Waterproof Parquet: Weymouth Alaskan Oak Herringbone

Combine the timeless elegance of parquet with modern resilience. Weymouth Alaskan Oak Herringbone is a 100% waterproof floor that brings a cool, Nordic sophisticated look to your home.

Part of the innovative Weymouth collection, this floor allows you to install a classic herringbone pattern in rooms previously off-limits to wood, like bathrooms and kitchens. The design features a cool palette of pale greys and icy highlights, enhanced by authentic saw-mark detailing for a rugged, natural look. Crafted with a rigid Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) core and a built-in underlay, it offers superior stability, sound reduction, and waterproofing in one easy-to-install package.

Installation & care

⚠️ Installation & Benefits

  • 100% Waterproof: Ideal for wet areas. The mineral-resin core creates a seal that water cannot penetrate, unlike laminate or real wood.
  • Built-In Underlay: Each plank comes with a 1mm underlay attached. Do not use extra underlay, as this can damage the locking system.
  • Floating Installation: Unlike traditional parquet which must be glued down, this SPC floor clicks together and floats, making it much faster and cleaner to install.
  • Wastage: Remember that herringbone patterns require more cuts than straight planks. We recommend allowing for 10-15% wastage.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need underlay?

No. The planks have a built-in underlay attached to the back. This saves you money and speeds up installation.

What is the difference between this and the standard Alaskan Oak?

The colour and material are identical, but the format is different. The standard version comes in long planks, while this is a Herringbone block (120mm x 600mm). This allows you to create the classic zigzag pattern.

Is it harder to install than the plank version?

A little, yes. You need to align the "A" and "B" boards correctly to form the pattern, and there is more cutting involved at the edges. However, thanks to the Easiloc click system, it is still much easier than traditional glue-down parquet.

Is it waterproof?

Yes, completely. Like the rest of the Weymouth range, it has a limestone-composite core that is impervious to water. It is safe for bathrooms and kitchens.

Can I mix it with the plank version?

Yes! The colours are designed to match perfectly. You could use the herringbone in a hallway or kitchen for impact, and the standard planks in the living room for a seamless flow (using a transition strip between rooms).
