How oak floor color is created — the three methods

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.
