City Solid European Ash Agate 135mm Brush Matt Lacquered Flooring, has a total thickness of 18mm and comes in random lengths of between 600-1800mm, with around 35% of the boards being 1800mm long.
Although this is a solid wood flooring all the way through it still has a wear layer above the tongue and groove, sanding cannot surpass this point. On this floor that wear layers is 8.0mm which if need can be sanded and re-finished up to 10 times, but under a normal maintenance program and in a domestic environment the floor should not need to be sanded for around 20 years.
The floor is constructed like a traditional hardwood floor out of one piece to timber.
Each of the planks has bevelled edges (V Grooves) on all four sides resulting in very distinctive groove between the planks, adding more depth and dimension along with giving an individual definition to each plank.
The rustic grade of this hardwood is a very vibrant colourful floor full of character and excitement. The floor can display heavy grain markings, figuring, mineral streaks, colour variations, sapwood and frequent knots of varying sizes. Knot holes, checks splits and other imperfections are allowed, filled and finished.
Before applying the finish, the surface of the wood is roller brushed to remove some of the softer summer growth rings from the grain; this gives a naturally textured surface that gently highlights the natural grain structure. The floor is prefinished with a very durable matt lacquer which allows the wood to appear very natural, visually similar to oiled floor, the lacquer also gives great protection to the hardwood itself and allows for easier cleaning and maintenance.

General After-Care Cleaning
Normal cleaning to remove surface debris is accomplished using a broom or vacuum cleaner. To remove normal stains and non-loose dirt, the floor should be cleaned with the Easy Clean Lacquered Flooring Cleaning Spray. This easy to use spray is ideal for hectic homes which need a quick cleaning solution - simply spray evenly across the floor, allow a minute to work on any stubborn marks and simply mop over. We recommend the use of the Easy Care Aluminium Micro Fibre Mop.
Cleaning Extremely Dirty Floors
If the floor has been neglected and/or becomes very dirty, it is advise to use the Easy Clean Lacquered Flooring Intensive Cleaner. Simply dilute 1 cap to 2l of warm water and apply with the Easy Care Aluminium Micro Fibre Mop. After allowing the solution to work on the dirt simply go over the area again removing the solution and the dirt from the floor - for stubborn marks repeat this process.
Refreshing Your New Floor
To keep the floor looking new it is recommended to use the Easy Clean Lacquered Flooring Refresher, this prevents dust build up, adds antistatic and anti-slip properties as well as restoring the floor to its original sheen. Prior to application it is reccomended all loose dirt is swept and removed from the surface followed by using the Easy Clean Lacquered Flooring Intensive Cleaner to ensure the refresher is applied directly to the flooring surface and not layered ontop of any stubborn dirt, ensuring the best results.
As a ready solution this is ideal to quickly refresh your flooring and to maintain that new look, this is recommended 2-3 times per year dependant on wear and foot traffic.
