Stained Timber Herringbone

A seamless wood texture with stained timber arranged in a herringbone pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1141 x 881 mm (44.9 x 34.7 inches) in total, with each individual board measuring approximately 400 x 100 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 4 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Stained timber is a general term used to denote any timber product that has been treated with a staining element to alter its finish. This can include dark stained timber designed to regularise hues and dampen the timber’s natural features, or white oiled timber, designed to emphasise a timber’s natural grains and textures. Stained timber may also be more durable in weather conditions, allowing it to be used for external applications such as facades, cladding, or landscaping, while its versatility may see it used in interior finishes, furniture, flooring, and panels.

This texture is an example of a herringbone pattern. Named for its resemblance to the skeleton of the herring fish, this pattern is formed with a series of interlocking rectangles positioned perpendicular to each other. Its use in the built environment dates back to at least Roman times and remains popular in contemporary architecture for a range of applications including tiled surfaces and parquet flooring.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
