Unfinished oak flooring offers complete control over colour, finish, and final appearance. Supplied in its raw state, these engineered oak boards are designed to be sanded and finished on site, allowing architects, designers, and homeowners to specify custom stains, oils, or lacquers tailored precisely to their project. For those seeking flexibility in tone and finish, unfinished oak provides a refined, bespoke foundation.
Raw Oak Flooring for Custom Finishes
Unfinished oak flooring is supplied without factory-applied coatings, leaving the surface ready for sanding and finishing after installation. This approach allows complete freedom in selecting the final colour and sheen level — whether a natural oil, deep stain, ultra-matt lacquer, or specialist commercial coating.
Because the boards are installed and finished on site, the result is a seamless floor with reduced bevel definition and a highly integrated appearance. Consequently, unfinished oak is particularly well suited to architectural projects, high-end residential builds, and spaces where precise colour matching is required.
At Vienna Woods, our unfinished engineered oak flooring combines the dimensional stability of a multi-layer construction with the natural character of European oak. Boards are available in wide plank and parquet formats, offering design flexibility without compromising structural performance.

Why Choose Unfinished Engineered Oak Flooring?
Complete colour control
Unfinished oak allows you to match cabinetry, joinery, and architectural finishes with precision. Custom stains can be developed specifically for your project.
Seamless appearance
On-site sanding and finishing reduces visible bevel lines, creating a continuous, cohesive floor surface.
Ideal for bespoke projects
Particularly suited to architectural homes, renovations, and projects requiring exact tonal consistency across large areas.
Engineered stability
Unlike solid timber, engineered oak flooring provides greater dimensional stability, making it suitable for New Zealand’s climate and compatible with underfloor heating systems (subject to specification).
Understanding Finishing Options
Once installed, unfinished oak flooring can be finished with natural oils, hardwax oils, or durable lacquers depending on the desired aesthetic and performance requirements.
