Product Description
Timeless Radiance with Cascada Light Chestnut Oak
There is a unique warmth that only genuine wood can bring to a home, and the Quick-Step Cascada Light Chestnut Oak (CASC6034) is the perfect example of nature meets innovation. At Floorstore Direct, we have established ourselves as the best place in Ireland to buy engineered flooring by offering premium collections that balance high-end aesthetics with the rugged durability required for Irish living. This floor features a soft, golden-hued palette that brightens even the smallest rooms, creating a sense of airy, effortless luxury.
The Light Chestnut Oak is defined by its Nature grading. For those who want a floor that looks authentic but sophisticated, this is the ideal middle ground. A nature grade means the boards include subtle, small knots and natural colour variations that highlight the organic origin of the oak. It avoids the heavy rustic look of larger knots while ensuring your floor feels like a living part of your home, not a factory-printed imitation.
The First Truly Watertight Engineered Wood
The Cascada range has revolutionized the industry by solving the age-old problem: how to have real wood in wet areas. This 13mm thick board is part of the first-ever 100% water-resistant parquet collection from Quick-Step.
- Wood for Life Technology: This innovative moisture-repellent coating protects the surface and the deep textures of the grain. It prevents mud, spills, and dirt from staining the wood or getting trapped in the joints.
- HydroSeal Surface Protection: Unlike traditional wood, Cascada is 100% resistant to surface moisture. This makes it a stunning, high-performance solution for kitchens, utility rooms, and even bathrooms.
- Brushed & Extra Matt Finish: The planks undergo a meticulous brushed process to accentuate the natural grain, followed by an extra matt lacquer finish. This provides a tactile, non-reflective surface that looks raw and natural while offering superior protection.

Ask a Question
1. Is "Nature Grading" better than "Vibrant Grading"? "Better" depends on your style! Nature grading is more subtle, featuring smaller knots and less dramatic colour shifts, making it perfect for those who want an authentic wood look that feels a bit more refined and "cleaner" than the rustic vibrant grade.
2. Can I really use this in my bathroom? Yes! Cascada is specifically designed for moisture-prone areas. Thanks to the watertight click system and HydroSeal coating, it can handle standing water for up to 72 hours. Just ensure the perimeter is sealed according to manufacturer guidelines.
3. Does 13mm thickness allow for future sanding? Absolutely. The genuine oak wear layer on this 13mm board can be professionally sanded and refinished in the future, meaning your investment can last for decades or even 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.
