{"product_id":"herringbone-european-oak-timber-flooring","title":"Herringbone European Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you want a timber floor that brings a bit of structure without being over the top, Herringbone European Oak is a solid option. The layout gives a clear sense of movement, while the oak keeps things subtle and warm. These engineered boards are stable, pre-cut for a clean herringbone layout, and left raw so you can choose your own finish. With a Janka rating of around 6.0 and a BAL 12.5 rating, they’re a reliable fit for Australian homes in low to moderate bushfire zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features of Herringbone European Oak Flooring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerringbone 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineered to Stay Steady\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Janka Hardness: \u003c\/b\u003e Around 6.0 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Density: \u003c\/b\u003e~700 kg\/m³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e BAL Rating: \u003c\/b\u003e Suitable for BAL 12.5 zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo if you’re working in a bushfire-prone area, it can meet that need without compromising on design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCut for a Clean Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boards are supplied pre-cut for herringbone patterns, which makes the install cleaner and more accurate.
