ParadorBasic 11-5 CollectionNature Oak 3-Strip

Nature Oak 3-Strip brings a clean, naturally light oak look to any room. The 3-strip effect creates gentle visual interest without fuss, whilst the matt lacquer finish keeps it understated. This is a real-wood feel without the maintenance headaches of solid timber.

Engineered wood flooring here sits on a multi-ply base, making it stable across temperature and humidity shifts. You get a 2.5mm wear layer of genuine oak, thick enough to handle everyday wear and the odd refinish down the line.

Where it works

Suits living spaces, kitchens, dining rooms, hallways and bedrooms. Works in offices and utility rooms too. The matt finish hides dust and marks better than gloss, and the light oak tone fits most colour schemes. Not waterproof, so keep it away from direct splashes and standing water.

Installation and underlay

Click installation means no glue, no mess. Floats over a suitable subfloor with underlay beneath, which you’ll need to order separately. Underfloor heating works with this product, so you can warm up from below if your home has it fitted.

Looking after it

Wipe up spills straight away. Vacuum or sweep regularly, and mop with a damp cloth when needed. Avoid standing water and wet mops. The Parador Basic 11-5 range comes with a 15-year guarantee, covering manufacturing defects and normal domestic use.
