Wooden Herringbone Oak Parquet floors have always been a symbol of timeless beauty. And with such an enchanting floor pattern, it’s no wonder! Many people love the herringbone pattern and wooden floors, but they are also looking for a larger pattern to make the floor surface appear calmer. And here comes Floer with the good news: you don’t have to choose between all three! In this blog, we will explain everything to you about a wooden herringbone floor.
An XL Herringbone Oak Parquet floor?
Yes, you read that right! The herringbone collections are extremely popular because of their realistic wood looks and beautiful designs. But in addition to PVC and laminate, there are also wooden herringbone floors! The name of the oak herringbone parquet collection may not make it obvious, but when you choose an oak parquet floor with a herringbone pattern, you can decide how large you want the planks to be. You can choose from multiple sizes, ranging from small to extra large!
Different sizes of herringbone floors
A standard herringbone floorboard is about 60 cm long and around 12 cm wide. This can vary slightly, but most herringbone floors follow this size. Want something larger? Then you enter the herringbone range. The floorboards from herringbone collections, like the Herringbone Rigid Click Vinyl, are around 90 cm long and 15 cm wide. The length of the herringbone floorboards is notably longer than a regular herringbone floorboard, which creates a calmer floor surface with fewer seams.

So, are you looking for a floor with an extra-large herringbone pattern? And would you like it to be made of real oak wood? Then you’re in the right place at Floer! Within the oak herringbone collection, you have the option to choose a floorboard that is 90 cm long and 18 cm wide. This is about the same size as the other herringbone floorboards. In addition to the largest size of 90 x 18 cm, there are also floorboards that are 80 cm long and 16 cm wide—just slightly smaller than a herringbone laminate plank. The oak wooden herringbone floor can be installed both glued and floating, just like a regular herringbone wooden floor, and it can also be sanded for a refreshed look.
The benefits of a wooden XL Herringbone floor
You might be wondering what the advantages of a wooden herringbone floor are compared to other herringbone floors. Every type of floor has its own specific benefits, and a wooden XL herringbone floor has its own set of perks! Here they are:
- Extremely durable – You wouldn’t think it, but an oak herringbone floor is highly durable. Oak wooden floors can be sanded down multiple times, making them last a very long time. Plus, after sanding, you can give it a new color, allowing you to create an entirely new look with the same Floer!
- Unique floorboards – We love boasting about the realistic oak patterns on our laminate and PVC floors, but nothing beats the real oak look. With the two wood-replacing types of floors, you’ll always have several planks with the same pattern, so it’s important to check if two identical planks are placed next to each other. This isn’t the case with an oak herringbone floor, because it’s a natural product.
- Underfloor heating – Floer’s oak floors are also compatible with underfloor heating! If you choose a herringbone wooden floor, your floorboards will have a thickness of 1.6 cm. This thickness results in a thermal resistance of 0.11m²K/W—this is below the recommended maximum resistance of 0.15m²K/W. So, you can enjoy underfloor heating with an oak herringbone floor too!
What interior suits a wooden herringbone floor?
One of the most beautiful advantages of a herringbone parquet floor is the optical illusion it creates. When 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 lively and inviting. But how do you arrange the rest of the room? Here are three stunning interior styles that perfectly match an XL herringbone floor.
Classic Interior – It probably won’t surprise you, but a classic or traditional interior matches exceptionally well with an extra-large herringbone parquet floor. The whalebone pattern adds a touch of refinement to a timeless classic interior, complemented by stunning decorative and ceiling mouldings.
Modern Interior – A whalebone parquet floor also fits perfectly in a modern interior. Dark tones in steel doors and a matte black kitchen emphasise the floor, making it the star of the show! Or switch things up—pair a dark parquet floor with a light kitchen to create a beautiful sense of harmony in your home.
Maritime Interior – When you think of parquet floors, you might picture grand mansions and luxury yachts. At least, that’s how we see it! Immerse yourself in the feeling of a luxurious vacation home every day with an elegant parquet floor, and let every day feel like a beachside getaway!
Whalebone Parquet Flooring
Wooden whalebone parquet floors are more than just a flooring choice; they make a statement of elegance and artistry in any space.
