European Oak Grades
European oak is available in different grades, including QF1, QF2, QF3, QF4 and QF5, offering different levels of selection, natural character and visual appearance according to manufacturing and project requirements.
Available dimensions vary according to grade and product format, with different thicknesses, widths and fixed or mixed lengths depending on availability. Specific combinations of grades and dimensions can also be supplied according to the requirements of each order.
QF1 - Premium appearance
Clean and consistent appearance with minimal natural features.
QF2 — Selected appearance
A balanced grade combining a clean appearance with natural oak character.
QF3 — Natural character
More visible natural features give the timber a distinctive and expressive oak appearance.
QF4 — Rustic character
A more rustic grade where the natural characteristics of European oak become more prominent.
QF5 — Maximum character
A highly characterful grade with greater natural variation for applications where a rustic appearance is required.
European Oak Characteristics
European oak is recognised for its pronounced grain, natural texture and warm colour variation, ranging from light beige and golden tones to deeper brown shades. Medullary rays and natural grain variation can add further visual character depending on how the timber is cut.
As a hardwood, European oak offers a strong combination of hardness, wear resistance and durability. It machines well and accepts a wide range of finishes, including oils and stains, allowing its natural grain and colour to be enhanced according to the required finish.
European Oak Applications
European oak is used across a broad range of interior, furniture and architectural projects, from individual components to large-format joinery and finished surfaces.
Typical applications include flooring, staircases, doors, cabinetry, tables, wall cladding and solid wood furniture components. Its broad range of grades and visual selections allows the material to be specified for projects where the appearance of the timber forms an important part of the finished design.
