V4 Tundra Wood Flooring
The V4 Tundra collection is the most format-rich part of the V4 catalogue — built on an unusual birch ply core construction for additional dimensional stability, and offered in plank, herringbone, chevron and XL herringbone formats. Where most premium engineered wood ranges stick to plank and herringbone, Tundra is the V4 collection to specify when the format itself is part of the design brief.
Tundra is sold on a Request a Price basis at Grosvenor Flooring. We stock the full collection and supply across the UK, with supply-and-fit available for customers in Altrincham, Manchester and Cheshire.

About V4 Tundra
Tundra stands out from the rest of the V4 catalogue for two reasons: its core construction and its format library. Most engineered wood floors are built on a multi-ply core of pine, spruce or generic softwood; Tundra is built on a birch ply core, which is denser, more dimensionally stable and more resistant to the small movements that can occur over underfloor heating or in rooms with significant temperature swings. The trade-off is cost — birch ply is a more expensive engineered substrate — but the result is a floor that performs particularly well in the situations that catch out less stable engineered wood ranges.
The format library is the second reason. Within Tundra, V4 offers the same colour stories in plank, traditional herringbone, chevron and XL herringbone — a level of choice that is unusual at this price point and means a single colour brief can be carried into multiple rooms in different formats without breaking visual continuity.
Designs in the Collection
The Tundra plank sub-collection is offered as a curated set of modern oak tones, with the same colour stories carried into the herringbone, chevron and XL herringbone formats. Use the product grid below to browse current colour and format options.
Plank, Herringbone, Chevron or XL Herringbone?
Each Tundra format reads differently in a room. Plank is the calmest and most architectural — best for whole-house projects, larger rooms and contemporary interiors. Herringbone reads as classic designer parquet — best for kitchens, hallways and dining rooms. Chevron is the most directional and architectural of the parquet patterns, with each board cut to a 45° or 60° angle so the joints form a continuous V — best for design-led projects where the floor is meant to be a defined feature. XL Herringbone takes the classic herringbone pattern and scales it up, which reads as more contemporary and more architectural than small-format herringbone — best for larger rooms where standard herringbone would feel busy. Many Tundra buyers specify two formats in the same colour: plank for living areas, herringbone or chevron for the kitchen or hallway.
Why Choose V4 Tundra?
Tundra is the V4 collection most often specified when one of two things matters: a non-standard parquet format (chevron, XL herringbone) that other premium brands do not offer, or maximum dimensional stability over underfloor heating. The birch ply core is the technical reason; the format library is the design reason. If you want both in one collection, Tundra is the right starting point.
Where to Use V4 Tundra
Tundra is suitable in any dry room of the home — most often specified across kitchens, hallways, lounges, dining rooms and bedrooms. As with all engineered wood, it should not be installed in bathrooms or wet rooms.
Underfloor Heating
V4 Tundra is compatible with both wet and electric underfloor heating, subject to a maximum surface temperature of 27°C and standard installation guidelines. The birch ply core construction makes Tundra a particularly strong choice for underfloor heating projects where dimensional stability is the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is V4 Tundra Herringbone flooring?
V4 Tundra Herringbone is a range of engineered wood flooring consisting of parquet blocks specifically designed and sized (typically 70mm x 490mm) for creating classic herringbone patterns. It features a solid European Oak wear layer on a stable engineered base.
How is V4 Tundra Herringbone installed?
V4 Tundra Herringbone blocks use a tongue and groove profile and must be installed using a full-bond method. This means adhering each block directly to a prepared subfloor using a suitable flexible wood flooring adhesive. Floating installation is not suitable for this type of parquet.
Can V4 Tundra Herringbone be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, V4 Tundra Herringbone engineered parquet is suitable for installation over underfloor heating systems (water or electric). A full-bond installation is required, and V4's guidelines regarding subfloor preparation and maximum surface temperature (27°C) must be strictly followed.
