Woodpecker Orkney Herringbone

Woodpecker Orkney: Herringbone Crafted for Character and Depth

Experience the architectural beauty of Woodpecker Orkney, a premium range of 15mm thick engineered oak flooring designed to bring timeless elegance to your home. Unlike standard parquet, Orkney features substantial blocks with a 4mm real oak wear layer, providing the depth and durability needed for a floor that can be sanded and refinished to last generations.

Defined by its extra-rustic grade, the Orkney collection celebrates the raw, natural character of oak, featuring visible knots, cracks, and unique grain variations. Finished with a protective UV oil, these 400mm x 90mm blocks offer a beautifully textured, matte surface that adds historic charm and a "lived-in" feel to any interior space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Orkney flooring engineered or solid oak?

Orkney is engineered oak supplied as herringbone blocks, 15mm thick with a 4mm real oak wear layer and tongue-and-groove joints over a stable core. It can be sanded and refinished over its life and is backed by a 100-year domestic warranty.

What finishes are in the Orkney collection?

Orkney is a hand-finished herringbone range with visible saw marks and rich character, in tones from cognac Passage and earthy Fauna to grey Pewter and Truffle and smoked Smokey Oak. Each 90mm x 400mm block builds into a classic parquet floor.

Can Orkney herringbone be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. Orkney is compatible with underfloor heating when glued down, thanks to its engineered construction. Allow the blocks to acclimatise in the room first and keep the surface temperature within Woodpecker's recommended limits.

How is Orkney herringbone flooring installed?

Orkney blocks are laid in a herringbone pattern using their tongue-and-groove joints, and can be floated, secret-nailed or fully glued down. Glue-down is recommended over underfloor heating for the best heat transfer and stability.

What warranty does Orkney come with, and can I order samples?

Orkney is backed by a 100-year domestic warranty. You can order free cut samples to see the herringbone finish in your own light, and we offer free UK delivery on orders over £1,000, plus a full display at our Ascot showroom.

Woodpecker Orkney Herringbone Flooring

Orkney brings the most elegant of parquet patterns to engineered oak: 15mm herringbone blocks with a 4mm real oak wear layer, laid in the classic zig-zag that has graced fine homes for centuries. Tongue and groove joints make for a precise, satisfying fit, and the floor is backed by Woodpecker's 100-year warranty.

Why Choose Orkney Herringbone?

Herringbone adds movement and craftsmanship to a room in a way straight planks cannot, and the engineered core keeps the pattern stable where solid parquet would shift. The generous 4mm oak wear layer means the floor can be refreshed over its lifetime, making Orkney as practical as it is beautiful in hallways, living rooms and kitchens.
