Types of Herringbone Flooring

Laminate Herringbone Flooring:

Price range: £18.99 – £27.99 per m²

Laminate herringbone flooring is an affordable way to achieve the classic, sophisticated look of a herringbone pattern without the high cost associated with traditional wood flooring. Typically priced between £18.99 and £27.99 per m², laminate herringbone flooring is significantly cheaper than its engineered or solid wood rivals, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. This type of flooring is designed to mimic the appearance of natural wood, offering a variety of colors and finishes that can complement any interior decor. The realistic textures and patterns available in laminate flooring ensure that you can achieve a high-end look at a fraction of the cost​​.

In terms of maintenance, laminate herringbone flooring is known for its durability and ease of care. Unlike natural wood, laminate is resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, making it an ideal option for high-traffic areas and households with pets or children. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping, is usually sufficient to keep laminate flooring looking its best. Additionally, laminate flooring is less prone to warping and moisture damage compared to wood, making it suitable for installation in areas like kitchens and basements.

Luxury Vinyl Herringbone Flooring (LVT & SPC):

Price range: Around £29.99 – 34.99 per m²

Luxury vinyl herringbone flooring is renowned for its versatility, making it a highly adaptable choice for various interior spaces. Its design flexibility allows it to mimic the appearance of natural materials like wood and stone while providing a range of colors and textures to match any decor style. This versatility makes it suitable for different rooms, from living areas and bedrooms to kitchens and bathrooms. Additionally, luxury vinyl is available in various thicknesses and wear layers, catering to both residential and commercial needs. The ability to install it over most existing subfloors without extensive preparation further enhances its practicality​​. Price / cost of material can vary depending on the wear layer and brand of the vinyl product. Also, the fitting method; whether the product is a dry back LVT (glue down) or if it’s a click system, could affect the price tag – not only on the product itself but potentially the cost of fitting / installation too!

One of the standout features of luxury vinyl herringbone flooring is its water proof abilities. Unlike natural wood and MDF products which can warp or swell when exposed to moisture, luxury vinyl is designed to be water-resistant, making it ideal for high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. This moisture resistance also contributes to its ease of cleaning and maintenance. Routine cleaning involves simple sweeping or vacuuming, coupled with occasional mopping using a damp cloth or a vinyl floor cleaner. Its resistance to stains and spills ensures that it maintains its appearance over time without the need for special treatments or refinishing, making it a low-maintenance and durable flooring option​.

Solid Wood Parquet / Herringbone Flooring:

Price range: Around £44.99 per m²

Solid wood flooring in a herringbone pattern exudes timeless elegance and natural beauty, making it a highly sought-after choice for those looking to add a touch of sophistication to their interiors. Each plank is made from a single piece / species of hardwood all the way through, ensuring a rich, warm, authentic appearance that showcases the natural grain and texture of the wood. This type of flooring is known for its durability and longevity; with proper care, solid wood herringbone floors can last for decades, developing a unique character and patina over time. The classic zigzag pattern not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also creates a sense of movement and depth, making rooms appear larger and more dynamic​​.

The installation of solid wood herringbone flooring, while more labor-intensive and time-consuming compared to other types, offers unparalleled stability and strength. The individual pieces are meticulously cut and laid out in the distinctive V-shaped design, interlocking perfectly to form a stable and durable surface. This meticulous installation process ensures that the floor remains robust and resistant to wear and tear. Furthermore, solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times over their lifespan, allowing homeowners to restore their original beauty and luster.

Engineered Wood Herringbone Flooring:

Price range: £32.99 – £69.99 per m²

Engineered wood herringbone flooring offers numerous benefits, particularly in terms of stability and durability. Unlike solid wood, engineered wood consists of multiple layers of plywood topped with a real wood veneer. This construction provides enhanced stability, making the flooring less susceptible to movement when there’s changes in temperature and humidity. As a result, engineered wood herringbone can be installed in areas where solid wood might warp or swell, such as basements or areas with underfloor heating​​. Additionally, the robust nature of engineered wood means it can withstand high foot traffic and daily wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial settings​​.

In terms of finishes, engineered wood herringbone flooring offers a wide range of options to suit various aesthetic preferences and practical needs. Common finishes include brushed and lacquered, brushed and oiled, and hardwax oiled. Lacquered finishes provide a smooth, glossy surface that is highly resistant to stains and scratches, making it ideal for busy households. Brushed and oiled finishes offer a more natural, matte appearance that enhances the wood’s texture and grain while providing moderate protection. Hardwax oiled finishes combine the best of both worlds, offering a natural look with strong durability and easy maintenance​. These diverse finish options allow homeowners to choose the perfect balance of beauty and functionality for their spaces.

Herringbone Flooring Wastage / Off-Cut Allowance
When installing herringbone flooring, it’s important to allow for approximately 12% wastage. Wastage in herringbone flooring installation arises primarily due to the pattern’s complexity and the necessity for precise alignment. The herringbone pattern involves angled cuts and frequent adjustments to fit the flooring neatly around the edges and corners of a room. Each piece must align perfectly to maintain the continuous zigzag pattern, which often results in significant offcuts from each plank. Additionally, mistakes in cutting or placement during installation can contribute to increased wastage, as each error may require a new piece of flooring to correct. The 12% allows for such necessary cuts and adjustments during installation, ensuring enough material is available to complete the project with a consistent and professional finish.
