Black Washed
Diesel Living by Berti – Washed Black Parquet.
True Colors Collection – Available Exclusively at Mister Mann Australia.
Urban Noir with Subtle Patina
Washed Black offers a rich, charcoal-grey finish that evokes the allure of weathered denim or graphite-toned concrete. Developed in collaboration with Diesel Living, this oak flooring features a brushed, colour-varnished surface with soft tonal gradations, creating visual depth and an authentic, “lived-in” aesthetic. Each plank displays alternating dark shades within the same tonal family, giving the entire floor movement, texture, and a matte sophistication.
This finish is ideal for interiors inspired by contemporary street styling—where masculine neutrality and tactile grain detail coexist harmoniously.
Materiality & Construction
- Surface: Premium European oak brushed and treated with a smoky black-grey varnish that retains visible grain and tactile quality.
- Format: Engineered 2-layer structure with a 4 mm oak top layer over ~9 mm birch plywood support, delivering stability and flatness.
- Thickness Options: Approximately 13 mm total, including support — offering robust performance while maintaining workable thickness.
- Formats & Layout: Available in wide-plank formats or herringbone/chevron patterns—customisable with board widths of 110–220 mm and lengths up to 2,500 mm depending on layout needs.
- Appearance Grades: Available in both Natura (clean grain) and Rustica (character-filled with knots), allowing tailored visual texture.
Technical Performance & Compliance
- Fire Safety: Classified as CFL‑s1 (equivalent to DFL in updated EN 13501-1:2019), offering low smoke and flame spread properties suitable for most interior uses.
- Health Standards: Finished with water-based, low‑VOC varnishes and adhesives. Formaldehyde emissions measured at approximately 0.01 ppm (well below legal thresholds and within Class E1 compliance). Fully CE‑certified to UNI EN 14342 standards.
- Optional High‑Performance Treatments: Silver‑Protector (antibacterial) or hi‑tech wear-resistant coatings available for high-traffic or hygiene-critical environments.
- Installation: Suitable for floating or glue-down installations and fully compatible with underfloor heating systems, subject to correct acclimatization and professional installation.
Design Applications & Aesthetic Fit
Washed Black delivers grounded sophistication and architectural presence, perfect for:
- Urban lofts, creative studios, or gallery settings where materials read with depth
- Boutique hospitality or retail environments that favour refined neutrality
- Contemporary residential interiors ranging from minimalist to industrial-driven schemes
Pair with raw concrete, matte metals, or stone finishes for maximum impact. Under natural light, the subtle tonal variations shift and evolve—adding life to even static room compositions.
