Herringbone parquet flooring is made up of a number of timber blocks; herringbone flooring is totally geometrical and angular design. Parquet flooring is a symbol of craftsmanship and luxury and extra value to whatever type of design you require.
Herringbone parquet flooring comes in a number of designs; the most popular is the traditional herringbone flooring pattern. This design is both elegant and sophisticated. Herringbone parquet flooring is a simple design that will stand the test of time. We provide it in a range of herringbone flooring timbers, and one of our favourites is to theme solid oak herringbone parquet flooring with a black American walnut inlay border.
Herringbone parquet flooring is suited to both large and small areas: as you can see from some of our recent parquet flooring projects – click here to view. We can provide you with many designs and layout for your herringbone flooring . This ranges from single herringbone flooring or a double herringbone flooring to diagonal herringbone flooring – also known as square herringbone flooring.
To embellish a herringbone parquet flooring we can add a border detail which complements the shape of your room. We have borders available in oak, walnut, mahogany, teak, maple and ash. From our experience an ideal combination for your herringbone parquet flooring design, to really set off a room, is to team darker woods: such as teak, walnut, wenge and mahogany inlays, with lighter woods: such as oak, maple and ash.
We can also customise flooring: made, designed and shaped individually for your requirements.

Herringbone Parquet Flooring Project – Co. Dublin
An example of a herringbone parquet flooring project that we fitted over 14 years ago which had a number of issues. This project was a church in Dublin that we were hired by an architect in Dublin and it was decided to go for herringbone parquet flooring, which we imported as it was a specific block 300x50x22mm size. We had consulted with the architect and decided this herringbone flooring was the most suitable for the job as it would be the most stable for expansion reasons and the most durable for this type of project. We applied expansion gaps every 2 meters to allow the herringbone flooring to move. The main issue we came up against was moisture on the sub-floors. When we did a reading we had discovered very high readings of moisture. This meant we were not able to bond the herringbone flooring directly to the concrete on further inspection we realised, there was no DMP installed in the concrete floors. We had to put down a layer of DMP before laying the herringbone flooring. We used Laydex and Bostick products as they are the best for intricate situations with herringbone parquet flooring. After 14 years this herringbone flooring is still perfect and will only ever need minor maintenance to keep it looking new. This is why herringbone parquet flooring is the most popular choice when it comes to this style of flooring.
