Choose the Right Finish for Your Herringbone Floor
The finish you select can influence both the appearance and maintenance of your solid wood parquet flooring.
- Brushed matt lacquered oak: Combines a textured surface with a matt lacquered finish.
- Golden smoked brushed and UV oiled oak: Offers warmer tones and a textured appearance.
- Invisible lacquered oak: Provides a more natural-looking finish while retaining a lacquer coating.

Unfinished parquet flooring generally requires appropriate preparation and finishing after installation. Follow the manufacturer's guidance to ensure the chosen treatment is suitable for the timber and installation method.
Why Choose Solid Wood Herringbone Flooring?
The herringbone pattern creates a distinctive geometric effect that adds visual interest to a room. Its repeated arrangement of rectangular blocks can complement traditional properties, modern interiors and a wide range of decorative styles.
Solid wood parquet also allows the natural grain and individual characteristics of the timber to remain part of the finished design. With suitable installation and maintenance, it can provide a long-lasting flooring option for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is solid wood parquet herringbone flooring?
Solid wood parquet herringbone flooring uses individual blocks of real timber arranged in a repeating zigzag pattern. This creates a distinctive decorative floor with natural wood grain and traditional character.
2. What is the difference between prime and rustic oak parquet flooring?
Prime oak parquet generally has a more uniform appearance, with fewer prominent natural features. Rustic oak usually shows more variation in grain, knots and colour, creating a more characterful finish. Exact grading standards vary by product.
3. Can I buy unfinished herringbone parquet blocks?
Yes. This collection includes unfinished oak, teak and Merbau parquet options. Unfinished blocks usually require an appropriate finishing treatment, so check the product instructions and installation requirements before ordering.
4. Is solid wood parquet flooring suitable for busy areas?
Solid wood parquet can be suitable for living rooms, dining rooms and hallways when installed and maintained correctly. Its suitability depends on the timber, finish, moisture conditions and expected foot traffic. Avoid installing it in persistently damp areas unless the manufacturer specifically approves it.
5. How much extra parquet flooring should I order?
Measure the floor area and add an allowance for cutting and fitting waste. Around 10% extra can be a useful starting point for straightforward herringbone layouts, although more may be needed for complex rooms or intricate patterns. Ask your installer to confirm the quantity required.
