Vila Do Conde (Herringbone) — Engineered Hardwood, 9/16″ (Amazon Wood Floors)

Vila Do Conde (Herringbone) brings the same Sapele (African Mahogany) species as the standard-plank Vila Do Conde into a dedicated 4-3/4″ × 24″ herringbone-format plank — 9/16″ total thickness with a 3mm wear layer, milled tongue-and-groove and installable by glue-down, staple/nail-down, or floating. Four colors span a red-brown through rustic multi-tone to near-black ebony. Every plank is CARB Phase 2 compliant with a German E-1 adhesive, backed by a 25-Year Residential Finish Warranty, 5-Year Light Commercial Finish Warranty, and Lifetime Structural Warranty. Available to order through our Santa Clara showroom.

Colors in the Vila Do Conde (Herringbone)

Natural is the lightest, a rustic multi-tone that shows the most grain variation; Caramelo sits in a warm red-brown range; Pimenta Preta and Ebano both move into a near-black, deep ebony family. The same four color concepts as the standard-plank Vila Do Conde, reworked for the herringbone format.

Best uses for Vila Do Conde (Herringbone)

  • Entryways and formal living rooms — the classic herringbone pattern reads as a deliberate design statement.
  • Concrete-slab or plywood subfloors — glue-down, staple/nail-down, or floating all apply.
  • A darker, dramatic floor — Ebano and Pimenta Preta suit buyers wanting a near-black statement pattern.
  • Light-commercial spaces — the 5-Year Light Commercial Finish Warranty extends coverage beyond residential use.

Choosing a color from the Vila Do Conde (Herringbone)

A herringbone floor already reads as a focal point, so a lighter color like Natural lets the pattern itself carry the room without adding visual weight, while Ebano or Pimenta Preta pushes it toward a bold, formal statement. Bring a sample home or compare it under your own lighting at our Santa Clara showroom, where we can also confirm dye lots across a full order.

Frequently asked questions about the Vila Do Conde (Herringbone)

How many boards go into a herringbone install compared to a standard plank floor?
The herringbone plank is smaller (4-3/4″ × 24″ vs. the standard Vila Do Conde’s 7-1/2″ × up to 72″), and the pattern itself uses more cuts and layout planning, so expect a slower, more labor-intensive install than a straight-plank floor.
Is it approved for radiant heat?
Amazon Wood Floors’ installation instructions state radiant-heat approval explicitly for the European Oak collections. For this Sapele (African Mahogany) herringbone collection, confirm with Amazon Wood Floors before installing over a radiant system.
Can I install it myself?
Yes — it’s tongue-and-groove and approved for glue-down, staple/nail-down, or floating. Leave a minimum 1/2″ expansion gap around the perimeter and work from several cartons at once for shade blending.
What’s the warranty?
A 25-Year Residential Finish Warranty, 5-Year Light Commercial Finish Warranty, and Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes — Vila Do Conde (Herringbone) is available to order through our Santa Clara showroom, where you can compare colors in person and we can help confirm dye lots for a full-room order.
