“The plank itself takes on no water, and it stays warm and quiet underfoot. The floor built for a kitchen that actually gets used.”

The look

White in the BML rigid vinyl range is one floor: the American White Oak herringbone block. 6.5 mm thick at 126 mm by 630 mm with a 0.55 mm wear layer, a pale parquet pattern for a bathroom or a kitchen, waterproof and with the underlay attached.

Pale herringbone, wet room

A white oak herringbone in a bathroom is a floor a real oak block could not be. The pattern reads as parquet from standing height; the core does not care about water.

The heavier wear layer

A 0.55 mm wear layer over a solid polymer core, textured, listed as waterproof and compatible with underfloor heating, with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty. The same specification as every herringbone block in the range.

The palest of the pale

American White Oak is the lightest design in the herringbone range; Light Oak, Invisible Oak and European Oak, in the pale subcategory, are the next steps towards a conventional oak colour.

In depth

Choosing white rigid vinyl

There is one white floor in the rigid vinyl range, and it is the pale end of the herringbone subcategory rather than a plank: the BML American White Oak herringbone block, 6.5 mm thick, 126 mm by 630 mm, with a 0.55 mm wear layer over a solid polymer core. Textured, listed as waterproof and compatible with underfloor heating, underlay attached, commercial grade, 25 year manufacturer's warranty: the specification every herringbone block in the range shares.

The reason to choose it is the room. A white oak herringbone belongs in a bathroom, an en-suite or a kitchen with pale units, which are the rooms a real white oak parquet would not survive. The pattern does what herringbone does, it makes a small room look considered and a long room look longer, and the pale tone bounces light back the way a white oak floor does. The core does the rest.

In practice

A pale floor shows dark marks; a pale vinyl floor lets you remove them. The textured surface hides small scuffs, the wear layer resists scratching, and the cleaning routine is a damp mop and a neutral cleaner. The industry guidance on low-moisture cleaning, quoted below, is about the joints of a floating floor rather than the surface.

For a white oak look in a plank format the range has none; the White Oak, Ash and Poplar wide planks in the pale subcategory are the nearest, one tone warmer. For a white oak floor in real timber, for a dry room, the engineered white oak boards are the equivalent.

FAQ

Is the white herringbone suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the white herringbone is suitable for a bathroom: it is listed as waterproof, with a solid polymer core that takes on no water, and it clicks together and floats rather than being glued. Wipe up standing water rather than leaving it, because the click joints are tight but not sealed.

Will a white vinyl floor show marks?

Dark scuffs show on any pale floor. The textured surface hides small ones, the 0.55 mm wear layer resists the rest, and a damp mop removes what a pale oak floor would keep. Felt pads under furniture and a mat at the door are still worth having.

How many boxes does a herringbone need?

A herringbone needs more boxes than the room area alone suggests, because every row ends in a cut at the wall. The manufacturer guidance we could verify for patterned floors is quoted below; it is their figure, not a standard, and it is the one to order from.

LVT or laminate, what is the difference?

LVT shrugs off water where laminate swells at the joints, and it is quieter and slightly softer underfoot; laminate is harder-wearing against scratches and cheaper. For wet rooms choose LVT every time.

Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?

Yes, UK-wide delivery options, and samples from £1.99 so you can check the design at home first.

Cutting waste — how much extra to order

There is no published industry standard for cutting waste; the figures come from manufacturers' own guidance and they vary. Havwoods advises 8-12 % wastage for planks and 15-20 % for patterned floors such as herringbone or chevron. Quick-Step's UK guidance for laminate is 5 % extra in a regular room and 10 % in a room with many angles or curves.

Wastage allowance, plank floors (Havwoods UK)	8-12 %
Wastage allowance, herringbone or chevron (Havwoods UK)	15-20 %
Extra to order, regular room, laminate (Quick-Step UK)	5 %
Extra to order, room with many angles or curves, laminate (Quick-Step UK)	10 %

“For planks we typically advise on 8-12% wastage and patterned floors, such as herringbone or chevron, may need 15-20% wastage.”

Cleaning — the manufacturers’ own guidance

For multilayer modular floor coverings the MMFA requires low-moisture cleaning methods and states that pooling of liquid on the floor must be avoided under all circumstances.

“Absolutely avoid ponding in any case!”
