Tradition Parquet Flooring

Every board in this small range is solid oak, in herringbone blocks at 90mm wide, 300mm long, 18mm thick, plus a single 480mm square mosaic finger panel option at Prime grade. The herringbone blocks come in Rustic grade, with more visible knots and colour variation than the cleaner-looking Prime grade mosaic panels.

Herringbone blocks vs mosaic panels

• Herringbone blocks — individual solid oak pieces, 90x300mm, laid one at a time for full control over the pattern
• Mosaic finger panels — a single 480x480mm pre-assembled option, covering far more ground per placement than laying individual blocks

Because this range is so small, the choice mostly comes down to whether you want to lay the pattern block by block or use the faster pre-assembled panel format.

Finish options

Finishes on the herringbone blocks span natural brushed matt lacquered, golden smoked brushed UV oiled, invisible lacquered, and unfinished. The "golden smoked" option is a genuine colour treatment rather than a natural oak tone, giving a deeper, more weathered look than the natural brushed finish. Unfinished blocks are sanded and sealed on site, giving full control over the final colour and sheen.

FAQ

What's the difference between the herringbone blocks and the mosaic panel?
Herringbone blocks are individual 90x300mm pieces laid one at a time. The mosaic finger panel is a single pre-assembled 480x480mm option, covering more ground per placement.

What does "golden smoked" mean on one of these finishes?
It's a colour treatment applied to the oak, giving a deeper, more weathered tone than the natural brushed finish, rather than the wood's natural colour.

Is this range suitable for underfloor heating?
No, being solid oak, it's not recommended, since solid wood moves more with temperature changes than engineered flooring does.
