TZ454 Smoked White Brushed UV Oiled Herringbone Oak is an engineered oak parquet floor designed for clients who
want the brightness of a pale oak floor, but with extra depth and character through subtle smoked undertones. The result is a
modern “smoked white” look that works beautifully in London homes where natural light changes throughout the day—keeping the
flooring feeling clean, warm and premium rather than flat or grey.
The 90 × 450 mm blocks create a balanced herringbone pattern that suits hallways, living rooms, bedrooms and open-plan spaces.
In period properties the herringbone adds classic architectural detail; in contemporary interiors it gives structure and texture
without overwhelming the room. If you’re comparing engineered herringbone flooring in London, TZ454 is a standout option for a
refined parquet look with practical, everyday durability.
As part of Timberzone’s engineered wood flooring range, TZ454 Smoked White Brushed UV Oiled Herringbone Oak is chosen for projects
where clients want a lighter oak parquet floor that still hides day-to-day wear and keeps its finish looking consistent over time.
Engineered oak construction for stability, comfort and performance
Engineered wood flooring is often the best choice for London due to central heating, seasonal humidity shifts and mixed subfloor
conditions. TZ454 uses a real oak wear layer bonded to a stable engineered core to help reduce expansion and contraction compared
with solid wood parquet. When installed as a fully bonded engineered parquet floor, it delivers a firm, high-quality feel with
crisp, tight joints that keep the herringbone lines looking sharp.
This stability matters in high-traffic areas like entrance halls and kitchen-dining spaces where movement and wear show faster.
With correct moisture testing, levelling and adhesive selection, engineered oak herringbone flooring becomes a long-term flooring
system rather than just a design feature. It’s why engineered oak parquet is widely specified across London renovations, extensions
and apartment refurbishments.
Smoked white tone + brushed grain + UV oiled finish
The smoked white tone in TZ454 Smoked White Brushed UV Oiled Herringbone Oak helps create a brighter interior while still keeping
depth through the grain. It pairs well with Scandinavian-style interiors, contemporary kitchens, neutral wall colours and natural
materials like stone and linen. It also works in classic London townhouses because the herringbone pattern keeps the floor feeling
timeless even when the colour direction is modern.
The brushed texture lifts the oak grain and subtly softens the appearance of minor marks, while the UV oiled finish provides a
factory-cured protective layer. Many homeowners choose UV oiled engineered oak flooring because it has a natural, low-sheen finish
that is practical for everyday living and easier to maintain than unfinished timber.
Underfloor heating guidance and professional installation
TZ454 Smoked White Brushed UV Oiled Herringbone Oak can be suitable with underfloor heating when the full system is appropriate and
installation guidance is followed. Engineered oak flooring is commonly specified over UFH because the construction is more stable
than solid timber when temperatures change. For best results and efficient heat transfer, a full glue-down installation is typically
recommended for herringbone parquet.
The finish you see on day one is heavily influenced by preparation. For a truly sharp parquet result, the subfloor must be level,
dry and correctly primed where needed. Timberzone can advise on moisture control, levelling compounds, adhesives and layout planning
so your engineered herringbone floor looks clean, performs well and ages evenly across the space.
Order a sample and compare in your own lighting
Ordering a sample is the fastest way to confirm tone, texture and overall look. Smoked white oak can appear warmer or cooler depending
on daylight direction, bulb temperature and nearby colours, so viewing a sample next to paint, furniture and kitchen units removes
guesswork. If you’re choosing engineered wood flooring in London, sampling is how you make confident decisions without surprises.
Timberzone can also guide you on borders, thresholds, transitions and maintenance so your parquet floor stays looking its best. Use the
