Well-designed interiors instantly create impact, attract attention and can communicate a great deal about you or your business . If you are planning to renovate your home or office, taking time to carefully consider every element is essential and flooring is a vital component of any space. There are so many options available it can be overwhelming to select the ideal flooring to both provide the practical solution you need whilst also complementing your décor and style. For example, what material will be best – solid wood or engineered, laminate, tile or vinyl? Then what type of style, design or pattern of flooring – distressed, short plank, long-plank, wide planks, herringbone?
The style of flooring that is currently gaining immense popularity for both traditional and contemporary settings is herringbone parquet flooring.
A herringbone pattern creates a statement floor no matter what material is used to produce it and always looks amazing. In particular, herringbone engineered wood flooring has a real wood top layer with the built-in variety of shades and textures that come with a natural wood product, generating stunning and unique floors. Engineered wood flooring is a better value alternative to solid wood with a host of other built-in benefits and its classic appeal and versatility make it a popular choice.
What is Herringbone Parquet Flooring?
Herringbone is the most popular pattern of parquet flooring, created by the arrangement of wood planks in alternating zig zag from at the right angle. This floor pattern got its name from the shape of the spinal bone of the herring fish and it dates back to the Romans, although it really became fashionable during the 1600s.
Why Choose Herringbone Engineered Wood Flooring?
There are many reasons to decide on engineered wood for your herringbone flooring.
Creates a Timeless Statement
The herringbone parquet flooring design has been used for centuries to create beautiful, statement solid wood floors in grand houses and public buildings. A design feature on its own, the flooring complements both traditional and contemporary décor styles, making it an increasingly popular choice now the herringbone pattern is available in more modern materials.
Offers Variety & Choice
Herringbone is a very versatile flooring choice for interior design. A vast array of styles, installation types and material options are now available with a wide choice of colours, from deep, rich wood tones to classic oak to the more contemporary whites and greys popular in modern buildings. The size of the boards can vary, as can the finish, enabling you to create stunning designs for any space.
Durable and Long Lasting
Herringbone engineered wood flooring is particularly sturdy and durable. The real wood top layer gives the same natural appearance and depth of colour variation as solid wood, with the added benefit of an engineered, layered base. This makes the boards more stable, particularly in areas where temperature and humidity fluctuate. In addition, the pattern arrangement of herringbone and size of the individual boards helps maximise the strength of the flooring.
So if you are looking for flooring to create impact with design flexibility herringbone is a perfect solution and engineered wood herringbone will give you the natural beauty of solid wood with the practical benefits, and cost savings, over solid wood.
