ParadorBasic 11-5 CollectionOak Chianti Light Whitewashed

This whitewashed oak brings a Scandinavian lightness to your home. The pale, creamy tones of Oak Chianti Light Whitewashed sit well in bright rooms and modern schemes alike. Its matt lacquered finish keeps the wood’s natural grain visible without shine. Wide planks at 185mm create calm, easy-to-read floor lines.

The click system makes fitting straightforward. Planks lock together without glue, cutting installation time and mess. The engineered construction means it sits well over underfloor heating if your home has it. You’ll need a standard underlay beneath.

Where it works

Kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, halls, bedrooms, offices and utility rooms all suit this light, warm tone. It pairs well with pale walls and natural daylight. The character grade means you’ll see knots and grain variation, which adds visual depth rather than reads as flaws.

Installation and care

The floating click system sits on top of your subfloor once underlay is down. No adhesive needed. Underfloor heating works with this engineered wood, so you can use it over a warm subfloor.

The matt lacquered finish needs only a light dusting and occasional damp-mopping. Wipe spills promptly. Avoid pooling water or heavy steam. The 2.5mm wear layer protects well in normal household use.
