Oak-effect herringbone LVT is the flooring style everyone’s after in 2025 and for good reason. It brings together the timeless beauty of oak parquet with the everyday practicality of vinyl. Here at Frank’s The Flooring Store, we’ve seen a huge spike in demand, and customers can’t get enough of its classy look, clever design, and easy upkeep.
It’s the perfect blend of style and substance, ideal for busy family homes, new builds, or those long-overdue room makeovers.
Modern vinyl technology means oak-effect LVT looks just like genuine oak, featuring grain patterns, knots and all. You get all the warmth and charm of real wood without the price tag or the high maintenance.
Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and hallways. It won’t warp, stain or crack when things get a bit wet. Spilled the tea? No problem, just grab a mop and sort it out.
Oak-effect herringbone LVT comes with a protective wear layer that can take a proper battering from busy feet, paws, or toys. It’s scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and often comes with good warranty to back it up.
Compared to real wood or engineered parquet flooring, LVT gives you the high-end look without emptying your bank account. And at Frank’s The Flooring Store, you’ll always get it for less.
The herringbone pattern never goes out of style. Whether you’re going for rustic charm or modern luxe, this layout adds instant class to any room. Pair it with natural tones or bold colours and it always looks the business.
