Herringbone Flooring in Purley: A Natural Oak Living Area Case Study

Customer: James & RachelLocation: PurleyArea: Living AreaProduct: Herringbone Natural (Natural Oak) Amount: 28m²Duration: 3 days

Herringbone flooring in Purley can completely transform a tired living area, especially when the carpet underneath has finally had its day. In this case study, we show how James and Rachel upgraded their main living space with our Herringbone Natural engineered oak, getting the warm, characterful, easy-to-clean finish they wanted in 3 days.

The Problem

James and Rachel in Purley wanted to replace the old, worn carpet in their main living area. The room felt dark, and the carpet was trapping dirt and becoming impossible to keep clean. They wanted a natural surface that would add warmth and character to the space while adding value to their home.

The Solution

For James and Rachel’s living area in Purley, the answer was a herringbone engineered wood that would bring instant character without the upkeep of carpet. They chose the Herringbone Natural engineered wood flooring from our range. The natural oak tones brought instant warmth to the room, and the classic herringbone pattern added a high end feature that completely changed the feel of the living area.

The Installation

Real engineered wood requires precision. At James and Rachel’s Purley home, the fitters first checked the subfloor levels and laid a high-quality DPM to ensure no moisture comes through to the floor. They then meticulously glued down the herringbone blocks board by board. The entire living room installation took 3 days to complete properly.

The Result

The living area at James and Rachel’s Purley home now looks much larger and incredibly smart. The natural oak pattern catches the light beautifully, and the couple no longer have to worry about muddy paws ruining the floor.

Customer Testimonial

“We were fed up with trying to keep a light carpet clean and it just always looked so tatty. This herringbone wood has completely changed the room. It looks brilliant and transforms the space into the next level. We know that this will look great for years to come and will add significant value to our house.”
