Oak Herringbone Flooring NZ
Real European oak herringbone flooring, 20mm engineered, in all twelve colours. Sometimes called herringbone parquet, laid block by block in the traditional pattern rather than printed onto a plank.
Supplied throughout New Zealand from studios in Christchurch, Auckland and Queenstown.
Herringbone flooring in New Zealand
Our herringbone is the same 20mm thickness as our planks, in the same colour and finish, so a herringbone entry runs into plank through the rest of the house without a transition detail. Range of colours, one rate.
Herringbone timber flooring in real oak, not a printed pattern
Much of the herringbone sold in New Zealand is laminate, hybrid or vinyl with the pattern printed on the surface. Ours is engineered European oak with a 4mm solid oak wear layer, which can be sanded and recoated rather than replaced.
Herringbone parquet flooring, and how chevron differs
Herringbone is a parquet pattern, blocks laid square to one another. Chevron is cut on an angle and meets point to point in a continuous V. We have supplied chevron on request, though it is not a stocked item.
Herringbone flooring installation and specification
Herringbone asks more of the subfloor than straight lay. Blocks meet at right angles, so deflection shows at the joins rather than along a length. Set out from the centre line of the room, allow for the additional perimeter cutting, and carry a higher wastage allowance than a plank floor.
Samples are free. Send a plan and we will take off quantities.

The project
Herringbone flooring at Dorset Street, Christchurch
Chocolat Herringbone runs through every room, paired with soft linen drapery, natural stone and custom joinery matched to the floor. The pattern adds movement; the smoked brown tone keeps it calm.
