Transform your floor into a feature of historic grandeur with Orkney Passage Oak—an engineered herringbone floor that radiates the deep, inviting warmth of aged cognac.

The **Orkney** collection brings the sophisticated geometry of parquet into the modern home. **Passage Oak** is defined by its intense character; the blocks feature a rich palette of **warm browns and amber hues**, enhanced by a **hand-scraped surface** and authentic **visible saw marks**. This combination creates a floor that feels established and soulful, as if it has been part of the building's fabric for generations. Finished with a durable UV Oil, it offers the perfect marriage of rustic charm and modern durability.

Design Inspiration

🥃 The Gentleman's Club

The deep cognac tones evoke the atmosphere of a classic members' club. Pair with leather Chesterfield sofas, dark navy walls, and brass accents for a sophisticated, cozy retreat. Shop wood flooring.

🚪 Dramatic Entrance

Herringbone naturally guides the eye, making it perfect for hallways. The rugged, saw-marked texture is also highly practical, disguising the inevitable scuffs and dirt of a busy entrance area. View engineered wood.

👋 Tactile History

Unlike smooth vinyl or laminate, this floor has a story. The hand-scraped ripples and rough-sawn marks provide a unique texture underfoot, connecting you to the artisan craftsmanship of the wood. Browse oak flooring.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Installation Method: For a stable and long-lasting herringbone floor, we strictly recommend the full glue-down method. This prevents movement and ensures the pattern stays tight and secure.
  • Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with UFH systems when fully bonded to the screed. This ensures efficient heat transfer and board stability.
  • Wastage: Herringbone installations require more cutting than standard planks. We recommend allowing for **10-15% wastage** to ensure you have enough material to complete the intricate pattern.
  • Rustic Character: This floor is "Extra Rustic." Expect significant colour variation, large knots, and visible saw marks. These are deliberate design features intended to replicate the character of reclaimed timber.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is herringbone hard to install?

It requires more skill and time than standard planks. The blocks must be laid out precisely to ensure the pattern runs straight. We strongly recommend using a professional floor fitter experienced in parquet/herringbone installation.

What is the wear layer?

It features a substantial 4mm solid oak wear layer on top of a stable engineered core. This ensures the floor has the longevity of solid wood and can be sanded in the future if required.

Can I use this in a hallway?

Yes, it is perfect for hallways. The herringbone pattern directs the eye, making narrow spaces feel grander. The textured, rustic finish is also very practical for high-traffic areas as it disguises dirt and scuffs.

What is the difference between "Orkney" and "Dartmouth" Passage Oak?

The finish (colour and texture) is identical, but the format is different. Dartmouth is a standard wide plank (190mm x 1900mm), while Orkney is a herringbone block (90mm x 400mm). This allows you to choose the laying pattern that best suits your room, or use both to define different zones in an open-plan space.

What colour is "Passage Oak"?

Passage Oak is defined by its rich cognac and warm brown tones. It is darker and warmer than natural oak, offering a deep, classic look that anchors a room and adds immediate coziness.

Can I use this in a kitchen?

Yes, engineered oak is suitable for kitchens. The UV oil finish creates a durable seal against spills, although we recommend wiping up liquids immediately. The rustic, textured nature of Passage Oak is also very forgiving of daily wear and tear.
