Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone flooring is a classic pattern that never goes out of style. Made from carefully cut oak blocks, it creates a distinctive look that works just as well in period homes as it does in modern spaces.

Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone flooring is built from smaller oak blocks arranged in a zig-zag pattern, giving you a parquet floor that’s both timeless and striking. Unlike long planks, herringbone brings extra texture, making it a popular choice for living rooms, hallways and open-plan spaces where you want to create impact.

The construction is engineered for durability, with an oak top layer over stable timber layers beneath. This means you get the beauty of real oak with the added reassurance of strength and stability, even in spaces with underfloor heating.

Available in a variety of finishes and colours, herringbone can be tailored to suit traditional interiors or styled with a contemporary twist. Whatever you choose, it delivers a statement floor that combines lasting performance with a design that has been loved for centuries.
