Our Chillingham herringbone pairs a real European oak top layer with a stable multi-layer base, giving you the classic look of parquet with extra stability. Prime grade gives a clean, consistent look with very few knots.
Factory oiled to bring out the warmth of the grain, with a natural finish that can be maintained and refreshed over time. The blocks are laid in a classic herringbone pattern using left and right blocks.
Pack sizes may vary – please contact us to confirm before ordering.
Chillingham is a prime grade engineered oak herringbone floor, oiled. Prime grade oak is selected for a clean, consistent look, with only small, occasional knots and minimal colour variation. It suits contemporary and minimalist interiors where you want the herringbone pattern itself to take centre stage.
An oiled finish soaks into the timber for a natural, matt look and a warm feel underfoot. One of its big advantages is that worn areas can be refreshed locally, rather than refinishing the whole floor.
At 70 x 490mm, these long, slender blocks create an elongated herringbone with a refined, modern feel. The longer zigzag draws the eye along the room and works especially well in hallways and open-plan living spaces.
Each block has a 4mm real oak wear layer bonded to a stable multi-layer base, 11mm thick overall. The engineered construction is less prone to movement than solid wood, and the 4mm oak top layer means the floor can be sanded and refinished in future.
Herringbone is laid with separate left and right blocks to create the zigzag pattern, and is normally fixed to a flat, dry, prepared subfloor. For the best result we recommend an experienced floor fitter. Not sure whether herringbone is right for your room?

Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a damp (not wet) mop and an oil-friendly wood floor cleaner. Wipe up spills promptly, use felt pads under furniture, and apply a maintenance oil from time to time to keep the surface protected.
Yes. We always recommend seeing the floor in your own light before ordering. You can order a flooring sample of Chillingham online, or contact us for advice.
Measure the area in square metres and allow extra for cutting. Herringbone usually needs a larger allowance than a straight-laid floor (often around 10 to 15%), because of the angled cuts at the edges. Our team can help you work out the right quantity.
Suitability for underfloor heating depends on the system and how the floor is installed. Get in touch and we will confirm the right approach for Chillingham in your home.
