Herringbone Flooring Collection
Herringbone flooring gives you the appearance of solid timber without the high price tag. The planks are square ended and laid at 90 degree angles for a sharp, geometric pattern. It is often seen in European parquetry installations and smaller pieces can be used for a more intricate effect.
Our team focuses on the quality and ensures that the installation process is flawless and adds value to your property. The planks are timber flooring structure laid in a zig zag V-shape with each plank being placed at a 90 degree angle to the next. This style works in both traditional and modern spaces and is best installed using the glue-down method. Our experts offer personalized design consultations to help you choose the perfect wood species, plank size, and finish for your herringbone floor. We handle the entire installation process with care and precision, ensuring that each plank is perfectly aligned for a flawless, high-quality result.

Whilst we provide estimates on delivery, often delivery is outside our control. We cannot be responsible if floors for any costs if floors are delayed in delivery or not acclimatised properly prior to installation. Borders or feature strips might be added for a cleaner finish or to frame the pattern. Scotia, trims or skirting boards are installed around the edges once the flooring is completed. Workers ensure that the subflooring, if usable, is cleaned, dry and level for the new flooring. One of the less common styles, it is used in heritage or luxury flooring designs.
Herringbone takes longer to lay (often close to double the labour compared to a straight lay), which is why it generally costs more to install. A qualified flooring inspector can assess moisture levels, subfloor conditions, and whether repairs or replacement are required. Most flooring problems start underneath the floor, not in the product itself.
Yes, the click-lock system simplifies installation, however achieving a perfect herringbone layout may require expertise. A professional installation is strongly recommended for a seamless herringbone pattern. While the click-lock system makes installation easier, herringbone patterns require careful planning and precision. The best size floorboard for a herringbone pattern is 90 x 450mm, as it works well in both large and small spaces. It is also a great way to achieve a more premium look and is enough to exude the right amount of class and sophistication. The herringbone floor, which dates back to the 16th century is still around and preferred by many.
It is becoming more popular as it brings value to your property and is commonly seen in high end display homes.

The pattern gives you a level of “designer finish” that straight planks just don’t match, but you pay for it (mostly in labour). Matte and low-sheen finishes are popular because they keep the look natural and hide day-to-day marks better than high gloss. Herringbone flooring is made from real hardwood veneer layered over a plywood or HDF core, and is arranged in a classic V-shaped zig-zag pattern. It combines the elegant look of traditional parquet with the modern durability and stability of engineered wood. Herringbone flooring is one of the most iconic and sought-after styles of parquetry. While often mistaken for Chevron, Herringbone uses distinct plank cuts and a unique installation method to create a timeless, yet effortlessly stylish aesthetic.
