Zen Herringbone Engineered Timber Flooring 3mm Veneer AB Grade

Zen is a calm, pale-toned engineered European oak herringbone floor, built from a 4mm oak veneer over a 15mm engineered core. It suits minimalist, Japandi-leaning and all-white interiors that want texture without visual noise.

Zen herringbone flooring is a 4mm European oak veneer, engineered over a 15mm total-thickness core, laid in individual 600 x 125mm planks at the traditional 45-degree herringbone angle.

What does Zen look like in a room?

A quiet, pale oak tone - the calmest colourway in our herringbone range, sitting opposite Warm Chestnut and Natural Smoked Oak. It suits pared-back, minimalist interiors and all-white or greige colour schemes, where a herringbone pattern adds texture without becoming the focal point of the room.

Key specs at a glance:

Do pale floors show scratches more than dark floors?

Generally the opposite - pale and mid-tone floors tend to disguise everyday dust, light scuffs and fine scratches better than very dark floors, where surface marks show up in higher contrast.

Avoid this mistake

Pairing a very pale herringbone floor with a high-gloss finish - the combination can visually flatten the room. A matte finish, like the wire-brushed lacquer used here, keeps a pale floor looking like real timber rather than a printed surface.

Choose supply-only or supply-and-install: supply-only if you already have a trusted installer, supply-and-install if you want the work double-guaranteed by both the installer and LocalTasker.
