Key Features of Herringbone European Oak Flooring
Herringbone adds a quiet sense of direction to a space. It catches the eye, but never dominates. The boards come in light to mid-tones like straw, pale honey, and the occasional natural feature like a knot or grain swirl. The end result is balanced: something with character, but not too much fuss.
You’ll often see this kind of flooring used in open-plan areas, hallways, or rooms where people want something with a bit of flow. It suits homes with both classic and more modern styling.
Engineered to Stay Steady
These boards are built in layers, European Oak on top and a stable multi-ply base underneath. That structure helps limit movement and expansion, even in changing seasons or across slab-based builds. If you’ve got underfloor heating or concrete subfloors, engineered timber like this tends to hold its shape better than solid alternatives.
- Janka Hardness: Around 6.0 kN
- Density: ~700 kg/m³
- BAL Rating: Suitable for BAL 12.5 zones
So if you’re working in a bushfire-prone area, it can meet that need without compromising on design.
Cut for a Clean Finish
The boards are supplied pre-cut for herringbone patterns, which makes the install cleaner and more accurate. Tongue-and-groove profiles help with a snug fit. They come raw, meaning you get to decide how they’re finished, matte, oiled, smoked, or stained.
Available sizes include:
- 710 x 126 x 18 mm
- 710 x 93 x 18 mm
These dimensions allow for a variety of layout options, from classic tight herringbone to slightly broader designs.
Day-to-Day Maintenance
Once sealed, this floor holds up well to regular use. You won’t need specialist cleaning kits, just sweep, vacuum, and mop occasionally. If you choose a finish with a bit of texture, it can even help disguise dust between cleans.
