TZ500 UV Lacquered Engineered Oak | Plank Wood Flooring is a dependable, design-led floor from
Timberzone’s Woodline range, built for real London living. It’s the kind of finish customers choose when they
want a clean, contemporary oak look that doesn’t demand high-maintenance routines. The UV lacquer
provides a hard-wearing protective surface, helping the floor cope with everyday foot traffic in
hallways, open-plan living spaces and family kitchens.
This is a particularly strong option if you want a bright, neat wood floor that stays visually consistent from
board to board. The lacquered surface is smooth, easy to wipe and simple to maintain with regular vacuuming and
a suitable wood-floor cleaner. If you’re comparing finishes, lacquer tends to suit customers who prefer a
“fit-and-forget” feel—less frequent refresh work than many oiled systems, while still keeping the warmth and
authenticity of genuine oak.
Board size: 190 × 1900mm for a premium, flowing look
TZ500 is produced in a generous 190 × 1900mm plank format. Wider and longer boards help create a
calmer, more seamless appearance because you see fewer end joints across the floor. In open-plan layouts or
connected ground floors, this size gives a strong sense of continuity—ideal if you want the interior to feel
bigger, cleaner and more “architectural”.
The 190mm width is a balanced choice: wide enough to feel modern and premium, but still comfortable in many
London homes where rooms can vary in scale. Long planks can be especially effective running with the main light
source or along the longest wall to visually stretch the space. If your project includes a hallway flowing into
a lounge or extension, matching plank direction can make the entire footprint feel more cohesive.
Engineered construction: stability that suits central heating
TZ500 is a true engineered oak floor: a real oak wear layer bonded to a stable multi-layer core.
This construction helps reduce seasonal movement compared with solid wood, which is important in centrally heated
properties where humidity changes can cause boards to expand and contract more noticeably across the year.
A stable engineered build is also a practical advantage for busy households. It supports a more secure feel underfoot
when installed correctly and helps the floor maintain a flatter, more consistent appearance over time. For wide planks,
Timberzone typically recommends a professional installation approach that includes correct acclimatisation, proper subfloor
checks and the right bonding system—these details are what separate an “okay” finish from a floor that still looks sharp
years later.
Installation: glue-down for a solid, quiet result
For best performance—especially in larger spaces—TZ500 is ideally installed as a full-bond (glue-down)
floor onto a suitably prepared subfloor. Full bonding improves stability, reduces hollow sounds and helps long planks sit
flatter. This matters most in open-plan rooms, high-traffic walkways and areas where you want the floor to feel “solid”
rather than springy.
Subfloor preparation is key: levelling, moisture control (where needed) and the correct primer/adhesive system all affect
the end result. If you’re renovating, Timberzone can advise on what’s required after you’ve assessed the substrate—whether
that’s smoothing compounds, moisture management, or simply ensuring the base is clean, sound and suitable for bonding.
The goal is a crisp finish with tight lines, a stable feel, and a floor that performs properly in day-to-day life.
Samples, aftercare and choosing with confidence
Ordering a sample is the easiest way to confirm the tone and surface feel in your own lighting—daylight vs warm bulbs can
change how oak appears, especially alongside painted walls, cabinetry and soft furnishings. A sample also helps you check
how the floor pairs with your skirting, doors and furniture finishes before committing to the full order.
Because TZ500 is UV lacquered, ongoing care is straightforward: keep grit off the surface with regular
vacuuming, use felt pads under chairs, and clean with a suitable wood-floor cleaner (avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the
floor). This finish is chosen by customers who want a clean, modern look that stays consistent and doesn’t demand frequent
refresh work.
