Flooring Collection
Slide takes traditional oak and frees it from the fixed plank. The collection is built from modular timber panels that lock together in geometric configurations, so the floor is not specified from a catalogue of set patterns but composed by the person designing the room. The grain and warmth are familiar oak; the arrangement is open.
Each panel is finished oak, available in four colourways: Montblanc, Biancospino, Pienza and Tortora. Because the modules are designed to combine, a designer can run a single tone across a whole floor, alternate two tones for rhythm, or set a feature configuration in one zone and a calmer field around it. The decision sits with the specifier rather than the product.
This makes Slide suited to spaces where the floor is meant to be read as part of the design: reception areas, open-plan living, galleries and hospitality interiors. The result holds the steadiness of an oak floor while allowing a layout that is particular to the room.

A conventional oak floor is laid as long planks running in one direction. Slide is laid as panels: discrete oak modules cut to a common geometry so their edges meet cleanly when set side by side or turned against one another. Because each module shares the same proportions, they can be combined without bespoke cutting on site, and a small set of shapes produces a wide range of layouts. The system carries the load and the geometry; the design comes from how the modules are placed.
This is what allows the layout to be chosen rather than supplied. The same panels can be arranged into a quiet, near-uniform field, a directional run, or a more pronounced geometric pattern that reads as a deliberate motif. A floor can stay in one register throughout, or shift between zones in an open space to mark a threshold, a seating area or a route.
The material is oak, chosen for the stability and grain that have made it the long-standing timber for fine flooring. The collection is offered in four colourways. Montblanc is the palest, a cool, light oak. Biancospino is soft and neutral. Pienza brings warmth without turning yellow. Tortora is the deepest of the four, a grey-brown that grounds a scheme. Holding the colourways within one collection means a designer can mix tones across the modular layout and keep a consistent surface across the whole floor.
Finishing protects the oak and sets its final appearance, from a matt, close-to-natural surface to something with a little more depth. Finish also governs how the floor is maintained and how readily it can be refreshed over time, which matters in rooms that see steady use.
Modular panels are fitted to a sound, level and dry subfloor, with the layout set out from the room before any module is fixed so the pattern resolves correctly against walls and openings. The panel format is well suited to underfloor heating, where an even, predictable build helps the system warm the surface consistently. As an engineered approach, it is more dimensionally settled than solid boards across changes in heat and humidity, which is part of why it sits comfortably over heating.
In service, an oak floor benefits from grit control at entrances, prompt attention to spills and routine cleaning suited to its finish. Localised marks can usually be addressed without lifting the wider floor, and the modular arrangement means a damaged area can be worked on in isolation rather than across a full run of planks.
We treat the layout as a design decision made with the specifier. Working from the room dimensions, the intended use and the chosen colourway or combination, we set out a configuration, prepare samples and supply the modules through our workshop network. The aim is a floor that is recognisably oak in character and specific to the project in its arrangement. For other directions in our flooring range, see Classics.
Yes. The modular system is designed so the configuration is set by the designer or end user rather than fixed in advance. We help translate an intended layout into a buildable arrangement of panels.
It is. The panel format suits underfloor heating, provided the subfloor and the heating system are prepared and commissioned correctly before fitting.
Four: Montblanc, Biancospino, Pienza and Tortora. They can be used singly or combined within one layout.
