Engineered oak flooring is available in a wider range of colors than most buyers and specifiers expect — from the palest natural white-toned oak to near-black, with grey, amber, golden and brown tones in between.

All colors listed below are available in chevron, herringbone and straight board formats — in Select, Classic and Rustic grades. Direct factory supply from Lithuania to architects, interior designers, developers and flooring contractors across Europe.

Understanding how color is applied to engineered oak is important for specification — it affects both the visual result and long-term maintenance.
UV oil (natural colors) — transparent oil applied and UV-cured at the factory. Protects the wood without altering its natural color. Used for Bisquit, Spring Honey, Silver Grey, Grey Shadow and Winter Forest. The natural oak tone is the floor color.
Pigmented color oil — oil with added color pigment applied and UV-cured at the factory. The color is in the oil layer. Used for Bronzo (brown), Lava (black) and other color-treated finishes. Sanding removes the color — re-oil with the matching color oil to restore.
Ammonia smoking — the oak is exposed to ammonia vapour before finishing, which reacts with the wood's natural tannins to produce a color change. Used as the base for Nastro, Cappuccino, Bronzo, Assoluto and other smoked finishes. The oil finish then adds the final color tone. For full surface and finishing details see the Oak Parquet Surface & Finishing Guide.

Natural colors (Bisquit, Spring Honey) show the true oak tone — UV oil adds protection without changing color. Smoked colors (Nastro, Cappuccino, Assoluto) use ammonia smoking as a base, with color oil applied over. The color is in the oil layer and is removed when sanded.
Winter Forest (pale white), Bisquit (natural pale) and Silver Grey (cool neutral grey) are the most commonly specified colors for Scandinavian interiors — pale tones maximise light, cool greys complement clean minimalist aesthetics.
