TZ498 Mocha Oak Brushed Matt Lacquered Engineered Oak is designed for customers who want a
richer, warmer oak tone with a modern, clean finish that still feels natural in real light. “Mocha”
sits in that perfect middle ground between a classic brown oak and a softer, contemporary tone—ideal
if you want more depth than a pale oak, but without the heaviness of very dark floors.
With a 190 × 1900 mm board format, TZ498 creates long, continuous lines across the room,
reducing the amount of visible end joins and helping spaces feel more seamless. It’s a popular choice
for open-plan living, hallways, bedrooms and reception rooms where you want that premium wide-plank
look that makes interiors feel larger and more connected.
190mm wide + 1900mm long: the “premium plank” effect
A 190mm wide plank is one of the easiest ways to give a property a more architectural,
high-end finish. Wide boards feel calmer underfoot because there are fewer lines breaking up the
surface. That calmness is what makes wide planks work so well in modern interiors and renovated
period homes.
The 1900mm length takes the look further by reducing end joints across the floor.
In practical terms, that means a cleaner visual run from one area to the next—perfect for London
layouts where you might have a hallway leading into an open-plan kitchen–dining space or a rear
extension. Long boards help everything feel like one considered design rather than separate rooms.
Brushed texture: depth, grip, and real oak character
The brushed surface treatment gently lifts the grain, giving the oak more texture
and definition. This makes the floor look richer and more “real” in everyday lighting, and it also
helps hide small day-to-day marks better than an ultra-smooth surface would.
Brushed finishes are a great match for family homes because they’re forgiving. The texture adds
subtle grip underfoot and brings out the variation in the timber so the floor looks authentic rather
than flat or overly uniform. If you like a floor that feels premium but still practical, brushed
engineered oak is usually the best balance.
Matt lacquer: modern look, easy upkeep
TZ498 uses a matt lacquer finish, which gives you that contemporary “natural” look
while offering a strong protective surface for everyday life. A matt lacquer is ideal if you want an
easy-care finish that’s simple to clean and resistant to typical household wear.
The advantage of a matt sheen is that it keeps the floor looking calm and design-led. It won’t look
glossy or reflective, so it works beautifully with modern kitchens, warm neutral walls, greige tones,
stone worktops, black detailing and softer minimalist interiors. The mocha tone adds warmth and depth
so the space still feels inviting rather than cold.
Engineered performance + fitting guidance
As a true engineered oak floor, TZ498 combines a real oak wear layer with a stable
core construction. This engineered build helps reduce seasonal movement compared to solid wood—an
important benefit in centrally heated homes where temperature and humidity can change through the year.
For wide planks like 190 × 1900mm, a full-bond (glue-down) installation
is commonly recommended on a correctly prepared subfloor. Full bonding improves stability, reduces
hollow sounds, and helps long boards stay flatter over time—especially in open-plan spaces and
high-traffic areas.
TZ498 can be compatible with many underfloor heating systems when installed to manufacturer guidance.
Ordering a sample is the best way to confirm the mocha tone in your own lighting (daylight vs warm
bulbs can change how brown tones read). Use the buttons below to order a sample and view the full
specifications, and if you want a tailored supply-and-install quote in London or North London, Timberzone
can advise on subfloor prep, primers, levelling and adhesive systems for a crisp finish.
