When herringbone is the right choice

• You want the floor to stand out. Herringbone looks high-quality and prestigious, especially in the living room, hallway, and older buildings.
• You want a parquet look without parquet maintenance. Vinyl is waterproof, more scratch-resistant, and significantly easier to maintain.
• The room is rather small. A herringbone pattern laid lengthwise visually stretches the room.
• You are also renovating the kitchen or bathroom. Unlike wood parquet, herringbone vinyl easily withstands moisture.

What you should look out for with herringbone vinyl

Plan your waste correctly. As a rule, 5 to 10% waste is sufficient, just like with straight installation. In small or angular rooms, use the higher value because the pattern is cut more often at the edges. How to calculate this for your room is explained in the guide How much waste you should plan for.

Pay attention to A and B planks. A true herringbone pattern requires mirror-image plank pairs. For most series, both are already included in the package; if in doubt, just ask, and we will check this for your desired decor.

The subfloor must be level. This applies to all vinyl; however, with herringbone, unevenness is more noticeable due to the many short joints. How to check this is explained in the guide Leveling compound for vinyl flooring.
