{"product_id":"cortado-plank","title":"Cortado","description":"\u003cp\u003eCortado has a much deeper, richer feel than the lighter oak tones in the range, bringing warmth, contrast and real presence into a space without losing the natural detail that makes engineered oak so appealing. The colour sits comfortably within darker brown and smoked oak territory, but still allows the natural grain and movement of the timber to remain clearly visible throughout the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a noticeable sense of character running through the boards. The knots, grain variation and tonal shifts give Cortado a more mature, established appearance, helping the floor feel instantly lived-in and full of depth once installed. It has a stronger visual identity than softer natural oak floors, which makes it particularly effective in larger spaces or interiors where the flooring is intended to become part of the overall design statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lacquered finish gives the surface a cleaner and more refined appearance while still allowing the oak beneath to remain authentic. It helps enhance the depth of colour within the grain, creating a subtle richness that changes naturally depending on the light throughout the day. At the same time, the lacquered protection keeps the floor practical and straightforward to maintain, making it well suited to busy homes and everyday living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 190mm wide and 1900mm long, the larger plank format allows the natural variation within the timber to stretch properly across the room. The longer boards help create flow and continuity, while the wider format gives the floor a more premium, spacious feel underfoot. In open-plan areas especially, Cortado has the ability to ground the entire room and add a real sense of warmth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe darker tone works beautifully alongside lighter walls, neutral furnishings and natural textures, creating contrast without becoming overpowering. It also pairs exceptionally well with black accents, brushed metals and more contemporary interiors where you want warmth without losing sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the colour carries a little more depth, Cortado also tends to feel particularly atmospheric in evening lighting and softer interior settings. It creates a warmer, more intimate feel than pale oak floors while still retaining the natural movement and detail of real timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the finish, the construction is designed for long-term durability. The engineered structure provides excellent stability, while the substantial 3mm real oak wear layer means the floor can be sanded and refinished in future if needed. That gives you flexibility long term and helps ensure the floor continues to age properly alongside the rest of the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCortado is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a floor with more richness, more contrast and a slightly more luxurious feel, while still retaining the warmth and authenticity of natural oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree samples are available so you can properly compare the depth of colour, grain variation and overall warmth within your own home and lighting before making a final decision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lux Flooring Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55965159457147,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/7532\/3178\/files\/2432E18F-A267-46C1-8AB6-9D0759F8C9C8.jpg?v=1767800240","url":"https:\/\/luxflooringclub.co.uk\/products\/cortado-plank","provider":"Lux Flooring Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
