A classic pattern, a natural warmth
Brampton Oak Herringbone brings together the familiar beauty of oak and the rhythm of traditional parquet. Part of the Core Grain Atelier collection, its natural tones and smooth surface create a welcoming foundation that feels at home alongside both period details and contemporary furniture. The herringbone layout gives the floor a sense of movement, drawing the eye through a room and adding interest without relying on a bold colour or heavily textured finish.
The individuality of real oak
Each block has a real oak surface, with the grain and subtle variation that make timber flooring so distinctive. Brampton’s Select grade offers a more uniform appearance than a rustic grade while retaining the character of natural wood. The result is an oak herringbone floor with a calm, considered look: detailed enough to give a room personality, yet easy to combine with different fabrics, finishes and colour schemes. Natural variation means no two completed floors will look exactly alike.
A smooth, UV-lacquered finish
A smooth surface allows the oak grain to remain the focus, while the UV-lacquered finish provides a protective surface for everyday use. Its clean appearance works particularly well where you want the pattern of the floor to do the talking. As with all real wood, suitable cleaning products and regular care help preserve the finish. Use protective pads beneath furniture, remove grit promptly and wipe up spills without leaving standing moisture on the floor.
Engineered construction in a compact herringbone format
Brampton combines a 3mm oak wear layer with a multi-ply engineered construction, giving a total thickness of 10mm. Each block measures 80mm wide by 300mm long: a compact format that creates a finely scaled parquet pattern. Tongue-and-groove joints connect the blocks, and the micro bevel on all four sides helps define their individual outlines. The stated pack coverage is 0.96m² before allowing for cutting waste.
Planning and installation
The product is specified for nailed or glued-down installation. A professional fitter should assess the subfloor and follow the product installation instructions when preparing and laying the floor. Brampton is suitable for underfloor heating subject to those instructions and the requirements of the heating system. It is suitable for domestic rooms except bathrooms. When estimating quantities, allow for the layout, perimeter cuts and additional waste associated with a herringbone pattern. Confirm the required allowance with your fitter before ordering.
Choose with confidence
Use the product photographs to explore the tone and pattern, then view a physical sample in your own space before making a final choice. Daylight, artificial lighting and surrounding finishes can all affect how a floor appears. Brampton carries a 25-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty terms. The Core Grain product code is CG-ATL-HB-002.
