PolyflorArchitex CollectionBowery Oak

Bowery Oak brings a warm, medium brown wood look to any room without the upkeep of real timber. The plank effect sits crisp and natural, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces where you want oak character but need something tough and waterproof.

This luxury vinyl sheet sits on a cushioned PVC backing that feels underfoot. The extra comfort makes standing easier in kitchens and hallways. At 3.5mm thick with a 0.35mm wear layer, it takes daily wear and keeps its look for years. Loose lay installation means you can fit it fast with minimal fuss, and it works with underfloor heating if your home has it.

Where it works

Bowery Oak suits kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways and living rooms. The waterproof surface handles wet feet and spills without risk. It’s tough enough for light commercial settings too, so it works in small businesses, offices and hospitality areas as well as family homes.

Installation and heating

Loose lay fitting means it sits on the subfloor without glue or click joints, making installation straightforward. The sheet works with underfloor heating systems, so you can warm the room beneath without damage to the vinyl.

Looking after it

Wipe spills promptly and vacuum or sweep regularly to keep grit off the surface. The waterproof backing protects against moisture, but avoid soaking and standing water. Polyflor backs this product with a 20-year warranty against wear and defects.

Bowery Oak is part of the Polyflor Architex range of cushioned vinyl sheets. The combination of comfort, waterproofing and long-term durability makes it a sensible choice for busy homes and commercial spaces.
