Engineered timber features a veneer of 2–6mm of natural hardwood bonded to a dimensionally stable core. Over time, this practical pattern evolved into a design icon, gracing the grand palaces and estates of Renaissance Europe. The name “herringbone” originates from its resemblance to the skeleton of the herringfish, and today, it remains a symbol of sophistication and timeless charm. There are two schools of thought and
two distinct aesthetics when it comes to
engineered oak floor finishes. We advocate both, but recommend lacquer because it stands up better to the rigours of the Australian way of life. We have one of the largest ranges of decking species, sizes and grades available in Sydney.
Sydney Herringbone Timber Flooring stays popular because it does not follow short trends. Get a swatch of the actual product home and put it on the floor in the room you’re laying. Look at it under your own daylight, against your skirtings, joinery and rug. Herringbone in particular looks very different in a 50 mm sample chip versus a dry-laid square metre — the pattern needs scale to read properly. We carry both straight and herringbone formats across our Sydney and Brisbane showrooms and we’re happy to lay out a square metre on the showroom floor so you can see the pattern at full size before you order. Herringbone tiles are made from durable porcelain material making them slip and moisture-resistant.
Each board is placed at a right angle to the next, producing the distinctive broken pattern that gives herringbone its name. Softwood flooring is a common type of flooring sourced from pine, spruce, cedar or fir. These tend to grow more rapidly than hardwood counterparts, which accounts for the generally lower the cost per square metre.
Blackbutt is a native Australian hardwood prized for its pale golden tones and characteristic fine grain. As a herringbone floor, Blackbutt brings a distinctly Australian warmth to interiors while retaining the elegant geometry of the pattern. It is a particularly popular choice in Sydney homes where a connection to natural Australian materials is desired. SKOV’s Blackbutt herringbone is available in 14mm engineered format. European Oak is the most popular species for herringbone flooring in Australia.
This is likely because solid timber flooring can last decades and you can refresh the look every few years with a good sand and polish. Its natural beauty can really add a warmer and more comfortable vibe to a home or commercial space. Plus, its reputation as a quality, luxury material and its natural design adds a lot of style. You get more customisation and less noticeable “joints” between boards with raw timber flooring.
The Havwoods V Collection features popular, design conscious timber tones with natural, mixed grade timber features. Pre-finished, no staining or sealing required, just quick and easy install. The herringbone premium over our own standard planks is modest — Chateau Herringbone at $79/m² compares favourably to many 14 mm straight planks on the market. Available in a selection of the most classic and widely specified European oak colours, the collection offers a refined balance of durability, precision and timeless style. Engineered herringbone flooring can be installed over concrete subfloors when the slab is level, dry, and correctly prepared with a moisture barrier such as the Wakol PU280. Each plank is meticulously crafted with a 3mm genuine oak veneer atop a multi-layer plywood core, offering strength, stability, and the potential to be resurfaced over its lifespan.
As a result, we would never use this method because you have degraded the quality of the veneer by exposing it to boiling water. Slice cutting is a cost saving exercise as you are making the timber softer so you can peel it off. This method is satisfactory for joinery veneers, but not for flooring.
Images do not seek to duplicate the exact visual appearance but serve merely as a guide or point of reference. It doesn’t hurt resale and it doesn’t help it the way a well-executed feature floor can. If you’re buying-to-hold for ten years or more, the calmer floor often ages better. Herringbone wall tiles can be used for bathroom walls or kitchen splashbacks not only due to their unique designs but also due to their functionality.
