Discover The Beauty Of Herringbone Parquet Flooring With Manhattan Hardwood Floor Company

By Lonnie Hahne


Hardwood floors serve as a breathtaking addition to homes and parquet flooring makes an amazing, natural centerpiece.

One classic pattern is the herringbone pattern, which is so difficult to properly install that homeowners should never attempt to tackle this task on their own (this is actually true for almost all of the best Manhattan NY hardwood floor inlays). This is a pattern that found its beginnings in Europe and it should be installed in homes with the points traveling the longest direction of the space and facing towards a center point of focus.

Herringbone parquet can be installed using a variety of materials and stains - normally oak or ash. Although the colors used are natural, they can range from near black to pale cream. Herringbone is often confused with chevron - but in a chevron pattern the boards meet in a true point, while in herringbone they are staggered, creating a more subtle effect. Herringbone is best installed in larger areas where the effect can be appreciated.

Because herringbone can be challenging to install, you should choose an experienced installer that regularly sells this pattern. Make sure they use quality materials. Price for parquet flooring can vary a lot, depending on the grade of wood, the species used and the stain. It is often possible to choose different grades of wood according to your budget - but you should not cheap out on something as important as your new floor.

Find out whether the type of parquet floor you've requested is acceptable for installation of under-floor heaters if these are present in your home - this could be problematic with certain adhesives, but the right installation service will make sure that your floor lasts.

In long rooms that are very thin and in large, wide open spaces, herringbone parquet makes an excellent inlay. If parquet floors are something that you'd like to know more about, call a trusted installer to get the information you need or to talk about a more suitable pattern for your home.
