Why Choose Herringbone in Luxury Vinyl?

A herringbone floor adds a touch of elegance and refinement to any room, but it's also a neutral pattern that doesn't become the centre of attention. Used well, it can make spaces feel larger and full of life.

Wood is the traditional choice for herringbone flooring, but luxury vinyl offers a number of advantages, beginning with easy installation. Most LVT uses modern click or glue-down mechanisms, which enable quicker installation without specialist tools.

Vinyl also makes herringbone flooring an option in spaces where it would be hard to install real wood, like kitchens, bathrooms and high-traffic hallways. Vinyl is constructed to be extremely water-resistant and to withstand impact.

Material & Design Options

Because the look of LVT comes from a high-definition printed layer, many different finishes are available. Warm, natural wood is the traditional choice for herringbone, but you also have choices like grey or stone for fresh, unique looks.

The herringbone pattern itself is formed by arranging boards at right angles. The thickness of these boards, and specifically the wear layer on the surface, makes a difference to how long they'll last. Choose sturdier options in high-traffic areas.

Another modern benefit of LVT is its compatibility with underfloor heating. Correct installation is essential for this. Many vinyl boards simplify installation by using a click system and built-in underlay.

Application Advice & After-care

There's nowhere that luxury vinyl herringbone can't really go, but its durability and water resistance make LVT especially suited to hallways and kitchens. 

However, you might enjoy the sophisticated style of your herringbone pattern more by putting it in a room where you spend time and relax, like the living room.

Wherever you choose to put it, you can look forward to enjoying it for a long time with very little maintenance. LVT doesn't require as much upkeep as real-wood. Just keep it clean.

FAQs

Herringbone is a flooring pattern created by laying planks at 90° angles to form long zigzag lines. Luxury vinyl refers to the material the planks are made from. It looks like real wood but is more waterproof and hard-wearing.

Luxury vinyl is able to recreate wood grain in high-definition detail, creating a realistic natural wood look. Unlike real wood, it won't subtly change as it ages, but it's low-maintenance and offers many practical benefits.

Vinyl is a strong choice for use with underfloor heating systems, as it's very stable and conducts heat well. Unlike solid wood, it's not prone to warping when subject to frequent temperature changes.

The herringbone laying pattern isn't complicated, but it does require a little preparation. Find the room's centreline and work outwards from there, dry-laying first to make sure the pattern looks nice and even.

Ensure that the edges along the walls are neat and straight, then you can lay the planks properly.

The need for planning time and precision-cut planks means that pattern flooring is often more expensive to install than standard plank flooring.

Luxury vinyl herringbone handles high-traffic areas with ease. Vinyl is very durable, with a tough wear layer that's extremely resilient to scuffs and scratches, and a herringbone pattern helps hide any minor signs of wear that do arise.

Vinyl is a great choice for those who don't want the commitment of caring for wood. It's very low maintenance and needs no special treatments, only regular, gentle cleaning.

A herringbone floor is a great way to add visual interest to a kitchen or bathroom, but heat and moisture are challenging for wood. Vinyl is an excellent alternative. It looks like wood but is also heat and water-resistant.

The thickness of vinyl tile affects its durability and cost. A good approach is to go thicker for high-traffic areas and lighter for spaces with less footfall or underfloor heating.
