Herringbone Parquet

Herringbone parquet is distinguished by its diagonally cut planks forming a herringbone pattern. Elegant and classic, it adorns the most refined interiors.

Herringbone parquet is oriented in the direction of the main light. In natural oak for a classic look, in walnut for a chic feel, in bleached oak for a contemporary style.

Mistake: installing herringbone parquet in a room that is too small where the pattern is not visible. It needs space to shine.

Herringbone parquet adds a touch of elegance and refinement thanks to its distinctive geometric pattern. It is perfectly suited for classic interiors and can also integrate into more contemporary styles.

The most common species for herringbone parquet are oak, ash, and beech. They offer durability and interesting aesthetics. You can also consider more exotic woods like teak or bamboo for a unique result.

To maintain your herringbone parquet, it is recommended to dust it regularly with a broom or vacuum cleaner, and to perform a deep cleaning with a suitable product every 6 months to 1 year. Avoid abrasive products that could alter the finish.

Herringbone parquet can be installed in two main ways: nailed or glued. Nailed installation is more suitable for subfloors in good condition, while glued installation is better for uneven floors. In both cases, careful preparation of the subfloor is essential to ensure the durability of your parquet.

The cost of herringbone parquet can vary depending on the quality of the wood, the finish, and the surface to be covered. Generally, expect between 50 and 150 euros per square meter for purchase and installation by a professional. Also, remember to budget for regular maintenance of your parquet.
