November 30, 2022

Are you looking to upgrade your home with flooring that is not only long-lasting but also elevates the style and value of your space? Herringbone wood flooring is one of the most elegant and practical solutions you can choose. Combining classic design with modern durability, herringbone flooring has become increasingly popular among homeowners, interior designers, and contractors worldwide.

At UNCLEWOOD, we specialize in premium solid wood and engineered herringbone flooring, offering a variety of colors, finishes, and textures to fit every design vision. Whether you want a traditional look or a contemporary style, our herringbone floors provide timeless elegance that enhances any room.

Why Choose Herringbone Wood Flooring?

Herringbone flooring is distinguished by its zigzag pattern, created by arranging equally sized rectangular wooden blocks at a 90° angle. This visually striking design adds depth, movement, and sophistication to a room, making even smaller spaces feel more expansive.

Unlike carpet, herringbone flooring is easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for busy households. Compared to laminated floors, real wood herringbone flooring offers a more natural look, superior durability, and long-term value. With proper care, a high-quality herringbone floor can last for decades.

Herringbone Flooring Installation: Step by Step

Installing herringbone flooring requires attention to detail and proper planning. Here’s how to achieve a flawless result:

1. Prepare the Subfloor

Before starting, ensure your subfloor is level, clean, dry, and stable. Even minor unevenness can affect the final result and compromise durability. Use an electrical moisture meter to verify the moisture content, especially for engineered wood. Correct flatness and subfloor preparation are the foundation of a perfect installation.

2. Plan the Design

The placement of the central “V” of the herringbone pattern is crucial. Align it with the room’s main sightline, such as the entrance, fireplace, bay window, or other focal point. Proper planning ensures a symmetrical layout that enhances the overall aesthetic.

3. Measure the Room Precisely

Mark the centerline of the room using a chalk line. Then, determine the exact rectangular area for the herringbone pattern. Use a trammel or compass to create intersecting arcs for precise alignment. Careful measurement prevents misalignment and ensures a professional finish.

4. Mix & Match Plank Colors

Real wood herringbone flooring varies naturally in grain and color. Mix planks from different packs to create a balanced, visually appealing pattern. Avoid placing blocks with similar texture or color next to each other. This technique results in a floor with rich variation and natural beauty.

5. Follow Instructions and Installation Guidelines

Even floors from the same collection may have different installation requirements. Read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, paying attention to adhesive type, acclimation, and installation sequence. Following these guidelines ensures long-lasting, flawless results.

Pro Tip: If you are unsure about measurement, color selection, or pattern alignment, our professional installers at UNCLEWOOD are ready to assist.
