Symphony

Symphony has one colour, Verdi, a wire-brushed white oak with a UV-cured oil finish and a matte sheen. Brushing opens up the grain so the pattern reads clearly across a room, and the oil gives a softer, more natural look than a glossy coat.

Verdi is a 12 mm plank, 7.48 inches (190 mm) across, made from a sliced 2 mm veneer over a eucalyptus core. Boards come in random lengths, lock with tongue and groove, and carry micro-bevelled edges on four sides. The grade is Classic. It is rated for residential use, so living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms are where it belongs. If a spot gets scuffed, an oiled floor lets you clean and re-oil that area without refinishing everything.
