Decka Plank Maine

More than just wood:

Decka Plank Maine was named after the American state, for its sustainability and traditional natural appeal. As Maine is known for its rich heritage in industries such as fishing, forestry, and craftsmanship and also has a commitment to sustainability, particularly in industries like forestry and seafood.

The distinctive knots and honey colouring of our Decka Plank Maine give this floor a charming character that will bring a truly unique look to a home. The wider planks can make rooms appear more spacious and can showcase the natural beauty of the oak wood grain more prominently.

Oak is a versatile species that takes pigments very well, so it lends itself well to pre-sealed flooring. The physical characteristics that give Oak its charm are still visible through the finish, so this floor has a naturally charming character and can be matched with the desired design scheme.

Our engineered wood flooring meets modern requirements and keeps a traditional wood flooring appearance. The multiple layers of plywood backing give support to the visible top layer of the precious hardwood, resulting in a floor that looks and feels like a solid wood floor but that is suitable for under floor heating, can be laid over almost all types of sub floor, and can still be sanded and re-finished after years of use. Quality engineered oak flooring, when properly maintained, can last for many years, making it a durable and long-term investment for your home. Additionally, the timeless appeal and enduring popularity of oak can enhance the resale value of your property.

Wide plank flooring, such as the 220mm wide engineered oak boards, can create a visually stunning effect in interior spaces. The wider planks can make rooms appear more spacious and can showcase the natural beauty of the oak wood grain more prominently.

Our engineered board has been produced using multi ply backing, manufactured to European standard EN 326-2. The adhesive used to bond the board is an E1 category, PUR adhesive (formaldehyde free) to DIN/EN 14257 and DIN/EN 204 low emission glue which is heat and water resistant in accordance with BS EN 14342:2005+A1. The top layer is kiln dried to between 8-12% moisture content.

The formaldehyde emissions are: 0,01 ppm, pentachlorophenol emissions: <0.8 mg/kg.
Thermal conductivity (W/mK) is 0,10W/mK.

Suitable for secret fixing to ply, battens or joist subfloor, floating on an underlay or a fully bonded installation to a screed subfloor. The board is supplied with a micro bevel along the length of the board, factory Oiled ready to use

Engineered: 2 part Engineered floor with a Hardwood top surface bonded to a multilayer waterproof Birch Plywood. Boards can be Nailed, Stuck Down, or Floated depending on product type and sub floor. Parquet woodblocks must be stuck down. All floors are Tongue and Groove with Ends Matched unless stated otherwise.

Floating: A floating floor is not physically connected to the sub floor. Normally laid on an underlay, the floor is joined by gluing the tongue and groove together or by using a click system.

Micro Bevelled: Micro Bevelled means a very small v shape can be seen on the long sides of the boards. The ends have no bevel.

Nail Fitting: Nail fixing is usually done via a nail gun, e.g. Porta-Nailer, where a serrated nail is inserted through the tongue at 45 degrees.

Pre-Oiled: This product is supplied with a Factory UV Oiled surface. Oakley Products recommends that an additional coat of oil is applied to the surface prior to regular use.

Stick Down: Sticking involves the use of an adhesive to bond the wood flooring to either a concrete/screed sub floor or to a ply/chipboard sub floor.

Under Floor Heating: This product is compatible for use over an electric or water under floor heating system. The maximum temperature must not exceed 27 degrees Celsius at the floor surface.
