{"product_id":"unfinished-oak-herringbone-engineered-wood-flooring-raw-18mm","title":"Unfinished Oak 90mm Engineered Herringbone, 18\/4mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 18mm Unfinished Oak herringbone is the heavier raw option, with 4mm of real oak on top and 90mm blocks. It comes bare, ready for the finish you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLook and character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntreated, the oak has a medium natural tone with visible grain and character. After fitting, it can be oiled, lacquered or stained, so the floor can match existing joinery or take a colour of your own. Classic grade oak includes some knots and variation. The thicker top layer gives more room for finishing and refinishing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 90 x 400mm block is a classic herringbone size that works in small rooms and open-plan spaces alike. Under the 4mm real oak surface sits a multi-ply base, bringing each block to 18mm in total. Engineering the board this way keeps it flatter and more stable than a solid block of the same size. A 4mm top layer leaves a good depth of oak for sanding and refinishing later on. A 4V bevel puts a small chamfer on all four edges, so every block is outlined and the pattern reads crisply. Each pack covers 1.44 m².\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. It is listed for kitchens, conservatories, hallways, bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms, as well as stairs. For a staircase, pair it with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stair-nosing\"\u003estair nosing\u003c\/a\u003e for a neat edge on every tread.

Kitchens are fine as long as spills are wiped up, because real oak is not waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and underfloor heating\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit it with tongue and groove joints, either floating on a suitable underlay or fully glued down. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flooring-underlay\"\u003eflooring underlay\u003c\/a\u003e range covers floating installations. Underfloor heating is fine with this floor; browse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/underfloor-heating-flooring\"\u003eunderfloor heating flooring\u003c\/a\u003e if you are comparing. Because it is supplied unfinished, plan for oiling, lacquering or staining once it is laid. Herringbone involves more cutting than a straight plank floor, so add about 10% to your measured area for cuts and waste. Finish the edges with scotia beading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy order a large free sample\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sample shows you the true tone and finish of Unfinished Oak in your own daylight and lamp light.
