Nordic Oak Herringbone Hybrid

Nordic Oak Herringbone is a pale sandy beige oak look from our 9 mm hybrid herringbone range. The blocks are close in colour, with fine grain and very few knots, so the zigzag shows mostly through the bevelled joins rather than through contrast between blocks.

A quiet pattern floor

Pale herringbone gives you pattern without making a room feel smaller. It suits townhouse entries, apartment living rooms and studies with one window, and goes with white walls, light timber and linen. Pale floors hide dust but show mud and dark grit, so a mat at the door is a good idea. It also pairs with Nordic Oak plank: herringbone in the hallway, plank through the living areas. Both are 9 mm with the same underlay, so they meet at the same height, but we cannot guarantee an exact colour match, so we suggest comparing the two samples in the showroom first.

Setting out and waste

The 650 × 127 mm blocks click together with a Unilin joint and float, with a 2 mm acoustic underlay attached, so there is no glue. The pattern runs from a centreline and needs angled cuts at every wall and doorway, so allow more waste than the usual 10% for plank. We work out the final allowance at the measure, along with which way the zigzag should run. A flat subfloor matters, because a pattern shows every dip.
