Today we are seeking out the most natural-looking finish possible, creating a floor that shows more of the natural variation.
Fumed, or smoked oak is wood flooring which has been treated to change its color. To obtain such floors we use the technique of fuming/smoking which creates color from within the wood by causing reaction in its natural ingredients. Fuming or smoking causes the tannins in the wood to be brought to the surface. The closer the tannins are to the surface, the darker the wood will appear.
The once traditional high build, high gloss floor finishes can’t compare with this look.
We have made a few samples on a European White Oak Live Sawn cut in different grades of fuming. Depending on the mixing ratio, you can control the depth of the color.
