Maximum Texture, Maximum Warmth -- AC-24

AC-24 is a 260mm extra-wide plank engineered oak floor with a heavy brushed-and-smoked surface and wax oil finish -- the most texturally dramatic specification in the AMUER smoked range, in which a cabinet scraper applied with greater pressure and wider stroke spacing creates bold, deep channels across the full 260mm board face, producing pronounced ridge-valley undulations that are deeper, wider, and more structurally dramatic than fine brushed -- combined with ammonia fuming and wax oil for a warm sandy-brown smoked tone that integrates into the texture rather than sitting uniformly on the surface.

The distinction between AC-24 heavy brushed and AC-23 fine brushed is one of scale and drama. Both products are processed by the same fundamental technique -- a skilled worker drawing a cabinet scraper across each board face -- but the tool pressure, stroke spacing, and blade contact angle differ. In AC-23, the strokes are fine, dense, and tightly packed: hundreds of small crescent marks accumulate into a surface that reads as almost woven or scaled. In AC-24, the strokes are bolder, wider, and more widely spaced: fewer, larger impressions create deep channels with clearly defined ridge walls and valley floors that cast strong shadow lines at raking light. The AC-24 texture is visible as structure from across a room; the AC-23 texture reveals itself at close range.

The smoked colour of AC-24 settles into the heavy texture differently than it does on a fine-scraped or brushed surface. In the deep channels of the heavy scraping, the ammonia vapour pools and reacts more intensely with the exposed fresh oak fibre, producing a slightly darker smoked tone in the valley floors than on the raised ridges. This means the smoked colour of AC-24 has a built-in tonal depth at the scale of the scraper marks: warm sandy-brown on the ridges, slightly deeper smoked brown in the channels. At full board scale, this creates a surface that appears to have been aged and worn over time rather than uniformly treated -- the colour lives inside the texture.

Wax oil is the only correct finish for a heavily brushed floor. A UV lacquer coat over deep scraper channels would partially fill the valleys, reducing the shadow depth and tactile drama of the texture. Wax oil penetrates from the surface into the wood fibre, leaving every channel, ridge, and valley completely open and tactile. The floor is felt underfoot as a pronounced, complex surface -- different in character from smooth or fine-textured floors at every step.

Design Guide

AC-24's heavy hand-scraped smoked wax oil surface and warm sandy-brown tone are best in spaces that celebrate raw materials, boldness, and honest construction. Two contexts where AC-24 is the definitive choice:

Barn & Rural Conversion

AC-24 is the engineered floor that was made for barn conversions. The heavy brushed texture matches the material scale and honesty of exposed timber beams, stone walls, and original agricultural ironwork. Against rough-cast plaster, fieldstone, and aged structural timber, the AC-24 surface reads as belonging to the same material family -- made by hand, worn by time, authentic in character. It is the floor that makes the conversion feel like the barn it came from.

Bold Raw Interior

In a raw industrial or brutalist interior, AC-24 provides the warmth and tactile quality that prevents the space from feeling inhospitable. Against poured concrete, black steel, and unfinished structural timber, the heavy-scraped warm sandy-brown oak floor is the most tactile and warmest element in the room -- its texture visible as surface relief and felt underfoot. The boldness of the scraping matches the boldness of the architecture.

Installation & Room Suitability

Click Installation (Floating)

AC-24 uses Uniclic-compatible click floating installation. At 260mm extra-wide, subfloor flatness is critical. The wax oil finish requires full acclimatisation before installation.

•No adhesive required -- click lock floating installation

•Subfloor flatness: 3mm per 2m maximum

•Expansion gap at all walls: minimum 15mm

•48-hour acclimatisation at room temperature before installation

•Install perpendicular to room entry for maximum visual impact

•Stagger end joints: minimum 400mm between rows

Use foam or com

Underfloor Heating

AC-24 is compatible with both hydronic and electric UFH. Wax oil handles UFH thermal cycling well. At 260mm extra-wide, humidity management is essential.

✓Maximum surface temperature: 27 degrees C

✓Switch off heating 48 hours before installation

✓Restart gradually: 1-2 degrees C per day to operating temperature

✓Maintain indoor humidity 45-60% RH year-round

✓Wax oil handles UFH cycles without cracking risk

Thermal resistance 0.15 m2 K/W maximum

Room Suitability

Room / Application	Suitability	Notes
Living Rooms	Excellent	The bold heavy texture and warm sandy-brown smoked tone create an immediate, visceral interior presence. The heavy scraping is visible as surface relief from across the room.
Open-Plan Kitchen-Living	Excellent	The bold texture grounds a large open-plan space and unifies the floor visually across kitchen and living zones. UV lacquer products may suit kitchen zones better -- confirm with client.
Barn Conversions & Rural Properties	Excellent	AC-24 is the definitive floor for barn conversions and rural renovation -- the heavy hand-scraped smoked texture is architecturally appropriate for raw, agricultural, and rural building contexts.
Heritage Buildings -- Rustic	Excellent	Works in farmhouse, country pub, and rural hospitality interiors where a bold reclaimed-timber aesthetic is the design intent.
Dining Rooms	Excellent	Heavy texture and warm smoked tone create a richly atmospheric dining environment. The texture rewards the close attention of seated diners.
Hallways	Very Good	Bold texture and dark smoked tone highly forgiving of traffic marks. Re-oil annually in high-traffic areas.
Master Bedrooms	Very Good	Very Good Statement floor for a design-led bedroom. The heavy texture creates a sensory quality to the floor that contributes to the room's character.
Kitchen Only	Good	Wax oil less water-resistant than lacquer. Seal all board joints. Wipe spills immediately. Re-oil kitchen areas annually minimum.
Bathrooms	Not Recommended	Not suitable for persistent moisture -- specify SPC flooring.

Care & Maintenance -- Wax Oil on Heavy Brushed Surface

Task	Method
Daily	Soft brush head vacuum along the grain direction -- the deep heavy-scraped channels collect more dust than fine-texture floors; more frequent vacuuming than smooth floors recommended
Weekly	Damp mop with well-wrung cloth and pH-neutral wood floor cleaner for oiled floors -- no standing water; wax oil is not waterproof
Spills	Wipe immediately -- open wax oil surface at risk of staining; deep channels may collect liquid if not wiped promptly; the warm smoked tone helps conceal minor stains
Spot repair	Lightly abrade the worn area with 240-grit paper along the grain and re-apply wax oil locally -- the heavy scraped texture means local repairs blend very naturally into the surrounding surface variation
Full re-oil	Every 1-2 years for residential use; annually for high-traffic areas -- AMUER Floor Care Wax Oil or compatible hardwax oil; the deep channels absorb oil well and the re-oiling is particularly effective
Never	Steam mop · abrasive cleaners · bleach · solvent-based products · UV lacquer products · applying lacquer over wax oil

FAQ

Q1. What is heavy brushed smoked oak engineered flooring?

Heavy brushed smoked oak engineered flooring is a multi-layer engineered hardwood floor with a solid oak wear layer processed by a skilled worker applying bold, wide scraper strokes with greater pressure than fine hand scraping -- creating deep channels and pronounced ridge-valley undulations across the board face -- combined with ammonia fuming for a warm sandy-brown smoked colour and wax oil finish.

AMUER AC-24 is 260mm wide, 2,200mm long, 15/4mm total thickness with a 4mm solid oak wear layer, CD natural character grade, heavy brushed and smoked surface, wax oil finish, and click installation. The heavy hand-scraped texture is structurally visible from across a room -- bold channels and ridges casting strong shadow lines at raking light -- making AC-24 the most texturally dramatic surface in the AMUER smoked range.

Q2. What is the difference between AC-24 heavy hand scraping and AC-23 fine hand scraping?

AC-24 uses bolder, wider scraper strokes with greater pressure and wider spacing, creating deep channels and pronounced ridge-valley undulations visible as structure from distance; AC-23 uses finer, denser crescent strokes with controlled pressure, creating an intricate surface that reveals itself at close range rather than announcing itself from across the room.

Both products are 260mm, 15/4mm, CD grade, brushed and smoked, wax oil, click. The difference is entirely in the scraping scale: AC-24 is bold and rustic; AC-23 is refined and intricate. AC-24 suits barn conversions, raw interiors, and farmhouse contexts. AC-23 suits heritage, Arts and Crafts, and scholarly interiors. Request samples of both -- the tactile and visual difference is significant and best experienced in person.

Q3. Why does the smoked colour appear darker in the channels than on the ridges of AC-24?

The deeper channels of the heavy hand scraping expose fresh wood fibre in the valley floors, which reacts more intensely with the ammonia vapour during fuming than the burnished ridge surfaces -- producing a slightly darker smoked tone in the channels than on the raised ridges, creating natural tonal variation at the scale of the individual scraper marks.

This means AC-24's smoked colour is built into the texture rather than uniformly applied over it -- the colour is deeper where the surface is deeper. This is not a defect but the defining visual characteristic of a heavily hand-scraped smoked floor: the tone varies with the topography of the surface, producing a smoked appearance with genuine depth and variation that no smooth-surface smoked product can replicate.

Q4. Why is wax oil used on AC-24 rather than UV lacquer?

Wax oil is used on AC-24 because a hard lacquer film would partially fill the deep scraper channels, reducing the shadow depth and tactile drama that the heavy brushing is designed to create -- wax oil penetrates the wood fibre without forming a surface film, leaving every channel, ridge, and valley fully open, tactile, and shadow-casting.

For a floor specified specifically for the boldness and depth of its brushed texture, lacquer would be counterproductive: it would preserve the surface but diminish the very quality that distinguishes AC-24 from other smoked oak products. Wax oil on heavy brushed is the combination that fully honours both processes.

Q5. Can AC-24 be used over underfloor heating?

Yes -- AC-24 is compatible with both hydronic and electric underfloor heating, maximum surface temperature 27 degrees C.

Wax oil handles UFH thermal cycling well without cracking risk. At 260mm extra-wide, maintain indoor humidity at 45-60% RH year-round. Switch off heating 48 hours before installation; restart gradually after installation, increasing by 1-2 degrees C per day.

Q6. How do I maintain the wax oil finish on AC-24?

Wax oil on AC-24 requires periodic re-oiling every 1-2 years, daily sweeping or vacuuming, weekly damp mopping with pH-neutral wood floor cleaner, and immediate spill wiping -- the deep channels collect dust and liquid more readily than smooth floors.

Spot repair is particularly natural on a heavy hand-scraped floor: lightly abrade worn areas with 240-grit paper along the grain direction and re-apply wax oil locally. The bold texture variation makes local repairs blend seamlessly -- more effectively than on any smooth floor. Full re-oiling refreshes both the surface protection and the smoked depth across the entire floor.

Q7. Can AC-24 be sanded and refinished?

Yes -- AC-24 has a 4mm solid oak wear layer supporting 3-4 full sanding and refinishing cycles over the floor's lifespan.

After sanding, AC-24 can be re-scraped at heavy intensity, re-smoked in a fuming chamber, and re-finished with wax oil to restore the full specification. The re-scraping step requires professional hand-scraping equipment and a skilled operator. Each sanding removes approximately 1mm of wear layer. Full refinishing should be carried out by a flooring specialist.

Q8. What is the minimum order for AC-24?

The standard minimum order for AMUER AC-24 is 200 m2 per SKU from our China factory.
