Rye Oak is an engineered European oak herringbone floor, cut at 14mm × 125mm × 600mm and graded prime. In tone it reads as a warm golden oak that brings light and honeyed depth to a room. The factoryed finish sets its character underfoot. Suitable for underfloor heating, it is laid board by board by our own installation team across London and the South East.
Laid in herringbone, the 125mm blocks catch light in two directions at once — the pattern does half the decorating for you. Prime grade means the cleanest cut of the tree — minimal knots, gentle grain, a calm and consistent surface board after board.
The finish, and living with it A floor is its finish as much as its tone: here the factoryed treatment sets how Rye Oak handles daily life. A lacquered surface seals the timber, so day-to-day care is simply a vacuum and a damp — never wet — mop with a pH-neutral wood cleaner.
Engineered construction keeps the boards stable through central heating and seasonal swings, and the wear layer is thick enough to be re-finished when, years from now, it has earned it.
Rooms it suits, and the next step We fit it most often through hallways, reception rooms and kitchens — anywhere the pattern can run and be seen. See more on our herringbone flooring in London page. It belongs to the Prime Grade Collection. If you are shortlisting, put Invisible Natural Oak and Summer Oak beside it for comparison.
