which runs honey through amber to mid brown with far more plank-to-plank variation than oak. It...

Silk Grey is the true grey of the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range: a mid cool grey with clear striation running the length of the board and no warmth pulling it towards beige. If you want a floor that...

Sierra Oak is the warmest of the pale boards in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range: a light blonde-tan with a smooth, even grain and very little tonal shift between planks. Set beside Alpine Mist it carries a touch...

Natural is exactly what the name promises: a light warm tan-beige oak with open knots and honest grain movement, the look of an untinted board with a clear coat over it. It is the most characterful of the pale colours...

Hickory is the straightforward warm mid-tone in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range: a brown-tan with genuine warmth and an even, unfussy grain that does not compete with anything else in the room. It is the colour people land...

Delta Sand is not the warm sandy tone the name implies. It is a pale cool grey-white with a faint lilac cast: among the coolest boards in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range, and a genuinely different proposition to...

Clove is cooler than the name suggests. Rather than the warm spice brown you might picture, it is a muted mid grey-brown: the grey holding the warmth in check and keeping it from going orange in afternoon light. That makes...

Blackbutt in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range is a light warm golden-tan with a soft, even grain: a restrained and fairly convincing take on the species, closer to how Australian blackbutt actually lays than the heavily saturated golden-amber...

Bedrock is the richest board in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range: a mid-dark warm brown with genuine depth in the grain and a good deal of tonal movement from plank to plank. It is the colour to choose...

Arctic Fox is the palest board in the Preference Floors Oakleaf HD Plus range: a near-white cream with only the faintest grain showing through and almost no tonal shift between planks. It is the floor to choose when you want...

Alpine Mist is a light warm blonde-beige oak: a clean, bright board with soft grain movement and a gentle sandy cast, bright enough to open up a room without the coldness of a true white-grey. It is the most broadly...

White Sands is a light greige oak with a wire-brushed surface, pale and cool-leaning, with the brushing raising the grain so the floor has texture you can feel as well as see. The brushed finish is what separates it from...

Vanilla is a soft pale greige-beige: a gently warmed neutral with smooth, even grain and low contrast, sitting almost exactly between the warm blondes and the cool greys in the Prestige Oak range. That middle position is what makes it...

Tan is a light-to-mid golden oak with scattered knots, warmer and a shade deeper than Straw, with the same natural character but a little more colour in it. It sits in the most useful part of the range. Light enough...

Straw is a pale natural oak with open knots, light, warm and unstained, closer to raw timber than to anything finished, with the grain and natural marks left clearly visible. It is the most honest-looking board in the Prestige Oak...

Storm is a mid grey-brown with a cool, even cast: less variation than Castle Grey, less depth than Iron Grey, and the most restrained of the greyed boards in the Prestige Oak range. Restraint is its value. Where the heavily...

Parana is a light warm greige-tan with open knots and visible character: a pale board that has not been sanitised, where the natural marks of the timber are left on show. That combination is more useful than it sounds. Pale...

Marble is the palest board in the Prestige Oak range: a very light white-grey with the faintest warm cast and grain so soft it barely registers from standing height. A floor this pale is a design decision rather than a...
