Product Spotlight: Grosseto (Herringbone)
While you may not have noticed it, there’s a good chance you’ve seen herringbone in clothing, architecture, or carpeting. Now this timeless pattern is making a comeback in hardwood flooring. The Grosseto option from our Armonia Collection combines a classic herringbone layout with a rich, dark brown finish to create a floor that elevates the look of any room.
Herringbone vs. Chevron
It’s important to know the difference:
- Chevron: Planks are cut at an angle to form a continuous point
- Herringbone: Planks are laid at 90-degree angles, creating a staggered “fishbone” pattern
Grosseto is a true herringbone floor, offering a unique geometric design that adds sophistication without overwhelming the space.
Premium European Oak Construction
Grosseto is crafted from high-quality engineered European oak:
- Width: 4-3/4”
- Thickness: 5/8”
- Length: 23-5/8” (almost 2 feet!)
The engineered construction adds stability and durability, making it more moisture-resistant than solid hardwood. This means less shrinking or expanding due to humidity changes, giving your floors a longer life.
Rich, Dark Color with Natural Variation
The dark brown finish enhances the natural oak grain without hiding its unique patterns or subtle color variations. Whether paired with light walls for contrast or darker walls for a cozy, dramatic look, Grosseto works beautifully in any space. The natural variations in each plank also help highlight the herringbone pattern, giving your floors a lively, dynamic appearance.
Texture and Strength
Every Grosseto plank is wire-brushed, which:
- Adds texture and visual interest
- Enhances durability by removing softer sapwood
- Helps hide everyday scratches and dents
After wire brushing, the planks are finished with multiple layers of UV oil, which:
- Penetrates and seals the wood
- Levels the surface and fills minor natural imperfections
- Creates a beautiful matte finish with a sleek, modern look
- Provides protection against sunlight damage, keeping the color vibrant for years
Rustic Grade Character
The Grosseto is made from Rustic grade European white oak, which offers:
- More prominent knots and grain patterns
- A wider range of natural color variations
- A truly authentic, one-of-a-kind hardwood floor
Rustic grade wood enhances the herringbone design, making each installation unique and full of character.
If you want timeless style, premium construction, and elegant design, Grosseto is the perfect choice. Its herringbone pattern, rich color, wire-brushed texture, and durable finish combine to create a hardwood floor that stands out while standing up to everyday life.
