⚠️ 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.
  • Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with UFH systems when fully bonded to the screed. This ensures efficient heat transfer and 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 pattern.
  • Rustic Character: This is an "Extra Rustic" floor. Expect large knots, filled splits, and distinct saw marks. These are intended features that give the floor its aged, reclaimed look.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

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

The finish (colour and texture) is the same, 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.

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 creates the texture?

The floor features a combination of hand-scraping (creating gentle ripples) and saw marks (rough cuts across the grain). This gives the floor a rugged, historic appearance that hides scratches and wear exceptionally well.

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.
