Product Details
Warm Wheat-Brown Color with Grain Contrast
Engineered oak flooring in RIVA Warm Wheat introduces a warm wheat-brown tone with noticeable contrast between lighter and darker grain. For project material boards, it offers a wood color to compare with cream walls, earth-toned textiles, stone, and cabinetry. The selection should consider how that grain contrast contributes to the whole interior, rather than color alone.
Review representative boards alongside adjoining materials before approval. Warm Wheat describes appearance only; it does not identify smoking, staining, brushing, or another surface process. Natural variation should be included in the agreed sample reference.

CD Grade with Documented Appearance Criteria
This page covers Warm Wheat in CD Grade. Character can describe its natural wood features, but it is not a universal synonym for CD. Grade definitions vary among suppliers and markets, so the project specification should state CD Grade and refer to mutually agreed written criteria and an approved sample.
The same Warm Wheat color is offered separately in ABC Grade. Keep grade-specific photographs, samples, and purchasing descriptions distinct. Do not use the shared color name as the sole product identifier.

Configuration and Project Quality Review
The 1900 × 190mm boards offer 14/3mm or 15/4mm thickness configurations. Select the construction, UV-oiled or UV-lacquered finish, and tongue-and-groove or locking profile for the order. The finished combination must be confirmed as a complete specification.
VIF supports OEM color development, sample communication, weekly order updates, inspection reports, and factory audit arrangements. Retain the approved sample and configuration record together to support project purchasing and quality review.

Design Pairing Suggestions
Warm Neutrals and Earth Tones
Compare Warm Wheat with cream wall finishes, beige stone, and earth-toned upholstery. Use actual material samples to assess whether the warmth and grain contrast support the intended composition.
Contrast with Simple Cabinetry
For schemes with plain cabinet fronts and restrained furniture lines, review how the flooring’s grain contrast becomes part of the visual emphasis. Confirm the CD appearance through representative samples rather than a single board photograph.
Villa and Hotel Material Presentations
Include the flooring sample with proposed wall finishes, textiles, cabinetry, and metal details in villa or hotel interior proposals. These are design directions, not completed project references or guarantees of commercial performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does RIVA Warm Wheat CD Grade look like?
Warm Wheat has a warm wheat-brown color with distinct light and dark grain contrast. Review the CD Grade sample to assess the selected natural wood character. Photographs provide a reference, while final color and appearance approval should follow physical samples.
2. Is Character another name for CD Grade?
Character is a descriptive term for natural wood features, not a fixed letter grade. Its meaning can vary across suppliers and grading systems. This product is specifically CD Grade, with acceptance based on mutually agreed written criteria and an approved sample.
3. How should Warm Wheat CD and ABC be compared?
Request photographs and samples identified by both color and grade, then compare them against the project’s appearance requirements. ABC is called Premium within the RIVA series, but this does not make it equivalent to another supplier’s Select grade. Neither grade name should be used to assume specific knot, crack, or filler limits.
4. What configurations can be selected?
Boards measure 1900 × 190mm, with either 14mm total thickness and a 3mm oak face or 15mm total thickness and a 4mm oak face. Construction, finish, and joint profile are selected from the listed options and confirmed as a specific combination for the order.
5. Can VIF develop a custom color sample?
OEM color customization is supported. Provide the target color reference, CD Grade requirements, and preferred configuration for sample discussion. Sample development takes approximately two weeks, with sample specifications and charges to be confirmed. Allow for natural wood variation during approval.
6. What production timing and order support are available?
Production lead time starts from 45 days after receipt of deposit, subject to mutual confirmation for the specific order. This is production timing, not delivery timing. Weekly order updates, inspection reports, and factory audit arrangements are supported.
