Supplied at 14mm × 150mm × 600mm, Soft White Oak is an engineered European oak floor in prime grade. In tone it reads as a pale, light-filled oak that keeps rooms bright and airy. The white oiled 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.
Herringbone rewards patience in the laying, and these 150mm blocks are cut for exactly that — crisp points, tight joints, a floor with rhythm. 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 white oiled treatment sets how Soft White Oak handles daily life. An oiled surface feeds the timber rather than coating it, so the grain stays open to the touch; maintenance is an occasional re-oil in the areas that work hardest.
It stands up well to real family life; deeper wear in later years is dealt with by re-finishing rather than patching. Underfloor heating is no obstacle — the boards are rated for it and hold their shape as the seasons turn.
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 Summer Oak and Rye Oak beside it for comparison.
