Designed for Herringbone

This product is designed to be laid in a herringbone pattern, where rectangular blocks meet at right angles to form a classic zig-zag. It can also be laid in variations such as double herringbone and basket weave, and some symmetrical sizes allow the blocks to be fitted in square or diamond patterns too.

A timeless parquet design, herringbone adds movement and elegance to any room, from Victorian and Georgian period properties to modern open-plan spaces. Laying the pattern along the longest wall makes a room feel larger. Tongue-and-groove herringbone blocks are usually supplied as left and right (A/B) blocks.

Herringbone blocks should be glued down to a flat subfloor with a suitable wood flooring adhesive. Compare all herringbone parquet flooring in our range.

Oak Flooring

Oak is an extremely versatile wood type - a medium density hardwood, with strength, character and durability surpasses many other timber species. Oak starts soft and malleable, but once dry becomes hard and durable. Whether aged by the weather or preserved with a suitable stain or varnish, the beauty of Oak is undeniable. Its distinctive look exudes quality, and its rich colouring and attractive woodgrain deliver an elegant texture. Its rustic look is able to add instant charm and character to any application, whether situated internally or externally.

Prime Grade Selection

Timbercraft Herringbone Engineered Oak Parquet Flooring, Invisible, Lacquered, Prime 90x450x14 Mm is available in Prime grade, the most selective grade of timber. In the UK, Prime grade allows no knots and very little colour variation between planks, giving the floor a clean, even and uniform appearance.

This consistent look suits modern and minimalist interiors as well as elegant traditional schemes, and it works particularly well in large open-plan spaces, where a calm, uninterrupted surface makes the room feel bigger. Because only a small part of each log meets the Prime standard, it is usually the premium choice in a collection.

Grade describes the appearance of the wood, not its strength or durability. Compare all Prime grade flooring, or see Natural grade options for a little more character.

Installation

Tongue-and-groove parquet blocks must be fully glued down to a solid, flat and smooth subfloor, using an adhesive suitable for wood blocks. Suitable bases include plywood, chipboard, concrete and cement boards, sand-cement screeds and levelling compounds. Choose a strong-grab adhesive from our adhesives & damp-proofers range.

Non-timber subfloors such as concrete or screed may need a liquid damp-proof membrane (DPM) first, and should generally be below 75% relative humidity before the blocks are laid. The subfloor must also be flat, typically within 2–3 mm over 2 m, because small blocks follow every dip and hump.

Set out the layout from a centre line so the pattern stays square to the room, and leave a 10–15 mm expansion gap at the perimeter. Browse our full range of parquet flooring.
