About Charred Oak Full product description
Charred Oak Herringbone Laminate Flooring — 12mm Premium
Bring the drama of charred-wood interiors to your floor without the cost or maintenance of real Shou Sugi Ban timber. Our Charred Oak herringbone laminate captures the deep smoky grey-black tones and subtle ash variation of properly burnt and brushed oak, in a 12mm AC4-rated laminate built for everyday life.
Each plank measures 600mm × 100mm × 12mm with an embossed-in-register texture that follows the natural grain of the underlying decor — meaning the surface feels right under the eye and under bare feet, not slick and printed-looking like cheaper laminates.
What Charred Oak actually looks like
Charred Oak is our darkest shade in the 12mm Herringbone Premium range. The base tone is a deep, slightly cool grey-black, with subtle ash and silver highlights running through the grain. Under warm interior lighting it reads as a rich smoky charcoal; in daylight or under cooler bulbs it shifts towards a true charred-timber black. It pairs particularly well with cream upholstery, brass and gold accents, warm wood furniture, and stone-coloured walls.
Where Charred Oak works best
Dark herringbone is a confident design choice. It works exceptionally well in larger, well-lit rooms where the floor can be a feature rather than a backdrop — kitchens with cream or sage cabinetry, dining rooms with brass lighting, hallways with white walls, and open-plan living areas. In smaller rooms or rooms with limited natural light, consider Desert Oak or Greige Oak instead.

Fitting
Four steps to a click-fit floor
- 01Acclimatise
Leave the unopened packs lying flat in the room for 48 hours before fitting.
- 02Prepare
The subfloor must be clean, dry and flat. Lay a damp-proof membrane over concrete, then roll out your underlay.
- 03Click and lay
Set out from a centre line, clicking the left and right blocks together. Leave a 10 mm expansion gap at every wall.
- 04Finish
Fit skirting or scotia to hide the gap. No glue and no nails – it's a floating floor.

Questions
Good to know
Measurements, subfloors, fitting – we're happy to help.
WhatsAppCall 0121 387 8717Email usHow many packs do I need?
Measure the room in m², add 15% for cuts (herringbone creates more offcuts than plank), then divide by 1.8 m². The calculator above does this for you.
Do I need underlay?
Yes. Laminate is laid as a floating floor over underlay, which smooths out small imperfections, reduces noise and adds warmth. Over concrete, choose an underlay with a built-in damp-proof membrane. You can add underlay to your basket above.
What does AC4 mean?
The AC rating measures how well laminate resists wear, from AC1 to AC5. AC4 suits every room in a busy home, including hallways and kitchens, as well as light commercial spaces such as offices and small shops.
Can I use it in a kitchen or bathroom?
Kitchens, hallways and living spaces, yes – the surface is water resistant, so wipe up spills promptly. We don't recommend laminate for bathrooms, shower rooms or anywhere water can stand; our waterproof LVT is the better choice there.
Can I use it with underfloor heating?
Yes, with both water and electric systems. Keep the floor surface at 27 °C or below and follow your heating manufacturer's guidance.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes – the click system makes it a confident DIY job. You'll need a saw, a tapping block, a pull bar and spacers. Leave a 10 mm expansion gap around walls, doorways and pipes.
How do I look after it?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, then use a well-wrung mop with a laminate cleaner. Never use a steam mop or let water pool. Put felt pads under furniture legs.
When will it arrive?
In-stock flooring arrives within a few working days and you choose your delivery day at checkout. Delivery is free on orders over £699.
