Oak Herringbone Flooring: A Sophisticated Option With Timeless Appeal

 

Oak herringbone flooring is a solution that many people don’t know is even possible if you’re re-flooring the likes of a bathroom, kitchen or a room that has under floor heating. But if you’re thinking this way, today’s the day to think again. A style of flooring that’s associated with stately homes and castles, most people think that oak herringbone flooring has to be painstakingly created using blocks of solid wood; but this simply isn’t the case.

This range of engineered oak herringbone flooring isn’t just great to look at, it’s easy to install and is currently on offer, so you really have no reason to let it pass you by. As the name suggests, herringbone flooring is made up in herringbone patterns that either involve big ‘vs’ running at 45 degrees to each other like this, or smaller, offset ‘vs’ like this. Either way, the end result is a stunningly interesting finished floor.

For anyone who’s not familiar with it, engineered wood flooring is cleverly constructed flooring boards that are made of layers and layers of ply that are topped with, in this case solid oak. The way these boards are constructed means that they don’t expand and contract to nearly the same extent as solid wood. When wood flooring boards expand and contract, that expansion and contraction can ultimately cause damage to the overall floor. So, engineered herringbone wood flooring is a floor board that has all the appeal and charm of solid oak yet the stability of engineered wood flooring, which is a real winning combination.

No matter whether you are looking to create a light and airy lounge or a dark and interesting dining room, you can do it by choosing from our range of oak herringbone flooring. Here are just some examples of styles you could choose:

Light and natural. A great way to add light and charm to any room in the home, this prime engineered oak herringbone flooring in sunny white that’s been brushed and UV oiled is a great solution. At 15mm thick, with a 3mm solid oak top layer, you get a solid board that’s easy to lay and yet has all the complicated look of old fashioned herringbone flooring. Currently reduced in price by 57%, you really should add this wood flooring solution to your list of “possibles” if you haven’t done so already.

Warm honey tones. When you think of polished oak, this really is the sort of colour that typically springs to mind. This select engineered oak herringbone flooring that has been UV lacquered really is hard to beat. The perfect solution for a busy hall or a stylish bathroom, with this 18mm board, you really can let your imagination run wild. What’s more, at under £43 per square meter instead of almost £100, you know you’re getting a bargain that will never date.

Rich and red. In this case, the herringbone flooring is walnut rather than oak, but nonetheless, it really is a stunning option. Prime, engineered American walnut is a highly sought after floor material because it is so recognisable and so appealing. On this floor, the herringbone pattern only adds to the charm, as does the 57% price reduction! So it’s no surprise that this flooring solution is so in demand right now.

Dark and interesting. Smoking oak results in wood flooring that has dark and interesting charm and there are few more charming examples than this prime engineered smoked oak herringbone flooring. With its UV oiled finish, this flooring is dark, interesting and highly natural looking as well as being protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Suited for use in any room in the home, at only a tad over £50 per square meter, you know you can’t go wrong with this choice.

Something just a bit different. Grey wood flooring is a great compromise if you fancy something ultra-modern, but don’t have the courage to plump for pure white or jet black. This prime engineered oak herringbone white grey brushed UV oiled wood flooring is for you if you want to create a modern, up to the minute look with an almost monochrome backdrop.
