Tuscan big earth distressed Oak is most definitely in my top 3 favourites of all time. It is just so beautiful with its rich dark but still glossy shine, though as I said in my previous post, I do lean towards darker woods.
The Mckay Flooring websites says of distressed Oak:
“Hand distressed flooring gives you the best of both worlds.Totally fashionable the dark exotic tones work so well in contemporary interiors. The hand scraped hand distressed look gives you the feel of something precious and time worn.Something beautiful to be treasured”
The Janka rating for Oak is 1360. Janka rating being the force required to embed an 11.28 millimetre (0.444 inch) steel ball into wood to half its diameter; the universal indicator of a wood’s hardness.
1360 means that Tuscan Oak is about the middle of the road, not as hard as Mahogany or Teak, nor as soft as Pine and Fir. This makes Oak one of the most popular and commonly used floors both in the commercial sector. It is a chicken and egg issue, but there is also a wider range of oak products on the market; do they make more flooring products because it is most popular, or is it most popular because of the wider choice?
As for Tuscan distressed Oak it is also one of the best products in terms of affordability and value for money. You can currently buy Tuscan distressed Oak wood flooring from Mckay Flooring for £75.04 per pack. This sounds expensive, especially when you start multiplying it to cover a room-sized area, but when you consider that it will last a lifetime, compared to carpets which are constantly in need of replacing, then you can see the value for money.
