Discover The Classic 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.

There are many different stains and materials that can be used during the installation of herringbone parquet - but ash and oak are used most often. Even though the colors for these floors are often very neutral, these can range from the palest of creams to dark black. Chevron and herringbone patterns are commonly confused, but chevron patterns meet at an exact point and herringbone boards have a more subtle and staggered effect. It is best used in large-sized spaces given that there will be ample room to appreciate this effect.

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 it will be problematic to have a specific type of parquet wood placed over any under-floor heating that exist - this can be an issue with certain adhesives, but if you have a quality installer you are pretty much assured of impressive results.

The best choice for inlay for any long rooms that you have or other large areas is herringbone parquet. If parquet floors are appealing to you, get in touch with a reputable installation company and ask for more information on herringbone parquet or any other pattern that has captured your attention.
