Herringbone

Lines that interlock, angles that interact, a rhythm that shapes the space. The herringbone pattern breaks monotony, turning every surface into a bold, graphic statement that's always in motion. It’s the perfect choice for those who want a floor that doesn’t follow a straight line, but takes its own path: elegant, dynamic, and distinct.

FAQs – Herringbone Flooring

Quick answers to the things people ask most.

What is a herringbone floor?

A herringbone floor is a patterned layout in which rectangular wood planks are installed at a 90-degree angle, creating a staggered zigzag design. In engineered wood herringbone flooring, each plank is pre-cut to identical dimensions to ensure precise alignment and improved structural stability. This type of flooring is valued for its visual structure, durability, and ability to add movement and depth to interior spaces.

Is herringbone flooring suitable for small rooms?

Yes, herringbone flooring is suitable for small rooms when installed with properly scaled planks. Slim formats, such as engineered white oak herringbone planks, help create visual continuity and make spaces feel larger. The directional pattern draws the eye across the room, making compact spaces appear more dynamic compared to standard straight-laid flooring.

What is the difference between herringbone and parquet?

Parquet is a general term that refers to any decorative wood flooring installed in geometric or patterned layouts. Herringbone is a specific type of parquet pattern characterized by rectangular planks arranged at right angles in a broken zigzag formation. In short, all herringbone floors are parquet floors, but not all parquet floors follow the herringbone pattern.

What is the best type of herringbone flooring?

The best type of herringbone flooring is engineered hardwood herringbone, especially when made with a white oak wear layer. Engineered construction offers greater dimensional stability than solid wood, making it suitable for modern buildings, underfloor heating systems (when approved), and glue-down installations. A matte lacquer finish further enhances durability, ease of maintenance, and long-term performance in residential and commercial settings.
