Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone floors has been a long time traditional floor pattern in Europe. It can be installed in several configurations with or without the border. Popular variation of the herringbone, called Chevron or French Herringbone is prominent in many prestige's European Chateaus.
Typically installed piece-by-piece in various configurations, either parallel to the room walls or diagonally(as pictured above). Diagonal installation visually expands the room, but requires more material. Add at least 15% extra if doing this type of installation. For the best results the herringbone is installed by glue-down or combination of nail-down and glue-down. Herringbone pieces have grooves on three sides and one tongue on the long side.
Czar Floors Herringbone supplied as pre-cut T&G unfinished hardwood pieces, that can be assembled on site in different configurations. Herringbone planks available in 2-1/4", 3", 4", 5" widths in different thickness and wood species. The prices listed below are for the most popular choices. Consider using rift/quarter sawn (R/Q) option for radiant heated floors or where moisture stability is a concern. Read more why choose Rift and Quartered floor...
