Product Description
Experience the perfect blend of luxury, warmth, and natural charm with Esco Smoked Basecoat Wide, a breathtaking engineered wood floor that showcases the timeless appeal of smoked oak in a beautifully wide 225mm plank. Available exclusively from FloorStore Direct, Ireland’s leading destination for engineered flooring and hardwood floors, this 15mm rustic-grade design delivers an elegant yet organic aesthetic that transforms any home or commercial space into a statement of sophistication.
Each plank of Esco Smoked Basecoat Wide is brushed, smoked, and UV oiled to perfection. The smoking process enhances the natural grain of the oak, deepening its colour and adding layers of rich, earthy tones that exude warmth and depth. The brushed texture reveals the wood’s authentic character, creating a tactile surface that feels as natural as it looks. Finished with a UV oiled coating, this floor achieves a soft, satin sheen that protects the wood from everyday wear and tear while maintaining its organic look and feel. The oil penetrates deep into the timber, strengthening it from within while preserving its natural beauty for years to come.
The 225mm wide planks make a bold statement, adding a sense of spaciousness and flow to your interior. Wide boards highlight the oak’s distinctive grain and colour variations, making them perfect for open-plan living areas, large hallways, or modern minimalist spaces. Their rustic grading enhances the floor’s authenticity, celebrating natural knots, cracks, and tonal shifts that make every plank unique — the hallmarks of genuine hardwood flooring.
Built for performance as much as beauty, this 15mm engineered flooring features a robust multi-layered construction that ensures long-lasting strength and stability. Unlike traditional solid wood flooring, engineered floors are designed to withstand changes in temperature and humidity, making them ideal for Irish homes. This structural innovation ensures your floor remains stable, secure, and stunning — season after season.
For optimal results, Esco Smoked Basecoat Wide must be glued directly to the subfloor, ensuring a strong, seamless, and durable installation. Once fitted, the result is a solid, luxurious surface that feels both timeless and contemporary underfoot.

Recommend Adhesive
Our Esco Wide Boards must 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 Esco Herringbone 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.
