Rustic & Natural Grade Oak Flooring: FAQ & Buying Guide

September 23, 2025

Choosing the right flooring for your project can be overwhelming—especially with so many options in grade, finish, and structure. To help you source confidently, we’ve compiled a guide to the most frequently asked questions about Rustic and Natural Grade European Oak Engineered Flooring, and what makes Songlinfloor a trusted global supplier.


Q1: What’s the Difference Between Rustic Grade and Natural Grade Oak?

  • Rustic Grade (ABCD or EF): Includes knots, color variation, sapwood, and a more organic, textured feel. Ideal for natural or vintage looks.
  • Natural Grade (ABC or ABCD): Features fewer knots and a more consistent grain. Preferred in clean, modern, and luxury interiors.

🧠 Tip: Both grades can be finished with invisible lacquer or natural oil to maintain the wood’s authenticity.


Q2: What Is 3-Layer Engineered Flooring and Why Does It Matter?

Our flooring is made with a 3-layer engineered structure:

  • Top layer: 3–4mm of European oak
  • Core: Poplar or eucalyptus for dimensional stability
  • Base: Birch plywood or finger-jointed softwood

Advantages:

  • Stable in humid or heated environments
  • Compatible with underfloor heating
  • Less expansion/contraction than solid wood

Q3: Can You Match the Colors Popular in the European Market?

Absolutely. With over 20 years of exporting experience, we understand the design preferences in Germany, France, Scandinavia, and the UK.
Popular finishes we offer include:

  • Invisible lacquer (ultra-matte natural look)
  • White oil (Scandinavian feel)
  • Smoked & grey tones
  • Light UV brushed
