Coffee Oak Chevron - 14/3mm Corsica Engineered Timber Flooring

Coffee Oak is cooler than the name suggests. It is a smoked grey-brown rather than a warm coffee, heavily brushed, with strong open grain and dark knots that carry right through the board. It is the darkest and most dramatic of the four Godfrey Hirst Corsica Chevron colours, and it wants a room with light to spare: in a smaller or south-facing space it will close things in. Against pale walls, brass and stone it is one of the best-looking floors we stock.

This is a true chevron, not a herringbone. The boards are cut at an angle so their ends meet in a continuous unbroken point down the room, which is why they come as matched left and right pairs. It is also genuine engineered timber, not a printed look: a 3mm French Oak veneer over a 14mm multiply substrate, finished in matte UV cured lacquer with a light brush. That 3mm veneer is the part worth paying for. It can be sanded back and recoated two or three times across the life of the floor, which no hybrid, laminate or vinyl can do at any price.

Godfrey Hirst back it with a 25 year timber limited residential warranty, and the veneer is PEFC Chain of Custody certified, so the timber is traceable to sustainably managed forests, which means something on a real timber floor in a way it cannot on a printed one. P4 slip rating under AS 4586, Green Building Council compliant for VOC emission limits, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing. Boards are delivered at 8-11% moisture content and should be acclimatised on site before laying.

Chevron set-out takes longer to lay than a straight plank floor and the starting line has to be right, so it is worth having installed rather than attempted as a first project. Supply and install available across Sydney. Get in touch for a measure and quote.
