🔍 1. What is herringbone wood flooring?
Herringbone wood flooring is a pattern in which the planks are laid in a V-shaped or interlocking “fishbone” style, creating a sophisticated and spacious visual effect.
📐 Two most popular herringbone styles:
-
Chevron 45°: Plank edges are cut at a 45° angle, forming perfect sharp tips — elegant and classic European style.
-
Herringbone 90° (V-style): Plank edges are cut straight at 90°, forming alternating V-patterns — modern and soft look.
