Turkey oak is a native essence from Central Southern Europe belonging to the Fagaceae family, like the ordinary oak. For this reason these two essences have very similar characteristics and appearance thus they are difficult to distinguish for an unexperienced eye. Turkey oak, however, compared to the other qualities of oaks, is the fastest growing of the species. It is a very hard and compact wood, pink in colour, which reacts in a totally unique way to treatment, thus enabling the realization of wood floors with original finishes and striking workmanship.
It is a particularly nervous essence and therefore difficult to work but the experience and the careful and scrupulous work of our craftsmen allow us to propose a parquet in original Turkey oak wood, resistant and durable, characterized by a singular entirely new beauty.
In wooden floors with an oxidized finish the oxidizer reacts with the tannin, present in the essence, determining nuances and characteristic shades with a completely different coloured effect from what is usually obtained with oak. In addition, the oil finish, totally water-repellent, allows installation even in humid environments such as the bathroom.
