Parador Oak Sauvignon Light Whitewashed 3-Strip Natur White Matt Lacquer Engineered Wood Floor – Classic 3060
Premium Parador engineered oak flooring with Natur grading, 3-strip format, white matt lacquer finish and easy Automatic-Click installation.
The Parador Oak Sauvignon Light Whitewashed 3-Strip Natur from the Classic 3060 product line is a high-quality engineered wood floor designed for interiors where brightness, natural character and practicality are key.
This floor features a light whitewashed matt lacquer finish, giving the oak a clean, Scandinavian-style appearance. It helps reflect light, making rooms feel larger and brighter, while also being very practical at hiding dust and light surface marks.
The 3-strip (shipsdeck) format means each plank contains three narrower strips of wood. This creates a more dynamic and detailed pattern compared to wide plank flooring, making it especially effective in smaller rooms or spaces where you want more visual movement.
The Natur grading offers a balanced, natural appearance with moderate variation — more character than Select grades, but less knotty than Rustikal.
This floor features a smooth, bevel-free design, meaning planks join seamlessly without visible gaps, creating a clean, uniform and modern look.
Each plank measures 2200 x 185 x 13mm and includes a 3.6mm real wood wear layer, allowing for potential sanding and refinishing over time. The Automatic-Click system ensures easy, secure installation.
Is Natur the Right Parador Grading for You?
- Natur: balanced and natural with moderate variation
- Living: slightly more movement and visual interest
- Living Plus: more vibrant and earthy
- Rustikal: knotty, expressive and traditional
Natur is ideal if you want a clean, natural look without heavy rustic features.
