Parador Ash Amarone Brown 3-Strip Living Matt Lacquer Engineered Wood Floor – Classic 3060
Premium Parador engineered ash flooring with a warm Amarone brown tone, Living grading, 3-strip format, matt lacquer finish and a durable 3.6mm wear layer.
The Parador Ash Amarone Brown 3-Strip from the Classic 3060 collection is a high-quality engineered wood floor designed for buyers who want the strength and distinctive grain of ash, combined with a deeper, warmer brown tone.
This floor has a rich Amarone brown colour that adds warmth and depth to living spaces, while still allowing the lively natural grain of ash to show through. Compared with oak, ash usually has a more pronounced and energetic grain pattern, giving the floor a more distinctive appearance.
The Living grading gives this floor a vibrant, earthy look, with visible natural variation, grain movement and subtle knots. It is ideal if you want a floor with more life and character than a very uniform grade, but without the heavier rustic look of Rustikal.
3-Strip Design – A Traditional, Lively Look
The 3-strip format gives the appearance of multiple smaller timber strips within each plank. This creates a classic shipdeck-style floor with more movement and variation than a wide plank design.
It is a strong choice for living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms and homes where you want a traditional wood floor feel with a slightly more dynamic surface pattern.
Matt Lacquer Finish – Natural Look, Easy Care
The matt lacquer finish protects the ash surface while keeping a natural, low-sheen appearance. It is practical for everyday homes because it is easier to clean and maintain than many oiled finishes.
- Low-sheen natural appearance
- Durable surface protection
- Easy everyday cleaning
- Helps protect against dirt and wear
Seamless Without-Bevel Surface
This floor has a without bevel joint pattern, meaning the planks fit flush together without noticeable grooves. This creates a smooth, uniform floor surface and a cleaner overall installation pattern.
Underfloor Heating, Underlay & Installation
This engineered wood flooring is suitable for installation with underfloor heating systems and underfloor cooling when installed correctly.
The Automatic-Click system allows secure, glue-free installation with long and end edge locking, making the floor suitable for professional fitting or confident DIY installation.

FAQ's
Is ash harder than oak?
Yes. Ash is generally considered harder than oak on the Janka scale, making it a durable choice for busy living areas. It also has a more defined grain pattern than oak.
What does Living grading mean?
Living grading gives the floor a lively and natural look, with visible grain, colour variation and some character. It is more expressive than Natur, but usually less knot-heavy than Rustikal.
What does Amarone brown look like?
Amarone brown gives the ash a warm, deeper brown tone while still allowing the natural grain to show. It is a good option if you want something richer than pale ash but not as dark as walnut.
Can this floor be sanded and refinished?
Yes. The 3.6mm solid ash wear layer allows the floor to be professionally sanded and refinished during its lifetime.
Does this floor have bevels?
No. This floor has a without-bevel joint pattern, so the boards fit flush together for a smooth, seamless surface.
Is this suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes. This engineered wood floor is suitable for underfloor heating and cooling when installed correctly with the right underlay and temperature controls.
How do I clean the matt lacquer finish?
Use regular vacuuming or sweeping, followed by a well-wrung damp mop and a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner. Avoid steam mops and standing water.
Does it need to acclimatise before installation?
Yes. Like all real wood floors, unopened packs should usually be stored in the installation room for at least 48 hours before fitting so the wood can adjust to the room conditions.
Can I install it in a bathroom?
No. Real wood flooring is not recommended for full bathrooms or wet rooms due to high humidity and standing water, which can cause swelling or movement.
Can it be used in kitchens?
Yes, with care. It can be used in kitchens if spills are cleaned promptly and standing water is avoided.
Is this floor eco-friendly?
Yes. It is made using wood from sustainably managed sources and has low emissions, helping support better indoor air quality and a healthier home environment.
