Medium Brown Rustic Herringbone is reclaimed Victorian oak in a warm mid-brown with golden highlights and plenty of knots, cut into 70 × 350mm blocks. It is lighter than our deep brown herringbone and livelier, with more colour variation between blocks. It suits period kitchens, hallways and living rooms, and the wax oil finish can be refreshed in patches.
The wax oiled finish is easy to live with and can be refreshed or spot-repaired in place rather than fully re-sanded. Suitable for underfloor heating, it is set into a herringbone pattern by our own installation team across London and the South East, and supplied throughout the UK.
On paper Medium Brown Rustic Herringbone — Reclaimed Oak is a specification. In a room, it sets the temperature of everything around it. Underfoot it has the density and quiet that only old-growth oak carries. This is left rustic on purpose: open knots and mineral marks stay in, and the floor is livelier for it. As reclaimed oak, hand-graded board by board, it sets a rhythm underfoot that plain planks never quite manage.
Caring for the surface On Medium Brown Rustic Herringbone — Reclaimed Oak the aged and sealed surface is the part you will be grateful for in year five — it decides how the floor wears, cleans and mellows. Day to day, an oiled floor wants very little: dry dust, a wood-soap mop when needed.
What it gives back is repairability — a single tired board or traffic lane can be re-oiled on its own, invisibly. It runs happily over underfloor heating — see the specification above — and stays flat through the heating season.
Where to lay it, and how to decide It runs happily through open-plan layouts and busy family rooms alike; wet rooms are the one place to talk to us first. If the appeal is the age itself, see our reclaimed wood flooring in London page for how we source and grade these boards. It sits within the Reclaimed Collection.
