FAQs:
What is parquet flooring?
Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring characterised by its geometric patterns and intricate designs. It’s made up of small wood pieces, arranged in repeating patterns such as herringbone, chevron, or basketweave. These patterns create a visually stunning and unique floor surface.
Which direction should you lay herringbone flooring?
The direction in which herringbone flooring should be laid will depend on preference and the layout of the room. However, traditionally, herringbone flooring is laid at a 90-degree angle to the longest wall in the room to help create a visually appealing and balanced look.
How do you start a herringbone pattern?
To start a herringbone pattern, determine the starting point and angle, often at the centre of the room. Lay the first piece of flooring at a 45-degree angle to the walls. Continue placing subsequent pieces at 90-degree angles to each other, alternating left and right angles. Maintain consistency and precision throughout the installation process for a seamless result.
