Gaia Floors eTerra Red Series Otto Mare Herringbone SPC 8mm 9-inch
Otto Mare Herringbone brings a sense of ease to any room — warm medium greige with subtle straight grain with soft natural knots that settles a space without emptying it. Built for durability, this 8mm SPC is reinforced with a 20 mil wear layer and wide 9-inch planks. The engineered eSPC core with balancing layers delivers enhanced dimensional stability and a quieter, warmer underfoot feel compared to standard SPC. Available in both standard plank and Herringbone formats for maximum design flexibility. Available now at Kapriz Hardwood Floors in Santa Clara, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of the 8mm thickness?
Otto Mare Herringbone’s 8mm total thickness delivers exceptional rigidity and a premium underfoot feel that thinner planks cannot match. It also provides superior dimensional stability across temperature and humidity changes.
Q: What certifications does this floor carry?
Otto Mare Herringbone is FloorScore and GREENGUARD Gold certified — confirming low VOC emissions and safe indoor air quality for residential and commercial environments.
Q: How do I handle damaged planks?
The Valinge 5G floating click system allows individual planks to be replaced without removing the entire floor. Keep spare planks from the original lot for future repairs.
Q: Is there a herringbone option in this series?
Yes — the Red Series includes four Herringbone pattern options (Bella Sala, Dolce Luna, Nota Alta, Otto Mare) for a classic European layout.
Q: Is this flooring 100% waterproof?
Otto Mare Herringbone is built on a 100% waterproof SPC rigid core. It will not swell, warp, buckle, or delaminate from water exposure — safe for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.
