{"product_id":"natural-oak-herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring-riviera-14mm","title":"Natural Oak 125mm Engineered Herringbone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Natural Oak herringbone uses larger 125mm blocks, which give a bolder zigzag and long runs of grain. It is a 14mm engineered floor with a 3mm real oak top layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is medium natural oak, warm and unstained. A brushed matt lacquered finish gives the surface soft texture and a low sheen while protecting it. Classic grade oak shows some knots and variation. The combination of a natural tone and a large block suits open-plan spaces and bigger living rooms, where a small pattern could look busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 14\/3mm figures describe two parts of the same block: 14mm is the full thickness, and 3mm of that is the real oak top layer you see and walk on. Because the plies run in alternating directions, the blocks move far less than solid timber as the heating comes on and the seasons change. 3mm of real oak gives you the grain and feel of timber, with scope for a careful professional sand later on. At 125 x 600mm, each block shows a good run of grain, so the herringbone reads as confident rather than busy. The 4V bevelled edges give each block a fine shadow line on all four sides. One pack lays 1.2 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can lay it in hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, conservatories and kitchens, and carry it on up the stairs. On stairs, finish each tread with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e. In a hallway the zigzag leads you through the house; in a dining room it frames the table. Like any real oak floor it isn't waterproof, so keep standing water off it in the kitchen.
