{"product_id":"natural-smooth-oak-herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring","title":"Natural Smooth Oak 90mm Engineered Herringbone","description":"\u003cp\u003eNatural Smooth Oak is a refined 90mm herringbone with an unbrushed, smooth surface. It is engineered, 14mm thick, with a 3mm real oak top layer and a lacquered finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is medium natural oak, warm and classic. Unlike brushed oak, the surface is left smooth, so the grain is seen rather than felt. The lacquer seals the oak with a smooth protective coat. Classic grade oak shows some knots and variation. It suits formal rooms and tidy modern interiors where a clean, even surface looks right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe build is 14mm in total, made up of a 3mm layer of real oak over cross-laid plywood. Engineering the board this way keeps it flatter and more stable than a solid block of the same size. The 3mm layer is a common, practical depth for engineered oak, and a fitter can usually give it a light sand in the future. The 90 x 450mm block is a classic herringbone size that works in small rooms and open-plan spaces alike. A 4V bevel puts a small chamfer on all four edges, so every block is outlined and the pattern reads crisply. A pack covers 1.944 m² of floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a hallway the zigzag leads you through the house; in a dining room it frames the table. It is suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens and conservatories, and it can be used on stairs too. On stairs, finish each tread with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e. Browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring\"\u003eengineered herringbone floors\u003c\/a\u003e to see it next to other colours. In a kitchen, mop up spills promptly, as real oak is not waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and underfloor heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is tongue and groove, and your fitter can choose a floating or glue-down method. If you float it, choose a suitable \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flooring-underlay\"\u003eflooring underlay\u003c\/a\u003e first. Add around 10% to the room size to cover cuts and waste. It is suitable for underfloor heating; see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/underfloor-heating-flooring\"\u003eunderfloor heating flooring\u003c\/a\u003e for more options.
