Oak Floor Colors Based on 100% Natural Linseed Oil
At Uipkes we use 100% natural linseed oil to finish your oak floor in the desired color. We have developed 90 exclusive colors, so there is always a color that suits your interior.
The dimensions and wood sorting of the oak floorboards influence the appearance of the floor. For example, narrow floorboards make the oak floor busier and wide floorboards with many knots fit beautifully with a rural interior.
To create the desired effect, we offer you a wide choice of dimensions and wood grades.
Oak Floor With Underfloor heating
Oak wood in the form of engineered wood flooring can be easily combined with underfloor heating. Engineered wood flooring is a layered wooden floor. The floor consists of a layer of cross-glued waterproof birch plywood with a layer of solid oak on top.
The structure of engineered wood floors ensures that the heat from the underfloor heating can easily pass through the wood and that the wood hardly responds to fluctuations in temperature and moisture content.
One point of contact for the floor and Underfloor heating
At Uipkes we can install the underfloor heating and take care of the wooden floor. This means you have only one point of contact for your project and costs are lower.
