TZ488 Natural Oiled Engineered Oak


Engineered Oak 150 × RL mm – Specification & Sample is designed for homeowners who want the look of a wider plank floor with the everyday stability of modern engineered construction. If you’re searching for engineered wood flooring that feels premium, warm and practical, the 150 mm width delivers a confident, contemporary proportion without losing the natural character that makes real oak so desirable.

The random length (RL) format is a key feature for this size. Random lengths create a more traditional staggered layout that looks authentic across open-plan ground floors, connected living spaces and longer London hallways. It also helps the floor feel less repetitive, which is exactly what many clients want when investing in a full-home oak installation.

150 mm wider boards: modern flow for open-plan London homes

A 150 mm plank is wide enough to feel high-end and spacious, but still balanced for most room sizes. It works beautifully in open-plan kitchen–dining areas, reception rooms and extensions where you want the flooring to create a calm “base layer” that pulls the whole interior together.

Customers comparing engineered oak flooring London often choose this width because it sits in the sweet spot: wide enough to show more grain and character, yet refined enough for properties where extra-wide boards could dominate the space.

Engineered construction: stability with central heating and changing humidity

This is a true engineered oak floor: a real oak wear layer bonded to a stable multi-layer core. That structure is designed to be more tolerant of seasonal movement than solid timber, which is particularly important in London and North London homes where central heating and humidity shifts are common.

Wider boards perform best when installed properly. A full-bond installation over a correctly prepared subfloor improves the feel underfoot, supports long-term performance, and helps the floor stay crisp through everyday use. This is why many customers searching for engineered wood installation and oak flooring fitters London pair their flooring choice with professional subfloor preparation and the correct adhesive system.

Random lengths: natural, staggered layout that looks less “manufactured”

The RL format gives the floor a more organic rhythm. Instead of identical board lengths repeating, you get a varied pattern that mimics traditional plank flooring and helps long runs look more relaxed and expensive. In open-plan spaces, random lengths help avoid visible “lines” that can make a room feel boxy.

This format is also useful for properties with lots of transitions—hallways into rooms, stair landings, and connected zones— because the layout adapts well and looks natural even where the floor changes direction.

Samples and advice: choose the right engineered wood flooring for your project

If you’re comparing plank widths, tones or finishes, ordering a sample helps you confirm the look in your lighting. Oak can read warmer or cooler depending on daylight, bulbs and surrounding colours, so checking a sample near your cabinetry, tiles and paint is always the best step.

Timberzone can advise on levelling, primers and adhesive selection so your engineered oak floor looks right and performs properly. For customers searching engineered wood flooring London, engineered oak plank flooring, and a wider-plank option that still feels refined, Engineered Oak 150 × RL mm is a strong specification for a premium, practical oak floor that works across real homes.
