Product Description
Brighten your home with the timeless elegance and natural warmth of Forest Chester Oak, a beautifully refined engineered wood floor that combines the authentic beauty of real oak with the durability and versatility of modern engineering. Available exclusively at FloorStore Direct, Ireland’s leading supplier of engineered flooring and hardwood floors, this 14mm floor offers a perfect balance of light, natural tones, subtle texture, and lasting performance — ideal for Irish homes and interiors that crave both comfort and style.
Each plank of Forest Chester Oak is light colour stained, brushed, and finished with a matt lacquer, creating a floor that feels fresh, contemporary, and full of character. The light stain enhances the natural golden hues of the oak while softening its tone, resulting in a bright and airy aesthetic that makes rooms feel larger and more open. The brushed texture adds depth and definition, accentuating the grain pattern of the wood, while the matt lacquered finish gives a smooth, protective surface that resists wear and tear while maintaining a natural, low-sheen look. It’s a perfect choice for anyone seeking elegance with practicality.
The universal grading of Forest Chester Oak makes it especially versatile. It contains a beautiful mix of all oak grades — from clean, sleek boards to rustic planks with visible knots and grain variations. This creates a balanced and organic aesthetic that feels authentic without being overly rustic. The result is a floor that brings warmth and personality to every interior, from contemporary apartments and modern builds to more traditional Irish homes.
Engineered with precision, this 14mm multi-layered floor delivers exceptional stability, strength, and longevity. Unlike solid wood, engineered flooring is constructed to handle Ireland’s fluctuating humidity and temperature, preventing warping or movement while preserving the classic beauty of hardwood. It’s an eco-friendly, sustainable choice that provides the best of both worlds — the appearance of solid oak and the resilience of advanced engineering.
The tongue and groove system allows flexible installation. Forest Chester Oak can be floated over an underlay for a faster, more adaptable fitting or glued directly to the subfloor for a firm, permanent finish. Both methods provide a seamless, elegant appearance and a stable underfoot feel that enhances the comfort of your home.
At FloorStore Direct, we’re proud to be Ireland’s number one destination for engineered and hardwood flooring. With over 20 years of experience, showrooms in Galway and Tullamore, and private flooring consultations with Siobhan, our expert team delivers unmatched service, quality, and value.

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 Forest Engineered 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.
