Installation & Maintenance: The herringbone format opens up endless design possibilities. Install in traditional herringbone for timeless elegance, or experiment with double herringbone, chevron-style arrangements, or combine with the matching RL29 larger planks (56" x 9") for bespoke feature zones and creative transitions. Each box covers 3.345m² with 96 pieces, providing excellent coverage. Compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C, and unlike traditional oak parquet that requires careful acclimatization, professional sanding, and regular oiling, this innovative alternative is ready to use immediately. Design Inspiration: Enhance your herringbone installation by incorporating Karndean Design Strips to create feature borders, define room zones, or add contemporary geometric accents. DS10 Chalk beautifully complements the limed finish, while DS12 Concrete adds subtle tonal contrast. Create a stunning herringbone "rug" effect in an open-plan space, bordered with design strips and surrounded by the matching RL29 planks in straight lay for a truly bespoke designer floor. The limed grey palette pairs beautifully with both warm neutrals like oatmeal and greige, and cool tones like soft blue and sage green.
