Planning a herringbone floor
Herringbone uses repeated angled boards to create movement across the room. Board proportions, colour variation and the starting axis all affect the result, so the set-out should be resolved before quantities are finalised.
Compare layout options
Check that the selected product is supplied for the intended pattern and review its handed pieces or installation requirements where applicable. Compare the sharper geometry of chevron flooring or browse all flooring layouts.
Allow for detailed installation
Patterned layouts generally involve more cuts and planning than straight planks. Confirm the cutting allowance, centre lines, border treatment, substrate and exact installation method with the installer.
