Why choose Corsica Oak Cinder Oak

• Real 3mm French oak wear layer – genuine timber that can be re-sanded and refinished later in life.

• 5G Insta Clic® floating installation – boards click together over underlay with no glue.
• 25-year residential warranty from Godfrey Hirst, an Australian company since 1865.

Where it works best

Cinder Oak suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas, and can be laid over most existing hard floors. Engineered timber is not recommended for bathrooms or laundries. Its dark tone works best in bright, generous rooms and gives strong contrast to pale walls and light furniture.

Installation and care

Corsica Oak floats over a flat, dry subfloor on underlay. Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a well-wrung damp mop and a timber-floor cleaner; use felt pads under furniture and keep humidity moderate.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real timber?
Yes. The top layer is 3mm French oak bonded to a poplar plywood core – the same wood as a solid floor, with far better stability.

Can it be sanded and refinished?
Yes. A 3mm wear layer allows at least one full re-sand over the life of the floor.

How many boxes do I need?
Each box covers 2.17m². Measure your room area, add about 10% for cuts and wastage, and divide by 2.17.
