Swish Oak Contemporary Engineered Oak Flooring

Swish Oak Contemporary is the entry point into Eco Flooring Systems' engineered oak: a 14mm board with a 2mm European oak wear layer, cut to a generous 190 x 1900mm plank. Six decors.

Two millimetres is the thinnest oak veneer of the Swish engineered oak ranges, and it is the defining trait. What you get is a genuine oak floor rather than a printed lookalike, with real grain and real depth, at a sensible cost. What it will not do is take as many full sandbacks over its life as a thicker veneer would. We are not going to put a number on how many times it can be refinished, because that depends on the installer, the machine and how much material comes off each pass. If repeated future resanding is central to your plan, Swish Oak Natura at 3mm or Wideboard at 4mm are the ranges to look at.

Finished in matt UV lacquer with micro-bevelled edges and a tongue and groove profile. It can be floated over acoustic underlay or direct glued to the subfloor, which makes it workable over both timber and concrete. In a strata apartment the floating option usually makes acoustic compliance easier to achieve.

Packs cover 2.90m2 over eight boards at roughly 22kg. Rated E1 at less than 5ppm for formaldehyde.

Engineering the board concentrates slow-growing oak where it is actually used, on the surface, rather than through the full thickness. The boards must be delivered and acclimatised in the room before installation begins. Real timber varies board to board and keeps shifting tone as it ages under light, particularly through the first year. Sydney supply and install, supply only, or bring your own installer.
