TZ494 Invisible Finish Lacquered Matt Engineered Oak is designed for customers who want the look of
freshly sanded, natural oak—without a glossy shine. It’s a favourite choice for modern interiors because the
invisible matt lacquer keeps the timber looking clean and authentic while still offering an
easy-care, protective surface for everyday living.
In a generous 190 × 1900 mm plank format, TZ494 creates a calm, premium floor with fewer end joints
and a more seamless flow through open-plan spaces. If you’re searching for engineered oak flooring London,
wide plank wood flooring, or an invisible finish engineered oak that feels high-end but practical,
this specification is a strong option.
190mm wide plank: a modern, spacious look
A 190 mm plank instantly makes rooms feel larger and more architectural. It’s wide enough to show off
oak grain and natural movement, but still balanced for most London homes—especially when you want the flooring to run
continuously from hallway to reception and into a kitchen extension.
The 1900 mm length reduces the number of end joints you see, which is exactly what creates that “premium
showroom” look. This format suits apartments, renovated period properties and contemporary builds where a clean, long-line
floor makes the whole interior feel more considered.
Invisible matt lacquer: natural oak tone with day-to-day protection
An invisible finish is about keeping oak looking like oak. Rather than warming the colour heavily or adding
noticeable sheen, the finish is designed to preserve a pale, natural timber appearance. The result is a floor that pairs
beautifully with modern kitchens, light colour palettes, warm whites and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
Because this is a lacquered matt surface, it’s also a sensible choice for busy homes. It helps resist everyday
marks and makes routine cleaning straightforward. If you love the “bare wood” look but want practical maintenance, an invisible
lacquer is often the best compromise.
Engineered construction for stability and performance
TZ494 is a true engineered wood flooring product—built with a genuine oak wear layer bonded to a stable core.
That engineered build is chosen to handle the real conditions found in London and North London homes: central heating, temperature
swings and changing humidity.
For best results, this type of wide plank is typically installed as a full-bond (glue-down) floor over a correctly
prepared subfloor. Full bonding improves stability, reduces hollow sounds, and creates a solid feel underfoot—especially important
with long, wide planks. If you’re comparing engineered oak installation options, the subfloor preparation and adhesive
system are what make the finished result look crisp and stay reliable long-term.
Where TZ494 works best and how to choose confidently
TZ494 Invisible Finish Lacquered Matt Engineered Oak is well suited for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and open-plan
spaces where you want a calm, continuous floor that feels premium. It can also be compatible with many underfloor heating systems when installed
in line with manufacturer guidance.
If you’re choosing between finishes, order a sample and check it in your own lighting. Invisible finishes can read slightly different depending on
daylight direction and the warmth of your bulbs. Place the sample next to cabinetry, tiles and wall colours, then view it in both daylight and evening
light to make sure you love the tone.
