Walnut Classic 3060 3-strip Matt lacquer

Parador American Walnut 3-Strip Natur Matt Lacquer Engineered Wood Floor – Classic 3060

Premium Parador engineered walnut flooring with Natur grading, seamless 3-strip design, matt lacquer finish and durable 3.6mm wear layer.

The Parador American Walnut 3-Strip from the Classic 3060 collection is a high-end engineered wood floor designed for interiors where warmth, depth of colour and natural character are key.

Unlike laminate alternatives, this is real wood flooring, offering the unmistakable richness and variation of genuine walnut. The deep tones and fine grain create a sophisticated, timeless look that works beautifully in both classic and modern interiors.

Why Choose Walnut Over Laminate?

While laminate flooring can replicate the look of wood, this engineered walnut floor offers a completely different level of authenticity and performance:

Real wood surface: unique grain and natural variation in every plank

Warmer underfoot: more comfortable than laminate

Quieter: reduced hollow sound compared to laminate floors

Refinishable: can be sanded and restored over time

Premium feel: deeper colour and texture than printed laminate designs

This makes it a long-term investment compared to shorter-life laminate flooring.

3-Strip Design – Classic Parquet Look

The 3-strip (shipdeck) format gives the appearance of multiple smaller wood pieces within each plank. This creates a more traditional, lively floor pattern compared to wide planks.

Unlike true parquet (such as herringbone), the pattern is pre-designed within each plank, making installation significantly easier while still achieving a classic look.

Natur Grading – Balanced Natural Appearance

Natur grading provides a calm, balanced look with natural colour variation and subtle grain movement.

Natur: balanced, refined natural look

Living: more variation and movement

Rustikal: strong knots and expressive character

This makes Natur ideal for customers who want real wood without an overly rustic appearance.

Matt Lacquer Finish – Durable & Easy Care

The matt lacquer surface protects the wood while maintaining a natural, low-sheen appearance.

• Resistant to everyday wear and staining

• Easier to clean than oiled finishes

• Maintains a natural wood look without high gloss
