The 18mm thickness and 5mm wear layer place it firmly in the top tier of engineered oak, offering a lifespan and refinishing potential that rivals solid wood. The double smoke treatment is a labour-intensive process that produces a colour of genuine depth and complexity — one that looks different in morning light versus evening candlelight, and that develops further character over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 70mm herringbone plank creates a finer, denser pattern than wider-plank alternatives — a more traditional proportion that references the original parquet floors of grand European interiors. If you’re looking for a floor that will still be turning heads in 30 years, Alston is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is carried out using nail down or glue down methods for maximum stability on solid subfloors. Professional installation is strongly recommended for herringbone patterns — particularly at 70mm width, where precision alignment is critical to achieving the best result. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner will keep your Alston herringbone flooring looking exceptional. Avoid excessive moisture and use felt pads under furniture legs to protect the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrand hallways and entrance areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLiving rooms and open-plan spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBedrooms and dressing rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDining rooms and kitchen-diners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHome offices and studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConservatories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProperties with underfloor heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-specification renovations and new builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrder your free sample today to experience the exceptional quality and depth of Alston Double Smoked Herringbone Oak Flooring.
