Oxford Herringbone Fumed Oak Wood Flooring 14 x 90 x 450 (mm)

Brushed and oiled is the forgiving surface for a dark pattern: fine scratches sit in the texture, and worn blocks are re-oiled on their own with the manufacturer's maintenance oil. Tongue and groove, micro-bevelled, listed as compatible with underfloor heating; a box of 48 blocks covers 1.944 square metres, and the manufacturer's warranty is 15 years.

The Oxford Dark Brown block is the warmer dark tone in the same size; the Victorian Antique Smoky Oak carries a smoked tone into a 20 mm plank with a 6 mm wear layer. For the same pattern in a smoked tone on a waterproof core, the BML Herringbone Antique Smoked Oak in rigid vinyl.
