Rothbury is a rustic grade solid oak herringbone floor, unfinished. Rustic grade embraces the natural character of oak, with knots, colour variation and grain movement from block to block. It brings warmth and a lived-in feel that works beautifully in period properties, cottages and farmhouse-style kitchens.
Supplied unfinished, this floor is sanded and finished on site after laying. That means you can choose exactly the look you want, from a natural matt oil to a tinted finish or a hard-wearing lacquer, and the whole floor is sealed as one seamless surface.
At 70 x 230mm, these are compact blocks that create a tighter, more intricate herringbone. The busier pattern suits smaller rooms and period properties, and recalls traditional parquet floors.
Each block is solid oak all the way through, 22mm thick. Because there is so much usable timber, a solid floor can be sanded and refinished many times over its life, making it a long-term investment that can be refreshed for decades.
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?

Care depends on the finish you choose once it is laid. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and an occasional damp mop with a suitable wood floor cleaner will keep it looking its best. Our team can advise on the right products for your chosen finish.
Yes. We always recommend seeing the floor in your own light before ordering. You can order a flooring sample of Rothbury 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 Rothbury in your home.
