Forbo Allura Dryback Waxed Oak – Lustrous, Wax-Effect Vinyl Flooring with Classic Oak Warmth
Waxed Oak brings the warmth and richness of a traditionally wax-finished hardwood floor to the Forbo Allura Dryback collection in a durable, low-maintenance vinyl format. This luxury vinyl flooring colorway evokes the feeling of a carefully tended antique floor — a slightly deepened, mellowed oak tone that suggests years of careful care and polish without the need for any actual ongoing treatment. Waxed Oak suits traditional homes, period-conversion apartments, boutique hotels, and classic interior design schemes that value heritage and warmth.
At 5.91 inches wide by 39.37 inches long, Waxed Oak has a compact, traditional plank format that suits rooms with a classic sensibility. The 2.5mm construction and 0.7mm wear layer ensure Waxed Oak performs as a durable flooring option for both residential and commercial environments. Interestingly, the Ultra Matte finish works to capture the subtly burnished quality of wax-treated wood — providing a surface that reads as slightly richer and more layered than a plain matte, while still avoiding any conventional high sheen.
With approximately 32.3 square feet per box and glue-down installation, Waxed Oak creates a solid, quiet underfoot experience that is well matched to rooms with traditional or transitional interior schemes. Waxed Oak pairs naturally with Oriental rugs, classic painted furniture, warm brass or bronze fixtures, and antique-style mirrors. It is a particularly compelling choice for renovated heritage properties where continuity with the original character of the building is important.
Waxed Oak is a floor that feels loved and established from the moment it is installed. It brings a sense of history and homeliness to new spaces and enhances the character of older ones. For clients seeking a luxury vinyl flooring option that communicates warmth, tradition, and enduring quality, Waxed Oak from Yaletown Floor is a beautifully considered choice.
