WOOD FLOOR TREATMENTS

Fumed or Smoked – what’s the difference?

Our fumed and smoked colours are achieved through a process that reacts with the natural tannins in the Oak. Although the processes are carefully controlled, the final colours are dictated by Nature and not by using pigmented stains.

The main difference between the two techniques:

Smoking penetrates the veneer surface by 0.5 to 2mm in depth. Fuming penetrates the entire depth of the layer

Please be aware that, when you buy smoked or fumed Oak flooring, variation in colour is to be expected. It is a process that tints rather than changes the natural beauty of wood.
