Terra Mater WildOak Arlo Onyx Pearl Herringbone Oak Flooring
Onyx Pearl is a rich chocolate-brown herringbone that creates a sophisticated mood, with each block showing distinctive grain and natural variation. Arlo Herringbone uses the same engineered European oak as the Arlo boards (14mm thick with a 3mm oak top layer and a Klumpp 8% matt UV lacquer), cut into 888 x 148mm blocks for a classic herringbone pattern.
Dark floors create contrast and a sense of luxury, especially against white or light-grey walls. Onyx Pearl suits contemporary, industrial and classic interiors; darker floors do show dust and footprints more readily, so a regular sweep keeps them looking their best.
Why choose Arlo Onyx Pearl Herringbone
- Real European oak – a 3mm oak top layer over a stable multi-layer core, so you get genuine timber with better stability than solid boards.
- Klumpp 8% matt UV lacquer – a low-sheen finish that protects the timber while keeping a natural look.
- Herringbone blocks (888 x 148mm) – a classic parquetry pattern, glued directly to the subfloor.
- 20-year domestic warranty – from Terra Mater (manufacturer terms apply).

Where to use it
A herringbone floor makes a statement in entries, living and dining rooms, and suits classic and contemporary homes alike. Engineered oak can be used in kitchens with care, but it isn’t suitable for bathrooms, laundries or other wet areas.
Installation and care
Herringbone blocks are glued directly to a flat, sound subfloor. Setting out the pattern takes skill, so we recommend a professional installer. Vacuum or sweep regularly, damp-mop with a timber-safe cleaner, put felt pads under furniture and avoid steam mops. See our installation guides.

Onyx Pearl Herringbone FAQs
Is Onyx Pearl Herringbone real timber?
Yes. It has a 3mm top layer of real European oak bonded to a stable engineered core, so it looks and feels like solid timber but moves less with changes in humidity.
Can herringbone be floated?
No. WildOak Arlo Herringbone blocks are installed by direct stick, glued to a flat, sound subfloor.
Can I use it in a kitchen?
Yes, with care: wipe up spills promptly and use a mat at the sink. Engineered timber isn’t suitable for bathrooms, laundries or other wet areas.
How many cartons do I need?
Each carton covers 1.051m² (8 blocks). Measure your floor area, add about 15% for the herringbone pattern and cuts, then divide by 1.051. For example, a 30m² room needs 30 × 1.15 ÷ 1.051 = 32.8, so 33 cartons.
