Follow the trend for Herringbone flooring with the Zigzag Collection
At V4 we focus on creating beautiful wood products which let you bring nature inside, and we constantly evolve our bespoke flooring collections to deliver the ultimate palette of wood floor finishes, colours and size options to meet the latest trends. And one of the big trends that looks set to continue this year is the demand for mode parquet and herringbone style wood floors. While maintaining the original approach of creating a beautifully patte ed, low maintenance wood floor, parquet floors in the 21st century have come a long way, no more so than our Zigzag collection, which quickly ranked as one of our most sought after collections in 2018. We originally based the collection on six of our most popular wood plank finishes from our Deco and Urban Nature collections, where contemporary oak surfaces are produced from a combination of hand finishing and colouring techniques to produce deep lustred boards which offer a distinctive palette of tones. Taking these popular wood plank finishes, we re-created them as ultra stable precision engineered oak blocks. Offering a simple tongue and groove installation method akin to wood floor planks, the installation of a parquet floor becomes quick and easy without any compromise on style or authenticity with Zigzag. Adding complete versatility, Zigzag can be installed in a host of laying patte s, from traditional herringbone style to basketweave and multiple block formations – resulting in a high quality, long lasting wood floor that oozes parquet style to set off any interior space, big or small. The floors have featured on TV and in some notable featured installation stories in recent months. George Clarke’s Old House New Home series on Channel 4 showcased a Victorian home in Hove where the couple were completing a kitchen extension to mode ise and open out their living space. They chose Zigzag in Brushed and Lacquered Oak finish as the oak wear layer is sealed with a durable natural lacquer making the floors particularly durable for use in kitchens. The finished floors run through the kitchen and into a beautiful dining and living area. Showcasing the beautiful finish wood floors can deliver in bedroom design, a Cotswold ba conversion chose Zigzag in Natural Oak for its bedrooms, creating a natural blend with the original wood beams, whilst also providing a clean mode backdrop to newer plastered finishes and minimalist design. The darker tones of Zigzag in Tannery Brown were an inspired choice for a Manchester new build. The owners had quite a minimalist and neutral taste and wanted the floors to add a layer of warmth and contrast. The resulting space maintains a bright, spacious feel with the floors adding subtle movement and warm oak character. And if you’re an avid instagram user you may have come across Simon and Clemmie Hooper, also known as mother_of_daughters and father_of_daughters. They wanted parquet style floors with a mode yet aged appearance to blend with the Victorian features in their Kent home. They chose Zigzag in Frozen Umber for their authentic oak character and naturally aged appearance which complemented the finished living room design beautifully. Our Zigzag collection is now available in ten different styles offering smooth to rustic finishes in a spectrum of colour tones. You can view the full Zigzag collection here and why not take a look at more of our featured installations and be wood floor inspired.

Bring nature into your bedroom design with real wood floors
Go back in time and carpets were the default flooring choice for bedrooms, but head back into today’s mode interior design world and wood floors are making a big appearance in cosy and contemporary bedroom design. There are heaps of benefits to choosing engineered wood floors for bedrooms. Real wood floors deliver a warm and welcoming statement, full of natural beauty, durability and will stand the test of time for both style and quality. From a practical point of view they are much easier to keep clean than carpets, which are easily stained and can be full of hidden dirt and dust. A regular sweep or vacuum and a wood floor surface is clear of any dirt. It’s also a healthy choice, especially if you have allergies. Carpets collect dust, pollen and other particles which re-circulate in the air and can cause irritation. And most importantly it’s a stylish choice. The beauty of real wood really does deliver natural serene style in the bedroom. It’s also a great choice if you want to maintain the same flooring finish throughout the home for a seamless flow and uniform look. That doesn’t make it boring though, as when you want to give your bedroom a new lick of paint, or add some new soft fu ishings, a simple rug can add your latest colour palette to your flooring and give you something to sink your toes into. Choosing engineered wood flooring for your bedroom does not mean you are limited in choice. Our mode collections are full of an array of styles and wood floor formats, giving you just as much choice as traditional carpets. Whether you opt for plank styles or add some natural zzzzz’s to your bedroom with our contemporary herringbone patte floors, from rich dark character oaks to cool and tranquil mode greys, a V4 wood floor makes a great choice in the bedroom. In need of a little bit of inspiration. Here are just a few real life bedroom designs featuring our wood floors. This beautiful town house is Bath completed a Georgian inspired renovation and added bespoke Herringbone design in the bedroom with our Zigzag Herringbone Unfinished Oak blocks which they treated with a beautiful charcoal oil surface finish. Adding some serious warmth and cosiness, the choice of Landscapes Barley Field wood floors works perfectly in this warehouse style apartment in Liverpool. Exposed brick and industrial features combine with the nature inspired tones of the extra large oak floor panels. This bedroom features in a stunning ba conversion in the Cotswolds. Our Zigzag Herringbone oak floors in a Natural Oak finish deliver effortless style in the bedroom blending original features with mode design touches. Simply serene, Eiger Petit Grey Stained oak wood floors have delivered a dreamy finish in this mode London home, where the floors create a natural flow from the hallway to each of the bedrooms, delivering soft grey oak tones. Walnut wood floors are a lovely bedroom choice if you want to keep walls light and minimalist and add warmer tones throughout the flooring. This family home in Oxshott installed Alpine Walnut Matt Lacquered wood floors in all of the family’s bedrooms for a seamless first floor finish. How’s this for a beautiful child’s bedroom. Deco Frozen Umber was chosen to complete a home renovation and loft conversion and the soft muted tones of the wood floors have created a beautiful and easy to keep clean backdrop for the family to enjoy. The flow of natural water is the perfect antidote to drifting off to sleep. Landscapes Water Meadow wood floors bring nature inside with its calm flowing oak tones and look beautiful in this Surrey home. Our Urban Nature Foundry Steel wood floors were the perfect dark and rustic oak texture to complement the Victorian features and soft pastel palette in this beautiful bedroom design. These are just a few examples of customers installing our wood floors in their own bedroom design. All of our wood floors would make a great choice of bedroom floor, and they also all work with underfloor heating if you want to add even more warmth in the bedroom.

Engineered Wood Floors for Modern Kitchens
Real wood floors in kitchen design add a natural warmth, texture and style to your kitchen space – and with such a wide range of colours, tones and styles available it is now far easier to choose a wood floor that is an integral part of your overall kitchen design – and not just an afterthought. There has been a tendency in the past to shy away from wood floors in the kitchen, with concerns about the impact of heat, water and general spillages. This is only a concern where solid or poor-quality wood is used. Properly cared for it is the only natural surface that can be used in kitchens. And with our focus on only the highest quality engineered wood floors, our floors are ideal for installation in the kitchen – treated with care you’ll have beautiful floors, made from a natural material, which will last for years. Won’t the floors expand from heat and moisture in the kitchen? Our engineered wood floors are all built on an ultra-stable hardwood multi-ply tongue & grooved base – giving a feeling as robust as solid wood – but significantly reducing the amount of expanding or contracting in response to conditions. Any impact will be so minimal it will go unnoticed when installed with the correct expansion gaps along the wall. What about spills and splashes? Whatever type of flooring you have, you will always be advised to quickly clean up spillages. Our wood floors all have durable surface treatments applied over the oak top surfaces, so just be diligent and quickly wipe up any spills and the wood floors will remain unaffected. What about underfloor heating? Good news again, all of our floors can be used with underfloor heating. Installed correctly, and ensuring the surface temperature never exceeds 27C, you can design your space more effectively by removing the need for radiator space. Will there be ongoing maintenance? Depending on the surface finish of your chosen wood floors maintenance needs vary. Our durable lacquered surfaces make them the ideal low-maintenance kitchen choice. Each plank has coats of UV-cured lacquer applied, leaving very little to do in the way of maintenance apart from keeping them clean. You will find lacquered options in our Alpine, Alpine Lock, Eiger, Zigzag and Home collections. If you do decide to choose a UV-oiled or hard wax oiled surface finish in the kitchen these need a little more maintenance, but with the right products and care they also make a great natural floor choice for kitchens. We recommend an initial coat of Woods Good Natural Floor Care Refresher is applied to the floors once installed, and then occasionally treat them with Wood’s Good Natural Floor Care soap spray which will help keep the protective layer on the floors, making spills easier to deal with. What about everyday cleaning? On top of any maintenance requirements, a regular sweep and gentle wet wash weekly will keep the floors clean. Only use a very slightly damp mop for wet cleaning, or we recommend using the Wood’s Good Natural Floor Care spray cleaning kit. A safe pH-neutral cleaning solution that is extremely effective and simple to use with no risk you might be damaging your floors.

Follow the latest trends. Wood floors that meet the design demands of disce ing home owners
Bring nature inside - that is the ethos behind V4 Wood Flooring. As one of the leading UK wood floor specialists we are constantly evolving our bespoke flooring collections to deliver the ultimate palette of wood floor finishes, colours and size options to meet the latest interior trends and deliver products for the disce ing homeowner and commercial designer. Advanced production and colouring techniques are enabling us to pioneer the introduction of new colours, tones and formats in engineered wood flooring to create a spectrum of wood floor choice that is not only aesthetically striking, but delivers on long lasting quality and is also sustainably sourced to minimise any impact on our environment. Here's a taster of the latest trends and products emerging in real wood floor and wall surfaces. Muted Tones Light and muted wood floors are growing in popularity. They deliver understated tones that are the perfect choice if you don’t want your flooring to dominate your home – that doesn’t mean they don’t deliver on style though. Lighter shades naturally create a smooth and calming backdrop that will work with any interior style – classic or contemporary. They are an ideal choice to make smaller spaces feel bigger, but are just as at home in large open plan design, promoting natural light and bringing together all elements of a large room without competing against them. Mode colouring techniques have introduced a spectrum of muted tones into wood floor design. Surfaces are treated to soften the character and the application of products such as wood lye then lightens and softly bleaches the surface of the wood boards. This produces a smooth surface where light coloured oils are applied to create distinctive, mode tones. The V4 wood floor collection features an array of light wood floor shades and popular examples include; [caption id=attachment_10325 align=aligncenter width=1024] Deco Silver Haze Oak[/caption] The top layer of oak has been lightly brushed to relieve the natural grain then wood lye bleaches the surface to remove yellow oak tones and create a light grey haze. [caption id=attachment_10326 align=aligncenter width=900] Eiger Grand Titanium White UV Oiled[/caption] An oversized board which maintains some natural character while delivering a smooth, almost white surface. [caption id=attachment_10329 align=aligncenter width=900] Urban Nature Limehouse White[/caption] Hand finished to create a distinctive surface, three coats of hardwaxed oil add white tones that enhance the natural light grain. GREY TONES The trend for grey tones in wood flooring has emerged with pace over recent years, and it continues to be an in vogue choice. Grey wood offers a beautiful contemporary finish which works perfectly with an array of mode interior colours; whether you are looking for a subtle grey hue emerging from a traditional oak finish, or stronger greys to contrast with your colour scheme. Popular grey floors from the V4 collection include: [caption id=attachment_10330 align=aligncenter width=1024] Urban Nature Wharf Grey[/caption] The surface is rolled with steel brushes to emphasise the natural grain of the oak surface. The Wharf Grey top layer is created with the application of coloured oils which are UV cured to build up a natural protective surface full of rich grey tones. [caption id=attachment_10331 align=aligncenter width=1024] Deco Smokehouse Grey[/caption] Smokehouse Grey uses traditional colouring techniques and coats of wood lye to deliver a mode floor with an authentic oak grain and smokey grey undertones. NATURE INSPIRED OAK TONES Despite mode colouring techniques introducing a new, wider spectrum of wood floor finishes and colours, there is a timeless beauty and charm than can be found in staying true to natural oak tones. This doesn’t mean compromising on mode style or choice though. Natural oak character and colourings are enhanced by V4’s production techniques to deliver more traditional finishes that still present their own unique, mode style. Landscapes introduces beautiful extra wide boards, produced with hand rendered European Oak surfaces which are hand treated to deliver surface finishes packed with mode character. Inspired by the natural tones embedded in our organic landscape, the surface of each board has been hand scraped, planed and distressed, following the natural contours of the oak surface. They are then washed with a natural monochrome hard wax staining treatment to deliver tones that will harmonize in any interior space. [caption id=attachment_10333 align=aligncenter width=1024] Landscapes Water Meadow[/caption] Or seek out the Alpine ranges, with a menu of classic oak floors offering different surface treatments ranging from unfinished to natural oiled for subtle smooth oak style and lacquered to UV cured for highly textured and durable surfaces. [caption id=attachment_10334 align=aligncenter width=1024] The Alpine Collection[/caption] MODE PARQUET FLOORS Trends have a habit of making a comeback and in the case of wood flooring the comeback king of the moment is parquet style floors. While maintaining the original approach of creating a beautifully patte ed, low maintenance wood floor, parquet floors in the 21st century have come a long way, no more so than V4’s new Zigzag collection. Taking six of their most popular wood plank finishes from the Deco and Urban Nature collections, where contemporary oak surfaces are produced from a combination of hand finishing and colouring techniques to produce deep lustred wood floors, Zigzag delivers them in ultra stable precision engineered wood block format. Offering a simple tongue and groove installation method akin to the wood floor planks, the installation of a parquet floor becomes quick and easy without any compromise on style or authenticity. Adding complete versatility, Zigzag can be installed in a host of laying patte s, from traditional herringbone style to basketweave and multiple block formations. The result is a high quality, long lasting wood floor that oozes parquet style to set off any interior space, big or small. [caption id=attachment_10335 align=aligncenter width=1024] Zigzag Frozen Umber Herringbone Oak Blocks[/caption] LET WOOD MAKE A FEATURE OF YOUR WALLS The use of wood in mode interior design now extends beyond wood flooring and fu iture production, with a growing trend for wooden wall cladding as a striking and natural way to create feature walls with contemporary organic styling. Leading the way for this growing interior trend, V4 introduced Panneau, a range of chic, fashionable and eco-friendly wooden wall panels. The architectural and decorative high-end panels are based on the concept of creating art with woods of various origins. The Panneau Collection is made from reclaimed and recycled timber, including woods sourced from ancient wine barrels, old agricultural buildings and even traditional finishing boats. Due to the recycled nature of the product, each panel is distinctive and original, and features variations in tone and colour that are played out on the warp and weave of the wood. The colours and grain change according to the light in the room and present a high-end and distinctive look and style where feature walls and surfaces become a piece of art in their own right. [caption id=attachment_10308 align=aligncenter width=1024] Panneau Cask Wooden Wall Panels[/caption] These are just a handful of style ideas that meet today's mode flooring trends.

V4 scoop two Flooring Innovation Awards in best design and underlay categories 2018
We are absolutely thrilled to have picked up two awards in the 2018 Flooring Innovation Awards. The industry’s newest awards scheme recognises everything that’s new, exciting and innovative in the UK flooring industry, with a judging panel made up of flooring industry leaders, editors of trade and home interest magazines and readers of The Stocklists. Design Our first badge of honour comes in the Design category for our new Landscapes Engineered Wood Floor collection. V4 Wood Flooring’s new Landscapes collection was created around a vision to bring nature inside on an impressive scale. Landscapes comprises beautiful extra wide boards produced with hand rendered European Oak. Each of Landscapes four colour finishes are inspired by the natural tones embedded in our organic landscape. The collection features the light oak tones of a Barley Field, the warm and earthy Furrowed Hill, a soothing natural flow in Water Meadow and impactful character of Moorland. The surface of each board has been finished by skilled craftsmen using traditional hand tools to plane and scrape the oak, following the natural contours of the grain and adding extra character to the undulating surface. They are then washed with a natural monochrome hard wax staining treatment to deliver striking muted tones. The finished boards measure an impressive 2200mm by 240mm creating a natural feeling of space and flow to any room. Underlay And badge two was awarded to Wood’s Good Eco Gold in the underlay innovation category. We recently launched Wood’s Good Eco Gold Underlay as a major advancement in sustainable underlay solutions. The product has been designed to support and cushion wood flooring with an underlay made from recycled car tyres. The insulating gold foil vapour barrier also protects against the possibility of rising moisture. The rubber crumb has been specifically developed for use with laminate or wood flooring, designed to provide resilience, durability and support to protect against undue stress in wood and laminate floors. From a relatively light weight it delivers excellent impact sound insulation and the integrated gold metallised scrim ensures good resistance to moisture transmission eliminating the need for additional polythene sheeting. It is also ideal for use with underfloor heating achieving a low tog rating. As innovation winners we now await September’s Harrogate Flooring show where the judges will cast final judgement and select overall Innovation Gold winners.
