Alva Ash Brown Herringbone – Click

Alva Herringbone brings the rhythm of a traditional parquet floor to a hallway, kitchen or open-plan living space, lending a sense of permanence to a new home and quiet grandeur to an older one. The click version is laid in 630mm x 126mm blocks, the dryback version in 610mm x 102mm. Herringbone asks a little more of the fitter than a straight plank — allow around fifteen percent for cutting and take care setting out the first rows — and rewards that care every day afterwards.

Ash Brown is a soft mid-tone oak with a greige cast — brown with a whisper of grey — and a fine, even grain that reads calm across a large floor. It suits open-plan spaces where a busier or warmer decor could feel restless.

With its simple click-lock system this floor installs as a floating floor straight over most existing subfloors — no adhesive, no specialist tools, and no waiting for glue to cure. Planks lock together in minutes, making it a favourite with confident DIYers, and the rigid SPC core keeps every joint tight and stable in rooms that see big temperature swings, including conservatories and kitchens.
