Herringbone Laminate Flooring for a Distinctive Interior

Herringbone laminate flooring creates a recognisable zigzag pattern that adds visual interest to a room. Unlike standard planks laid in parallel rows, herringbone flooring uses shorter boards arranged in a repeating pattern.

The collection includes Natural, Smoked, Carbon Grey, Arctic Grey, Lightly Smoked and Invisible Herringbone Laminate. These products measure 101mm wide, 606mm long and 12mm thick.

Herringbone laminate can work well as a feature in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, depending on the room layout and product suitability. Before ordering, check the installation instructions and required laying method. Patterned installations may also involve more cutting waste than a straightforward plank layout.

All the laminate products listed in this collection are 12mm thick, with different widths and lengths depending on the design.

When comparing laminate flooring, look beyond thickness and dimensions. Check the individual product information for details such as abrasion rating (AC rating), surface construction, locking system, moisture resistance and warranty. These specifications should be confirmed before choosing flooring for a particular room or level of use.

Is Laminate Flooring Easy to Maintain?

Laminate flooring is often chosen for its straightforward routine care. Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a suitable hard-floor setting helps remove dust and grit, while a laminate-safe cleaner can be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

To help maintain the surface:

• Remove grit and dirt regularly to reduce the risk of surface marks.
• Wipe up spills promptly and avoid leaving standing water.
• Use cleaning products recommended for the specific flooring.
• Fit suitable floor protectors beneath furniture where appropriate.
• Follow the manufacturer's guidance for cleaning, maintenance and repairs.

Laminate products vary in their resistance to moisture, scratches and everyday wear. Do not assume that every laminate floor is waterproof or suitable for bathrooms and other areas exposed to frequent moisture. Check the product specifications and installation guidance before purchasing.

Choosing and Installing Your Laminate Flooring

Before ordering, measure the room carefully and calculate the area to be covered. Allow for cutting waste, with around 5–10% extra serving as a common starting point. The amount required depends on the room shape, layout and whether you choose standard planks or a herringbone pattern. Your installer can help confirm the appropriate quantity.

Check the subfloor requirements, underlay recommendations and installation method for your chosen product. If you plan to use underfloor heating, confirm compatibility with the specific laminate and heating system, and follow the manufacturer's installation and temperature instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is laminate flooring made from?

Laminate flooring commonly has a fibreboard core, a decorative layer that recreates the appearance of wood or another material, and a protective surface layer. The precise construction varies by product.

2. Is 12mm laminate flooring a good choice?

A 12mm thickness is one factor to consider when comparing flooring. Also check the product's abrasion rating, construction, locking system, moisture resistance and warranty to assess whether it meets your needs.

3. What is the difference between standard and herringbone laminate flooring?

Standard laminate planks are generally laid in rows, while herringbone boards are arranged in a repeating zigzag pattern. Herringbone creates a more decorative appearance and may require additional cutting during installation.

4. Can laminate flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Some laminate products are suitable for underfloor heating, but compatibility depends on the flooring and heating system. Confirm the manufacturer's requirements before installation.

5. How do I clean laminate flooring?

Sweep or vacuum regularly and use a suitable laminate cleaner when needed. Avoid excessive water, clean up spills promptly and follow the care instructions for your chosen product.
