Product Description
Bring timeless elegance and warmth into your home with the Castro Hagia Sophia Oak 250, a luxurious wide plank engineered floor that captures the rich beauty of nature with a sophisticated modern edge. Available exclusively from FloorStore Direct, Ireland’s leading destination for engineered floors and hardwood flooring, this stunning oak design combines expert craftsmanship with exceptional durability to create a floor that will elevate any interior space.
The Castro Hagia Sophia Oak 250 is a 15mm thick engineered floor designed for both visual impact and long-term performance. Its extra-wide 250mm boards give a sense of space and grandeur, making it a perfect choice for open-plan living areas or large rooms where the natural flow of the wood can shine. Each plank is carefully brushed to highlight the intricate grain patterns of real oak, while the rich brown colour stain adds depth and warmth — ideal for creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere in any setting.
The matt lacquer finish gives this hardwood floor a beautiful, natural sheen while providing excellent protection against everyday wear. Unlike high-gloss finishes, matt lacquer enhances the tactile quality of the brushed oak surface, offering a soft, authentic feel underfoot. It’s a finish that balances beauty and practicality — easy to maintain, resilient to spills, and designed to look good for years to come.
With a rustic grading, this floor celebrates the natural character of the timber. Expect charming knots, subtle colour variation, and hints of sapwood that add authenticity and individuality to every board. This blend of texture and tone makes the Castro Hagia Sophia Oak 250 a perfect match for both traditional and contemporary Irish interiors, blending rustic charm with modern sophistication.
This versatile floor can be glued directly to the subfloor for a solid, stable installation or floated using its tongue & groove system, making it suitable for both professional and DIY installations. Its engineered structure — real oak on top of a multi-layered core — ensures excellent stability, even in environments with changing temperatures or under underfloor heating systems.

Recommend Adhesive
Because of the excessive length and width of our Castro 250 Boards we advise them to be directly glued to the subfloor. 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.
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 Castro Range 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.
