TZ486 Grey Brushed Engineered Oak 125 × RL is a calm, modern plank floor created for customers who want a
clean interior look without losing the authenticity of real wood. If you’re searching for
engineered wood flooring London or engineered oak flooring North London, TZ486 is designed to
sit comfortably in real homes—hallways, living rooms, open-plan kitchens and renovation projects where you want the flooring to
feel refined, consistent and easy to live with.
The 125 mm width is a balanced “in-between” proportion: premium enough to look contemporary, but not so wide that
it overwhelms smaller rooms or narrow corridors. The random length (RL) format adds a natural, traditional plank feel,
helping larger areas look relaxed and less repetitive—ideal for London properties where the floor often runs through multiple rooms
and you want the layout to flow.
Grey brushed finish: modern tone, real grain texture
The “Grey Brushed” look in TZ486 Grey Brushed Engineered Oak is all about balance: a cooler tone that
suits contemporary schemes, paired with a brushed surface that lifts the oak grain so the floor still feels like timber—not flat or
printed. In real lighting, brushing helps the character come through, and it can also make everyday marks less noticeable than a perfectly
smooth surface.
Grey oak works especially well with warm whites, soft greiges, modern black accents, stone finishes and minimalist kitchens. For clients
comparing grey engineered oak flooring or brushed engineered wood flooring in London, TZ486 gives you a
clean architectural feel while still keeping warmth and texture in the room.
125 mm plank width + random lengths: a safe proportion for most rooms
The 125 × RL specification is a strong choice when you want a plank floor that feels timeless. The 125 mm width sits neatly between
narrow traditional boards and extra-wide planks—meaning it works in period homes, apartments and extensions without dominating the space. Random lengths
help break up long runs, which is useful in open-plan ground floors and connected layouts where you don’t want the eye to catch the same repeating pattern.
If you’re comparing engineered oak plank flooring options, this proportion is a reliable “all-rounder” for hallways, living areas and
bedrooms. It keeps the room looking calm, and it supports a clean furniture layout—especially in London homes where rooms can be compact or multifunctional.
Engineered construction: built for stability, comfort and long-term performance
TZ486 Grey Brushed Engineered Oak is built as a true engineered wood floor, using a real oak wear layer bonded to a stable multi-layer
core. This construction is designed to cope better with central heating and seasonal humidity changes than solid wood—an important factor in London and
North London properties where temperature swings and day-to-day living can influence timber movement.
For the best result, engineered plank floors are commonly installed as a full-bond floor over a correctly prepared subfloor. Full bonding
improves the solid feel underfoot, reduces hollow sounds, and supports long-term performance—especially in busy family spaces. If you’re looking for
engineered wood flooring supply and installation in London, Timberzone can advise on preparation, levelling requirements, primers and
adhesive selection so the floor looks sharp and performs as intended.
Samples, showroom advice and choosing the right engineered wood flooring
Choosing a grey floor is all about lighting. Daylight, warm bulbs and evening light can change how grey reads—sometimes cooler, sometimes warmer—so we
always recommend ordering a sample of TZ486 Grey Brushed Engineered Oak 125 × RL before committing. Place it next to your cabinetry,
tiles, paint colours and fabrics, then check it at different times of day to confirm the tone and texture.
If you want hands-on guidance, you’re welcome to visit the Timberzone showroom in East Finchley to compare panels, discuss engineered wood
flooring specifications, and plan the right installation approach for your project. Whether you’re searching for engineered wood flooring London,
engineered oak flooring North London, or a modern plank floor with a calm grey finish, TZ486 is a strong option for a clean, design-led result
that still looks and feels like real oak.
