Infused White Oak 90mm Engineered Herringbone

Infused White Oak is a light, fresh herringbone that brightens a room while keeping the natural grain in view. The 90mm blocks have a 2mm real oak top layer and a UV oiled finish.

Look and character

The colour is light, with a white tone worked into the oak so it looks pale and clean rather than yellow. Rustic grade oak adds knots and grain movement, which gives a white floor more character than a plain painted look. The UV oiled surface keeps the feel natural and matt. It is a good choice for small rooms, Scandinavian and coastal schemes, and spaces that don't get much daylight.

Construction and specification

The 90 x 450mm block is a classic herringbone size that works in small rooms and open-plan spaces alike. Bevels on all four edges (4V) frame each block and help the geometry stand out. Each block is 14mm thick overall, with a 2mm real oak top layer bonded to a multi-ply base. A 2mm layer gives a genuine oak surface in a slimmer build; ask a fitter before planning any future sanding. Cross-laid layers resist the swelling and shrinking that solid wood is prone to, which helps the joints stay tight. A pack covers 1.62 m² of floor.

Where it works

Laid lengthways down a hallway, a herringbone draws the eye through the space. It is suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens and conservatories, and it can be used on stairs too. Stairs need a finished edge, so add stair nosing to the order.

Fitting and underfloor heating

The tongue and groove blocks can be floated or glued down, depending on your subfloor. Herringbone involves more cutting than a straight plank floor, so add about 10% to your measured area for cuts and waste. If you float it, choose a suitable flooring underlay first. Scotia beading gives a tidy finish where the floor meets the skirting. Underfloor heating is fine with this floor; browse more underfloor heating flooring if you are comparing.
