Limewash is a warm golden oak with white pulled through the grain: the traditional limed finish, where pale pigment sits in the open pores and leaves the surface reading both warm and softened at once. Liming is an old technique...

Latte is a warm mid golden-brown: a tobacco-toned oak with even grain and a settled, unfussy character. It is the middle of the warm range: deeper than Tan, lighter than Dark Brown, and without the olive cast of Chestnut. Mid...

Iron Grey is a mid-dark smoky grey-brown with strong plank-to-plank variation: some boards reading almost charcoal, others distinctly brown, with a wire-brushed surface that gives the floor texture as well as colour. It is the darkest grey in the Prestige...

Heritage Grey is the most characterful board in the Prestige Oak range, and the name undersells it badly. It is not a grey floor. It is a deliberately mixed board where dark chocolate, golden honey and mid-brown planks sit side...

Grey Mist is a pale, soft grey-beige: a gently greyed oak with low contrast and quiet grain, the lightest of the true greys in the Prestige Oak range. Pale greys are the easiest timber floors to furnish around, because almost...

Espresso is worth looking at properly, because the name sets the wrong expectation. It is not a dark coffee brown. It is a warm mid golden-amber oak, closer to honey than to anything espresso-coloured, with rich flowing grain and real...

Ebony is the darkest board in the Prestige Oak range: a near-black oak with a faint purple-brown undertone and grain still readable through the depth of the stain. This is the most dramatic floor here, and it is genuinely striking...

Dark Brown is a deep chocolate oak: rich and warm, with strong grain running visibly through the depth of colour rather than disappearing into it. Dark timber floors are a commitment worth being clear about. In a room with generous...

Castle Grey is a mid grey-brown with pronounced variation from board to board: some planks lean brown, others distinctly grey, and the wire-brushed surface catches light differently across the floor. That variation is the point. A greyed timber floor with...

Avola Natural is European Oak left to look like itself: a bright golden honey tone with clean flowing grain and no stain pushing it warmer or cooler. It is the most natural-looking board in the Prestige Oak range and the...

Viennese is the richest board in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range: a deep golden amber with real saturation and flowing grain, closer to oiled timber than to anything pale or greyed. It is the boldest colour choice in this tier...

Robusta is a pale mauve-greige with a slightly deeper, more grounded tone than the other soft neutrals in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range, still light, but with a little more presence. That extra depth is useful. The very palest boards...

Raggio is a very pale pink-cream: the lightest warm board in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range, with a soft blush cast and almost no visible grain contrast. Where Bianco is cool and near-white, Raggio carries enough warmth to keep a...

Pastel is a pale pink-mauve greige: the softest and most delicate board in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range, with barely any grain contrast and a gentle blush cast. Very soft floors like this suit rooms meant to feel calm: bedrooms,...

NSW Spotted Gum is a warm golden-amber board with the honey and soft brown variation that makes the species recognisable: the only Australian hardwood look in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range, which is otherwise built around European oak tones. Spotted...

Misto is a warm golden honey oak: clean, bright and evenly grained, one of the two genuinely golden boards in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range. Golden oak is the traditional Australian floor and it dates less than any other tone....

Kaldi is the most distinctive board in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range: a weathered grey-green with a soft sage cast and visible striation, and the only genuinely green-toned floor in the Bass Timber catalogue. Green-grey is an unusual choice and...

Crema is a pale warm greige-tan: soft, gently sandy and low in contrast, the warmest of the pale neutrals in the 10mm Hybrid Plus range. Warm pale floors are the most forgiving of the light options. The sandy cast keeps...
