Oak Vein
Diesel Living Flooring by Berti. Natural Oak Parquet Vein is a masterful interpretation of industrial elegance in wood flooring. Crafted in collaboration with Diesel Living, this finish celebrates oak’s distinctive grain through innovative brushing and pickling techniques that reveal its energy and texture. The result is a surface with a natural hazelnut tone accented by grey undertones that trace the wood’s veins—creating a nuanced, urban-inspired aesthetic.
Design & Aesthetic
The raw, tactile surface of Vein offers subtle visual complexity: the brushing treatment accentuates the wood’s natural structure, while controlled pickling adds tonal depth and a weathered character. Together, these techniques bring the oak’s liveliest veins into focus and craft an unexpectedly contemporary palette rooted in natural materials.
Construction & Formats
Engineered for durability and stability, Vein is available in multiple plank forms:
- Wide plank (2‑layer) offerings in 9.5 mm or 13 mm total thickness.
- Maxi, wide-plank, and herringbone/chevron options with board widths from approximately 110 mm to over 200 mm and lengths from 600 mm up to 2.5 m depending on format and thickness.
Each plank consists of a 4 mm oak top layer over birch plywood support, bonded with low-emission adhesives and coated using UV-dried water-based lacquers.
Technical Features & Durability
- Treated with a high-performance Hi‑tech finish that enhances wear-resistance and protects against impact and scratches.
- Surface hardness and durability can be upgraded for heavier foot traffic settings.
- Fire-rated DFL BFL‑s1 under UNI EN 13501‑1:2019 and CE marked according to EN 14342:2013.
- Formaldehyde emissions are well below regulatory maxima.
Applications & Styling
Vein is ideal for architects and designers seeking a wood floor that balances authenticity and refined industrial styling. Its understated color and organic grain make it an excellent foundation for:
- Gallery or creative studio floors.
- Boutique retail, hospitality, or high-end residential interiors.
- Spaces featuring neutral or raw material palettes—concrete, linen, matte metals.
Vein’s natural warmth with cooler greys also complements minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
Suitability for Australian Projects
This flooring aligns well with modern Australian design principles: natural tone, material integrity, and tailored texture. Its engineered stability and certified safety make it appropriate for a wide range of interior environments. Specifiers should confirm local compliance with NCC/BCA fire performance requirements and consider certified glue-down installation, especially over underfloor heating areas.
