SEASHELL

Our UV oil brings out the best in natural timber, enhancing tone, texture, and grain with a soft, matte appearance that looks and feels authentic. The result is a low-sheen, almost velvet-like surface that’s warm underfoot and rich in detail, without artificial gloss or build-up.

The beauty of our UV oil lies in how it lets the timber speak for itself. Colour variation, grain movement, and natural character remain visible and feel close to the surface, rather than buried under heavy coating. It creates a more organic, lived-in feel from day one.

While UV oils aren’t quite as robust against stains and spills as lacquer finishes, they’re easy to refresh and maintain. With proper care, they’ll stand the test of time.

This product features unsmoked European oak. Left in its natural state, the timber has a cleaner base tone and more subtle variation—ideal for soft, neutral finishes that highlight the natural beauty of the grain. As with all oak, natural variation will still be present, but the overall tone is more controlled. Final appearance will depend on the selected grading and finish.

This surface has been sanded smooth with no brushing, resulting in a clean, uniform finish. It keeps the grain visible but soft, offering a more minimal texture where colour and clarity take the lead.

Grading is one of the biggest factors in the overall look of a floor, and one of the easiest places for quality to slip.

At Frevini, we carry out our grading with tight tolerances and clear criteria. Especially in our Select and Nature grades, we’re far stricter than industry norms, meaning fewer surprises on site and a more consistent, reliable outcome for your project.

We offer three grading options across our standard ranges:

• Select: A clean grade with consistent tone, tight grain, and only the occasional small knot (up to 10mm). No sapwood.
• Nature: A mostly clean appearance with just enough movement to keep it interesting. Expect moderate knots (up to 25mm), visible grain, and tonal variation, but no sapwood. Well-balanced and versatile.
• Character: Often referred to as Feature grade. The most expressive. Larger knots (up to 60mm), heavier grain, visible sapwood (up to 30%). Full of natural contrast and detail.

Super Select is also available in certain profiles and sizes, on request.
