Herringbone Flooring FAQ

 

What is Herringbone Flooring?

Herringbone flooring is a premium parquetry flooring pattern created by laying rectangular timber boards in a staggered zigzag arrangement. This timeless European-inspired design adds visual depth, movement, and sophistication to both modern and traditional interiors.

​

Unlike Chevron flooring, which features angled board ends, herringbone flooring uses rectangular boards laid at 90-degree angles to create its distinctive interlocking pattern.

​

Imperial Flooring Australia® offers premium engineered oak herringbone flooring collections designed for luxury homes, apartments, and commercial interiors across Australia.

​

Why is Herringbone Flooring So Popular?

​

Key benefits include:

• Elegant European-inspired design

• Creates visual movement and depth

​

​

Is Herringbone Flooring Durable?

​

Benefits include:

• Improved stability compared to solid timber flooring

• Resistance to seasonal movement

• Long-lasting durability

​

​

What is the Difference Between Herringbone and Chevron Flooring?

Herringbone and Chevron flooring are both premium parquetry flooring styles, but the board layout differs.

 

Herringbone Flooring

• Boards are laid at 90-degree angles

• Creates a staggered zigzag pattern

• Offers a softer, more traditional appearance

 

Chevron Flooring

• Boards are cut at angled ends

• Creates a continuous arrow pattern

• Delivers a more symmetrical and contemporary look

 

Both styles create luxury statement flooring suitable for modern interiors.

​

Is Herringbone Flooring Suitable for Modern Homes?

Absolutely.

​

Herringbone flooring works beautifully in:

• Contemporary homes

• Coastal interiors

• Luxury apartments

• Hamptons-style homes

• Modern architectural builds

• Traditional interiors

​

Its versatile parquetry design complements both minimalist and classic interior styles.

​

Can Herringbone Flooring Be Installed on Concrete?

Yes. Engineered herringbone flooring can be installed over concrete subfloors when the slab is level, dry, and properly prepared with a moisture barrier.

 

Professional glue-down installation is generally required for parquetry flooring to achieve maximum stability and long-term performance.

​

Is Herringbone Flooring More Expensive?

Herringbone flooring typically involves a more detailed installation process compared to standard plank flooring due to the parquetry layout and precision required.

​

However, many homeowners and designers consider herringbone flooring a worthwhile investment because of its:

• Luxury appearance

• Timeless design

• Increased visual impact

• Added property appeal

​

How Do You Clean Herringbone Flooring?

Maintaining herringbone flooring is simple with proper care.

​

For best results:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly

• Use a damp microfiber mop

• Clean with a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner

• Avoid excessive water exposure

• Use felt pads under furniture

• Avoid abrasive cleaning products

​

Routine maintenance helps preserve the natural beauty and longevity of timber parquetry flooring.
