Herringbone 7.0 - Clear Water Beach - 7mm Hybrid Flooring

Clear Water Beach is the lightest option in Herringbone 7.0 — a soft sand-washed oak with a faint pink-beige warmth running under the pale surface, so it reads bright without the coldness of a grey whitewash. Oak Saffron is clearly deeper and more apricot; Fresco Oak is at the opposite end of the range entirely. Laid in herringbone the paleness becomes the point, because the pattern shows up through shadow and light rather than through colour contrast. It is a difficult specification for a high-traffic entry, where every dark mark will be visible.

A pale herringbone floor is a considered choice, not a practical one, and it is worth being clear about that. Light boards show dark grit and hair, and the many more joins in a herringbone layout give dust a few more places to gather than a straight plank floor does. What you get back is the brightest, most open-feeling floor in the range and a pattern that makes a modest room feel far more deliberate. It works best in living rooms, bedrooms, studies and boutique retail spaces with good natural light.

Herringbone 7.0 is a 7mm SPC hybrid in a 600 x 150mm block, with 1.5mm of IXPE acoustic underlay pre-attached so no separate underlay is required. Blocks join on a UniZip profile designed for the angled joins a herringbone layout demands, and the floor floats over the substrate. The surface carries a 0.55mm wear layer and an anti-bacterial UV coating, with micro-bevelled edges that make the pattern legible. It is worth knowing that a herringbone floor is a more involved installation than a straight plank floor — more cuts, more setting out and more labour time — so allow for that when planning. The core is a waterproof rigid core, but a click-together floor is not a waterproof assembly and is not a substitute for a waterproofing membrane; talk to us before specifying it for a wet area.

It is covered by a 25 year residential and 5 year commercial warranty, rated A+ for VOC emissions, phthalate free and 100% recyclable at the end of its life. Supply and install available across Sydney.
