Deco Parquet Herringbone

Deco Parquet Herringbone brings together our finest surfaces from the wild grained American black walnut to the deep lustres created by fumed, stained, brushed or distressed European rustic oaks. Finished with coats of durable, grain enhancing natural oil or protective lacquered varnish. Design your floor space the way you want it with our modern twist on traditional parquet flooring. Deco Parquet precision milled engineered blocks have a universal fitting system that creates the perfect herringbone floor as well as many new patterns. The Deco Parquet finishes are available in our matching Deco Plank.

Bjelin Hardened Wood Flooring

Real wood but stronger. A real wood floor with great design, durability and water-proof characteristics. Built for a worry-free life. The unmistakable feel and luxury of a real wood floor combined with next-level durability and high water resistance.

Made in Sweden, Bjelin Hardened Wood Flooring uses Woodura, a world-first — a unique, revolutionary technology that hardens wood to produce beautiful real wood floors with superpowers. The patented process results in a significantly stronger surface with up to 3x more impact protection and enhanced water and moisture resistance compared to traditional parquet floors — while being both cost-effective and sustainable.

Natureffect Aqualock Laminate

Laminate wood planks with added moisture protection. Now introducing Aqualock offering six brand new decors with a water-resistant locking mechanism certified and tested to withstand water ingression for unto 36 hours. This makes for an ideal flooring solution for a busy family home where accidental spills can be mopped up with the added confidence that the floor has not been damaged. Imprinted with a natural textured grain that is warm and tactile under barefoot, this durable and unique surface is the perfect rendition of a real timber floor. Perfect for everyday use in your home.

Equilibrium

The perfect balance of natural beauty and engineered precision. Thick French oak lamella finished in sumptuous natural earthy tones is backed on to Scandinavian fir which is expertly pressed between a base layer of the same French oak that gives this floor its name, Equilibrium. The tension created by the equal top and bottom oak layers makes this Italian made collection our most stable engineered floor and allows for extra wide and extra long planks that will span large areas and different climates.

Linia Eco

Linia Eco is a new even more sustainable way to engineer hardwood flooring. A precision micro sliced top layer allows much higher yield from the sustainably sourced European Oak, whilst the core is made of high density wood fibres from fast growing spruce. The surface is protected with a flexible lacquer that closes around any potential surface scratching, which makes it durable and easy to live on. The result is a collection of beautiful oak floors in a natural rustic grade which includes only subtle knots and variation for a clean design, with subtle warm tones and hardwearing finishes.

Seascapes

A collection of hand finished oak planks offers an expansive palette of natural colour that draws inspiration from the Seascapes that reflect the skies above the ever changing tidal shores that surround and protect the British Isles coast to coast. Designed in partnership and finished our team in York, the Seascapes collection offers a combination of finest European made engineered broad oak plank and generously proportioned herringbone parquet floors, finished to order by skilled artisans in the heart of England.

Find out who won the 2023 Cube Awards, hosted by Laura Jane Clark!

At the 2023 V4 Wood Flooring Cube Awards, we were celebrating another fantastic year of design. We were joined by the brilliant architect and TV presenter Laura Jane Clark, who hosted the awards ceremony, announcing the results and presenting each winner with their Cube Award and gifts. Located in the heart of Surrey, the awards were held at our Surrey Design Centre, which had recently received a revamp in time for the celebrations!

Once again this year we were joined by The Ukeholics who greeted our guests with live music, and the fantastic Gin Inn, who handmade our signature cocktail ‘Gin Nature Inside’, the perfect drink to celebrate not only the amazing designs shortlisted this year but also V4’s 21st birthday. What’s more, the team from Dough & Deer were ready and waiting to make the guests an array of delicious wood-fired pizzas throughout the night – the perfect combination for a summer celebration.

Before the awards started, the guests were invited to browse the wide selection of samples our Surrey Design Centre hosts, including our brand-new Luxury Cork flooring collection, Cortejo and our hardened wood floor collection, Bjelin. With large samples of hundreds of flooring options, in styles such as plank, herringbone and chevron, the Design Centre is the perfect place to begin your flooring journey! Organise your visit here.

New this year, we introduced a third category, Retailer Project of the Year, celebrating the impressive work our retailers and flooring specialists have completed over the last twelve months. Together with our Commerical Design category, twenty installations featuring V4’s wood flooring were shortlisted and voted for by the public. It was a pleasure to showcase the brilliant projects our clients have worked on and our host Laura Jane Clark brilliantly captured the magic of the evening when discussing the Awards…

“I love celebrating designers, architects, installers and suppliers because we all make design happen. It’s not just a couple of drawings and then it magically gets made. So really talking to people, meeting people and meeting the people that we work with every day is fabulous”.

With the votes counted, it was over to Laura Jane Clark to announce the winners!

Starting with our Retailer Project category, in third place we had Past and Present Wood Flooring Ltd whose impressive Basket Weave installation in their client’s grade 2 listed property, perfectly complemented the historical architecture, adding an abundance of character.

In second place was True Wood Flooring, who spared no details when installing Brushed Matt Oak herringbone in this family home by adding a single block border to the design, perfect for the period property.

And in the first place, we had the brilliant Signature Me! Their impressive installation was complete with a combination of V4’s White Smoked Oak plank and parquet flooring, creating a seamless, contemporary rustic design.

Moving on to our Commerical Design category, in third place we have Susan Venn Design Ltd! This installation showcased a large-scale refurbishment inspired by its tranquil location and secluded garden. Featuring V4’s Frozen Umber plank, the materials used celebrated nature, with blues, greens and oak tones.

In second place was Bridge Flooring, who combined Tannery Brown in plank and parquet to create a seamless aesthetic inspired by Art Deco Styles in the brand-new Guildford Coppa Club Clubhouse.

And in first place was Just a Little Build! Sarah’s design saw a converted bungalow featuring White Smoked Oak Plank, which effortlessly sits amongst the drama of the double-height ceiling and curved staircase, creating a seamless design in this traditional yet contemporary family home.

Finally, this year Laura presented a special award to a member of the public whose home design stood out to the team. The winner of this year’s ‘Design of the Year’ award went to the Shepeard family! Their beautiful home design inspired by the leafy countryside of Surrey features V4’s Frozen Umber Parquet – check it out here.

A herringbone-style floor has become increasingly popular over the years, and Laura couldn’t agree more, as she went on to say…

“There is definitely a massive trend in herringbone flooring. I have been in love with herringbone and chevron flooring for about 10 years, and finally, people are starting to catch up. As soon as I walked into this showroom, and it’s a very glamorous showroom, I made a beeline for the chevron flooring… It’s just absolutely beautiful!”

Thank you to everyone who entered their designs to this year’s cube awards, and to all who attended the evening – it was great to celebrate a fantastic year of design with you all!
