Pick a format at the top of this page to see current stock, updated every 15 minutes from our warehouse system.
Made-to-order formats are milled to order: please allow approximately 3-4 months from order, an estimate that can vary with production and shipping. In-stock items ship on order, subject to stock on hand when you order. On order means a stocked line between shipments, arriving soon, so ask us for the next delivery date.
Matching stair nosings (110 x 40 x 20mm, 1.2m long) come pre-made from the factory with the return already formed, colour-matched to every format and finished in the same Sherwin-Williams UV lacquer, so colour and grain carry through from floor to step. No site-built nosing, and no colour mismatch on the step. As a natural timber product, some variation between boards is normal, part of the character of real oak. Order a sample to see the colour and pattern first.
The finish is a UV-cured lacquer system from Sherwin-Williams, the American coatings company founded in 1866 and, by revenue, the world’s largest paint and coatings maker.
Petit Château Collection
Lyon Oak is an engineered European oak floor defined by its natural oak tone and clean, understated appearance. The colour is warm and balanced, allowing the timber’s grain and subtle variation to remain visible without excessive contrast or artificial enhancement.
The surface presents a composed and even look, making Lyon Oak well suited to a wide range of interior styles. Natural characteristics are present but restrained, creating a floor that feels calm, timeless, and adaptable rather than highly expressive.
Manufactured with a stable engineered construction, Lyon Oak offers reliable performance while maintaining the look and feel of solid oak. The considered balance of board dimensions and wear layer provides durability without unnecessary excess, making it a practical choice for everyday residential use.
As part of the Petit Château Collection, Lyon Oak delivers accessible European oak flooring that prioritises material quality, long-term performance, and a refined aesthetic.
