Product Description
Discover the Modern Elegance of Cotton Grey Oak
In the world of contemporary interior design, finding a floor that feels both “cool” and “inviting” is a rare feat. The Quick-Step Cascada Cotton Grey Oak (CASC5674) achieves this effortlessly, offering a soft, muted grey palette that brings a sense of calm and sophistication to any space. At Floorstore Direct, we have built our reputation as the best place in Ireland to buy engineered flooring because we understand that Irish homeowners want the prestige of real wood without the traditional maintenance headaches.
This floor features a vibrant grading, a choice that celebrates the organic soul of the oak. Unlike uniform, factory-perfect imitations, Cotton Grey Oak showcases a beautiful array of natural knots, striking colour variations, and visible sapwood.It tells the story of the tree, providing a rich, tactile texture that adds immediate character to a minimalist Dublin apartment or a renovated farmhouse in the Midlands.
Innovation Built for the Real World
While the look is pure nature, the engineering is 100% future-facing. This 13mm thick board from Quick-Step is part of the first-ever truly water-resistant parquet collection. We know that in a busy Irish household, spills happen and damp weather is a constant, which is why the Cascada range is a total game-changer.
- Pioneering Water Resistance: Thanks to the revolutionary “Wood for Life” technology, moisture is prevented from soaking into the joints or the grain. This makes it a luxury choice for areas once considered “off-limits” for wood, such as kitchens and open-plan utility spaces.
- Superior Surface Treatment: Each plank is meticulously brushed to highlight the grain and finished with a grey stain and extra matt lacquer. This provides a non-reflective, modern look that feels like raw, oiled timber but acts like a high-performance shield.
- Versatile Installation: The Cotton Grey Oak offers total flexibility. It can be glued down for a permanent, rock-solid feel or floated over an underlay using the world-renowned Uniclic Multifit system, making it suitable for almost any subfloor.

Ask a Question
1. Is "Cotton Grey" too light for a home with pets? Actually, the vibrant grading and extra matt finish are excellent at hiding light-coloured pet hair and micro-scratches. Unlike dark, glossy floors, this textured grey surface maintains a "just-installed" look even in high-traffic homes.
2. Can I really install this in a kitchen? Yes! The water-resistant surface and watertight click system are specifically designed to handle the spills and humidity of a modern kitchen. Just follow the recommended perimeter sealing guidelines for total peace of mind.
3. Does 13mm thickness allow for future sanding? Absolutely. While the factory lacquer is incredibly durable, the genuine oak top layer on this 13mm board can be professionally sanded and refinished in the future, giving your floor a lifespan that can last for generations.
Recommend Underlay/Adhesive
Our Engineered Flooring can be fitted either over an underlay as part of a floating system or can be directly glued to the subfloor. Our advice would always be for you to glue your floor down if possible. This will provide a more solid and stable structure that will increase noise reduction, feel better underfoot and will not expand as much. In the long term it will also provide structural stability during any floor sanding. If you have underfloor heating a glued down floor eliminates air pockets and will then allow your heating to work more economically. You can view all our adhesives here.
If you choose to float your floor the underlay you choose can be just as important as the floor itself as this is what will determine the feel and noise level under your foot. Furthermore if you have underfloor heating, the underlay you choose will determine the level of heat conductivity with some underlays allowing for a quicker heat transfer than others. Because of this, getting the right underlay is hugely important. You can view our entire underlay collection here.
Fitting Guidelines
In order for your new floor to perform to the best of its ability we advise using a skilled, professional fitter for the installation of your new floor. Prior to installation your floor must be checked to ensure it is level and free from moisture. Should there be any issues with this our levelling compounds and damp proof membranes are available here. It is vitally important, in particular with a floating floor that you do not fit any heavy objects (Such as fitted kitchens or islands) directly to the floor. An installation gap of 10-12mm must also be left around all 4 sides of the room including at doorways. Please refer to manufacturers guidelines for full installation instructions.
Cleaning & Maintenance Guide
The cleaning and maintenance of our Quick-Step Flooring is pretty much the same as with most Engineered Flooring. A sweep of a brush is all it should take to remove light dirt from your floor. For mopping, it is important you use a damp mop rather than a wet mop. If your floor is too wet, over time it may cause issues from water penetrating the joints. We advise the use of a PH neutral floor cleaner to ensure no damage to the floor. Also a spin mop or micro fibre mop should ensure the floor is not being overly wet.
