Set out true, laid to last
Herringbone & chevron floor fitting
Herringbone and chevron are unforgiving patterns. If the centre line is out by a few millimetres at the start, the error compounds across the room and shows against every wall. We set out from the centre, dry-lay before fixing, and cut the perimeter last.
01. Set out from the centre
02. Solid or engineered
A pattern that shows every mistake
Chevron is cut at an angle so the blocks meet in a continuous V; herringbone is cut square and interlocks at 90 degrees. Chevron costs more because every block is mitred, and there is no hiding a bad cut.
Over underfloor heating we fit engineered blocks, glued down. Solid blocks move too much with the heat cycle and will gap.
Set out from a centre line
Sanded flat, then sealed
How we fit a herringbone floor
Survey and moisture test, then acclimatise the blocks in the room for five to seven days. Level the subfloor, set out the centre line, dry-lay a section to check the pattern against the room, then glue down working outward. Perimeter and border cut last, then sanded flat and finished.
