Our Embleton herringbone pairs a real European oak top layer with a stable multi-layer base, giving you the classic look of parquet with extra stability. Standard grade balances clean blocks with some natural character.
Factory lacquered for a durable, easy-care surface that is ready to live on as soon as it is laid. 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.
Embleton is a standard grade engineered oak herringbone floor, factory lacquered. Standard grade sits between prime and rustic, with a balanced amount of natural knots and colour variation. It gives you a genuine timber look that is characterful without being overly busy.
A factory-applied lacquer seals the surface, making it durable and easy to keep clean. There is no finishing to do on site, so the floor is ready to live on as soon as it is laid, which makes it a practical choice for hallways, kitchens and busy family rooms.
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 a lacquer-friendly wood floor cleaner. Use felt pads under furniture and mats at entrances to help protect the finish.
Yes. We always recommend seeing the floor in your own light before ordering. You can order a flooring sample of Embleton 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 Embleton in your home.
