Grey Brushed Oak 150mm Engineered Herringbone

Grey Brushed Oak is a wide 150mm herringbone in a deep grey, with click joints for a floating installation. It has a 3mm real oak top layer on a 14mm multi-ply base.

Look and character

The colour is a dark grey that lets the oak grain and knots show through. Rustic grade means those knots and grain changes are plentiful, which gives a grey floor warmth and life. The surface is brushed for texture and matt lacquered, so it has a low sheen and is sealed against everyday wear. In a large format, grey herringbone feels modern and calm, and suits open-plan kitchens and living spaces.

Construction and specification

Wide 150mm blocks, 600mm long, give a relaxed, large-scale zigzag that suits open-plan living. Each block is 14mm thick overall, with a 3mm real oak top layer bonded to a multi-ply base. Because the plies run in alternating directions, the blocks move far less than solid timber as the heating comes on and the seasons change. A 3mm oak layer can be lightly sanded and refinished by a professional if the surface ever needs refreshing. Bevels on all four edges (4V) frame each block and help the geometry stand out. Packs cover 1.8 m² each.

Where it works

In a hallway the zigzag leads you through the house; in a dining room it frames the table. Rooms listed for this floor are the living room, bedroom, dining room, hallway, kitchen and conservatory, plus stairs. In a kitchen, mop up spills promptly, as real oak is not waterproof. On stairs, finish each tread with stair nosing. See more herringbone engineered wood floors if you want to compare.

Fitting and underfloor heating

Click joints mean the herringbone goes down as a floating floor, which keeps installation simpler than a bonded parquet. Choose a suitable flooring underlay to go underneath. Add around 10% to the room size to cover cuts and waste. The floor is suitable for use with underfloor heating, like the rest of our underfloor heating flooring. Scotia beading gives a tidy finish where the floor meets the skirting.
