At Eco Friendly Heating and Flooring, this is a popular choice for buyers who want a lighter, more natural alternative to darker smoked wood floors.
With its golden, organic tones and expressive grain, this floor brings a relaxed, natural feel to living spaces while still offering the durability and performance expected from a premium engineered wood floor.
Design & Natural Character
Natural Larch – Bright & Airy
Unlike the darker smoked version, Natural Larch showcases the raw beauty of the wood with a pale golden tone. It reflects light well, helping rooms feel larger, brighter and more open-ideal for modern homes, cottages and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
Rustikal Grading – Full of Character
The Rustikal grading highlights the natural personality of the wood, including:
- Visible knots and grain variation
- Natural colour movement
- A more expressive, “organic” look
This makes it ideal for buyers who want a floor with real depth and individuality, rather than a uniform appearance.
Wide Plank Format
The 2200 x 185mm wide planks create a premium, spacious feel and help showcase the natural variation of the larch wood.
4-Sided Mini Bevel (M4V)
A subtle bevel on all four sides of each plank helps define individual boards and enhances the authentic engineered wood look.
Natural Oil Plus Finish - What It Means
The Natural Oil Plus finish penetrates into the wood rather than sitting on top like lacquer.
- Creates a very natural, matt appearance
- Enhances grain and texture
- Allows the wood to “breathe”
- Can be refreshed and maintained over time
This gives a more authentic feel underfoot compared to lacquered floors, making it ideal for buyers who want a true wood experience.
Natural vs Smoked Larch - Which Should You Choose?
This floor is often compared to the smoked version (1739904). The choice usually comes down to light vs dark interior style:
| Feature | Natural Larch | Smoked Larch |

| Colour | Light gold / straw | Dark chocolate |
| Room Feel | Bright, airy, spacious | Moody, rich, dramatic |
| Maintenance | Hides dust well | Shows dust more easily |
