Hidalgo herringbone puts one of our deeper, warm brown oaks into a herringbone pattern. It gives a traditional, rich look that suits formal dining rooms, entrance halls and older homes with original joinery.
The pieces are 900 × 150 × 15 mm, with a 4 mm European oak wear layer over an engineered core, micro bevel, tongue and groove, and a matte brushed surface. Twelve pieces per pack, 1.62 m².
Where it looks best
A darker herringbone shows the pattern strongly, so it looks best where there is enough floor to show it. A long hallway in a Victorian or Edwardian house in Hawthorn is a classic example: light from the front door and the fanlight, dark painted skirtings, and a pattern that leads you down the hall. In a small or dim space, consider a lighter tone such as Light Tan herringbone.
Joining it to plank
You can run Hidalgo plank through the connecting rooms to keep the colour consistent. At the join we either use a threshold in the doorway or finish the herringbone with a border so the change reads as a frame.
What affects the quote
- Pattern set-out and cutting take longer than plank, so labour is higher.
- There are more offcuts than with plank, because of the angled cuts at every wall.
- The subfloor has to be very flat. Short pieces show every dip.
We cover all of this in a free measure and quote.
Installation
Herringbone is normally glued down. On a slab, that means a moisture test and levelling first; on an old timber floor it may mean sheeting over the boards to get a flat, stable base. Once down, it is cared for like any engineered oak: vacuum, damp mop, felt pads.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many packs of Hidalgo herringbone do I need for a 10 m² hallway?
Each pack holds 12 pieces and covers 1.62 m². Herringbone needs more allowance for cuts than plank; at about 12% extra you need roughly 11.2 m², which is 7 packs.
Is Hidalgo herringbone too dark for a narrow hallway?
It depends on the light. With a glazed front door or skylight it usually looks rich. In a hallway with no natural light, a lighter herringbone may suit better.
Can Hidalgo herringbone be laid next to Hidalgo plank?
Yes. Both are the same colour, so we can run plank through the connecting rooms and finish the join with a threshold or border.
