About Hale Oak Herringbone

Dark and rich, Hale is a chocolate-brown oak with a copper warmth that shows when the light falls across it. The open grain is picked out in slightly deeper tones, so cathedral arches and straight lines stay visible even in the darker colour. Planks vary a little, some leaning towards walnut, others more chestnut. The brushed lacquered surface has a soft satin sheen.

This is a floor for rooms with a sense of drama or tradition: formal living rooms, studies, libraries and dining rooms, and grand hallways in period homes. It looks good with white or stone walls for contrast, or with deep green, oxblood and navy for a moody scheme. Brass, velvet and leather all suit it.

At 80 x 300mm, the planks are slim and short, so the herringbone has the tight, classic pattern you would see in a Georgian or Victorian house.

The 3mm real oak top layer sits on a stable multi-layer base and can be sanded and refinished. It suits underfloor heating up to a floor surface temperature of 27°C.

Frequently asked questions about Hale Oak Herringbone

How many packs of Hale Oak Herringbone do I need?

Each pack covers 0.96 m². Measure the floor area, add 15% for cutting, as patterned floors need more cuts than plank, then divide by 0.96 and round up. For a 15 m² room that is 18 packs.

Is Hale Oak Herringbone waterproof?

No. It is real wood, so it is water-resistant rather than waterproof. Wipe up spills promptly. It works well in kitchens with sensible care, but for bathrooms and utility rooms choose GF Glue Down LVT or GF Click SPC.

Can Hale Oak Herringbone go over underfloor heating?

Yes. It is suitable for underfloor heating, water or electric, up to a floor surface temperature of 27°C.

How is it fitted?

It can be fitted by gluing down or nailing, with a 10–12mm expansion gap at the walls. Herringbone is laid from the centre of the room and is glued or nailed, never floated. To keep the GF guarantee, follow the GF installation guide and use a competent professional fitter.

Can it be sanded?

Yes. The real oak top layer can be sanded and refinished. The thicker the top layer, the more times that can be done, so a 4mm or 6mm top layer gives you more life than 3mm.

What guarantee does it have?

It has a 25-year residential guarantee. To keep the GF guarantee, follow the GF installation guide and use a competent professional fitter.

Can I order a free sample?

Yes. You can order up to five free samples, and we aim to send them within 3 to 5 days, so you can see the colour in your own light before you buy.
