{"product_id":"smoked-limed-oak-herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring","title":"Smoked Limed Oak 90mm Engineered Herringbone","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmoked Limed Oak combines two traditional treatments: smoking to darken the oak and liming to lift the grain. It is a 90mm engineered herringbone with a 3mm real oak top layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe overall tone is dark and smoky, while the limed effect draws paler lines through the open grain, so the texture stands out. Brushing deepens that texture, and a UV oiled finish keeps the surface natural and matt. Classic grade oak adds some knots and variation. The contrast of dark wood and lighter grain gives the floor depth and a characterful, rustic feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 90mm width with a 450mm length gives a balanced zigzag, less busy than small-block parquet and less bold than the wide formats. The 4V bevelled edges give each block a fine shadow line on all four sides. In 14\/3mm terms, 14mm is how thick the whole block is and 3mm is the depth of real oak on its face. A 3mm oak layer can be lightly sanded and refinished by a professional if the surface ever needs refreshing. That engineered core is what keeps the floor steady when the air in the room gets drier or more humid through the year. Packs cover 1.944 m² each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerringbone runs well from room to room, so it can link a hall, kitchen and living space in one pattern. Rooms listed for this floor are the living room, bedroom, dining room, hallway, kitchen and conservatory, plus stairs. Stairs need a finished edge, so add \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e to the order. Browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring\"\u003eherringbone engineered wood floors\u003c\/a\u003e to see it next to other colours. Like any real oak floor it isn't waterproof, so keep standing water off it in the kitchen.\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. For a floating fit, start with the right \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flooring-underlay\"\u003eunderlay for wood floors\u003c\/a\u003e. The floor is suitable for use with underfloor heating, like the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/underfloor-heating-flooring\"\u003eunderfloor heating flooring\u003c\/a\u003e. Add around 10% to the room size to cover cuts and waste. Matching scotia beading neatens the join at the skirting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy order a large free sample\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eScreens can't show texture or sheen properly, so a large free sample of Smoked Limed Oak is the best way to judge it.
