Wooden herringbone parquet floors – they have always been the symbol of timeless beauty. And with an enchanting floor pattern, it’s absolutely no wonder! Many people love the herringbone pattern and wooden floors, but are also looking for an extra-large pattern so that the floor area looks a little quieter. And here comes Floer with the good news: you don’t have to choose between the three! In this blog, we explain to you all about the wooden whalebone floor.
An XL herringbone floor made of wood?
Yes, you read it right! Whalebone collections are extremely popular for their realistic wood looks and beautiful designs. But besides Vinyl and laminate, there are also wooden whalebone floors! The name of the oak herringbone parquet collection might not show it, but when you go for an oak parquet floor with herringbone pattern, you can choose how big you make the plank. So you can choose from several sizes, from small to extra large!
Different sizes of herringbone floors
A standard herringbone floorboard is around 60 cm long and around 12 cm wide. This varies here and there, but most herringbone floors are the same size. Want bigger? Then you get into the whalebone range. The floorboards from whalebone collections, such as the Whalebone Click Vinyl, are around 90 cm long and 15 cm wide. The length of whalebone floorboards in particular is considerably longer than a herringbone floorboard – this creates a quieter floor surface with fewer points.

So, are you looking for a floor with extra-large herringbone pattern? And would you like the floor to be made of real oak wood? Then you’ve come to the right place at Floer! Because within the oak herringbone collection you have the option of choosing a floor board 90 cm long and 18 cm wide. This is about the same size as the other whalebone floorboards. Besides the largest size of 90 x 18 cm, there are also floorboards of 80 cm long and 16 cm wide – just slightly smaller than a whalebone laminate plank. Just like a herringbone wood floor, the oak whalebone floor can be laid either glued or floating, and can also be sanded for an updated look.
The benefits of a wooden XL herringbone floor
You must be wondering what the benefits of a wooden whalebone floor are compared to the other whalebone floors. Each type of flooring has its own specific benefits, so a wooden XL herringbone floor also has its own pluses! Here they come:
- Extremely durable – You wouldn’t think it, but an oak whalebone floor is extremely durable. Oak wood floors can be sanded several times, which makes them extremely durable. Moreover, you can also give it a new colour after sanding, allowing you to create a whole new interior with the same Floer!
- Unique floorboards – We like to brag about the realistic oak patterns on our laminate and Vinyl floors, but nothing can beat a real oak look. With the two wood replacement flooring types, you always have several planks with the same pattern. So here it is also important to check carefully that there are not two of the same planks next to each other. This is not the case with an oak whalebone floor, as it is a natural product.
- Underfloor heating – Floer oak floors are also suitable for combining with underfloor heating! If you go for a whalebone wooden floor, your floorboards will have a thickness of 1.6 cm. This thickness gives you a thermal resistance of 0.11m2K/W – this resistance is below the recommended maximum resistance of 0.15m2K/W. So you can enjoy underfloor heating even with an oak herringbone floor!
Which interior suits a wooden whalebone floor?
One of the most wonderful benefits of a whalebone parquet floor is the optical illusion these floors create. As sunlight dances across the floor, the pattern seems to shift and ripple like water. This gives you a dynamic visual experience that makes your space feel alive and inviting. But how do you decorate the rest of the room? Here are three beautiful interior styles that go perfectly with an XL herringbone floor.

- Classic interior – It probably won’t surprise you, but a classic or traditional interior is an excellent match for an extra-large herringbone parquet floor. The whalebone pattern adds a touch of sophistication to a timeless classic interior with beautiful decorative and ceiling mouldings.
- Modern interior – A whalebone parquet floor also suits a modern interior extremely well. With dark shades in the steel doors and a matt black kitchen, you put extra emphasis on the floor, making it the star of the show! Or turn it around, because you can also create a beautiful harmony in your home with a dark parquet floor and a light kitchen.
- Maritime interior – When you think of parquet floors, you think of mansions and expensive yachts. At least, so we think! Imagine yourself in a beautiful luxury holiday home every day with a luxury parquet floor, and make every day feel like a holiday at the beach!
