ParadorBasic 11-5 CollectionOak Chianti Natural

Oak Chianti Natural brings a soft, natural warmth to your home. The brushed, oiled finish catches the light without gloss, letting the wood’s gentle grain speak for itself. Wide 185mm planks set a calm, spacious feel that suits living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and hallways alike. You get the real-wood look and feel without the demands of solid oak.

This is engineered construction, which means it stays stable through temperature swings and works over underfloor heating. The multi-ply core holds its shape where solid wood might move. A 2.5mm wear layer gives you years of everyday use, and the bevelled edges add subtle definition between planks.

Where it works

Fit this across bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, halls, offices and utility spaces. The engineered build handles the moisture and temperature shifts that kitchens and utilities throw at flooring. It’s not waterproof, so wipe spills promptly, but everyday kitchen life is well within its scope.

Installation

Click-lock system with floating installation, so no glue required. Lay it over the Parador Basic 11-5 underlay specified, which you’ll need to order separately. The floating method works over underfloor heating, making it ideal if you have a heated subfloor in place.

Looking after it

Brush and vacuum regularly to catch grit. Damp-mop with a wrung-out cloth and wood-specific cleaner when needed. Avoid standing water and excess moisture. A 15-year guarantee covers manufacturing faults, giving you confidence in the build.
