Prestige Oak Engineered Timber Flooring
Prestige Oak is Preference Floors' engineered European Oak, and Adore now stocks it in two builds on the same 1900 x 190mm plank. The 15/4mm board carries a 4mm genuine European Oak wear layer over a 15mm engineered base, packed 1.805m2 to a carton in five planks. The 14/2mm click board carries a 2mm wear layer over a 14mm base, 2.166m2 to a carton in six, and has its own twelve-colour palette.
The 4mm wear layer is what you pay for on the 15/4mm. It is deep enough to sand back and recoat two or three times across the life of the floor, which no laminate or hybrid can do at any price and which the 2mm board is not built for.
Twenty three colours at 15/4mm. Avola Natural, Pure Natural, Vanilla, White Sands, Marble, Straw and Sauvignon sit at the pale end. Latte, Tan, Limewash, Riesling and Parana hold the middle. Espresso, Ebony and Dark Brown are the darkest. The grey family runs through Castle Grey, Chateau Grey, Colonial Grey, Heritage Grey, Iron Grey, Grey Mist, Grey Wash and Storm.
Nineteen of those colours are stocked in both profiles, tongue and groove and click, and you choose which at checkout on the colour page. Tongue and groove can be direct stuck or floated and is the quieter, more solid result. Click is a floating install and the faster lay. Castle Grey, Dark Brown, Grey Mist and Iron Grey are tongue and groove only. Cartons are packed as set lengths plus roughly 30% nested shorter planks, so allow for that when calculating a job. Timber grade is ABCD, Janka hardness runs 5.5 to 6.0kN, and moisture content sits around 7 to 10%.
The finish is UV-cured European polyurethane in a superior matte, with a light wire brush on selected colours, and it is backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty with 20 years on the finish. It suits all internal areas except wet rooms, so not bathrooms, laundries or WCs.
European Oak is a natural material. Mineral streaks, knots and variation between boards and between batches are the character of the timber rather than a fault, which is why we recommend seeing it laid before choosing and ordering all the material for a job at once. Preference also produce a 21mm Prestige Oak board at 2200 x 220mm with a 6mm wear layer, which we do not stock but can quote on request.
Supply and install across Sydney, supply only for DIY, or supply with support for your own installer. Free measure and quote available.

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...

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...
