Decor describes the appearance of a floor’s surface. Using digital imaging techniques, the natural beauty of wood is reproduced on the decorative paper. Whether you prefer the warmth of oak, the elegance of teak, or the richness of walnut, the decorative paper brings your vision to life.
Fade-resistant
The aluminium oxide coating on the overlay provides fade resistance, ensuring that Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone maintain its vibrant appearance even when exposed to light to moderate amounts of sunlight.
At the heart of Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone lies the High-Density Fibreboard (HDF) coreboard, providing stability and dent resistance. Made from highly compressed wood fibres, HDF boasts twice the density of softwood, so it is more resistant to wear and tear. Its superior stability allows the click profile to be precisely manufactured, ensuring a secure fit between each plank. By utilising wood by-products that would otherwise be burned or sent to landfills, the HDF coreboard is also environmentally responsible.
Waterblock Pro HDF
Waterblock Pro HDF is a coreboard made from a mixture of compressed wood fibres and hydrophobic materials. This composition allows the coreboard to withstand immersion in water for 200 hours with negligible thickness swelling, as tested by the Entwicklungs- und Prüflabor Holztechnologie GmbH (EPH).
Waterproof
Waterblock Pro coreboard has a high degree of hardness, density, and resistance to moisture-induced swelling. The waterproof composite material ensures that the joints remain stable and secure, even in challenging environments. To further enhance the flooring's moisture resistance, all four sides of the Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone planks are coated with a water-repellent agent made of paraffin and impregnating oil, applied using a vacuum nozzle-powered injection system.
Micro-bevel
The coreboard is deformed to create structures mimicking the scraped wood, cracks, gaps and bevelled edges found in solid wood planks. The shallow micro-beveled edge offers a subtle definition from plank to plank, adding depth and character to Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone while ensuring that little to no dust gathers at the joints.
Micro-E technology
Micro-E technology creates a micro-bevel (30° to 45°) at the edge of each floorboard, to eliminate sharp edges and reduce light reflection at the joints. The result is a smooth transition between planks that exudes luxury and sophistication.
The waterproof melamine resin backing layer is engineered to provide a high degree of dimensional stability. It ensures that Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone remains perfectly balanced and resistant to cupping or bowing when properly installed and maintained.
Engraved logo
Waterblock Pro logo is embossed on the back of each plank, which serves as a mark of authenticity of the product.
With its watertight joints and Waterblock Pro coreboard, Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone is designed to provide you with peace of mind in the face of everyday spills and mop water. The melamine resin surface is also fully waterproof.
Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone is suitable in high-humidity environments such as a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. However, excessive wetting and standing water should be avoided. The flooring is not suitable for outdoor areas or rooms with permanently high moisture loads, such as shower cubicles, saunas, or rooms with floor drains.
Real Wood Grain (RWG) technology intensifies the depth, texture and realism of Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone. The precisely milled micro-bevel, embossed wood textures and matt surface finish create the look and feel of naturally oiled wood.
Waterblock Pro HDF is made entirely from recovered wood, which includes wood waste collected from sawmills, forest management processes, and roadside maintenance. By using these by-products, which would otherwise be burned or discarded, no round logs or endangered trees are used in the manufacturing process.
Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone does not contain any PVC, plasticisers (phthalates), heavy metals, pesticides or other harmful additives, thus reducing emissions and creating a safer, healthier living environment. Rest assured that Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone has an excellent environmental footprint can be recycled at the end of its life cycle.
Termite infestations can wreak havoc on wood-based flooring, causing damage that often mimics the appearance of water damage. Blistering, sagging, and even small holes can appear in affected areas, as termites chew through the board and create a hollow network of tunnels beneath the surface.
Waterblock Pro coreboard is manufactured using a high-pressure and high-temperature production process that significantly reduces the moisture content of the wood fibres. The hydrophobic nature of Waterblock Pro coreboard serves as an additional defense against termite infestations. By minimising the amount of moisture present in the coreboard, an environment that is inhospitable to termites is created, deterring them from infiltrating and damaging the flooring. Waterblock Pro coreboard is also treated with a minimal amount of natural termite repellent during the production process to further enhance its termite resistance.
Mould can grow practically anywhere, particularly in damp and poorly ventilated areas, including under SPC/vinyl flooring or wooden floorboards.
Waterblock Pro coreboard is chemically treated with a minimal amount of natural mould inhibitor during the production process. The high-pressure and high-temperature production process used to create the coreboard reduces the moisture content of the wood fibres, creating an environment that is less conducive to mould growth. Additionally, the hydrophobic nature of Waterblock Pro coreboard helps to repel moisture, further reducing the risk of mould and mildew formation.

The super matt finish minimizes light reflection, creating a sophisticated and stylish ambiance in any space. The surface’s ability to conceal minor imperfections makes it perfect for homes with families, pets, and high-traffic areas. Fingerprints and scratches, which can be obvious on glossy finishes, are far less noticeable on matt surfaces.
With matt surface flooring, you'll experience consistency in colour throughout your space. The minimal reflection of light eliminates the common issue of some areas appearing brighter or darker than others, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious look.
Floors with matt surface texture provides a higher level of friction compared to glossy alternatives, reducing the risk of slips and falls. This makes it safer for households with children and pets.
Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone is pet-proof. In the event of a pet mishap, simply clean it up promptly, and the flooring will maintain its pristine appearance. The surface with a highly durable layer provides protection against micro-scratches that can be caused by pet claws, skateboards or the dragging of desks and chairs.
Hydrophobic technology and a sealed surface prevents droplets of water, wine, paint and other liquid spills from penetrating the flooring, allowing for quick and easy cleanup. The correct cleaning technique, using a mop and an appropriate cleaning product, can guarantee the complete removal of all dust including fine dust particles.
The waterproof coreboard ensures that even if a glass of water accidentally falls on the floor, Waterblock Pro 12.6mm Herringbone will remain unaffected.
