Why Choose Herringbone Flooring for Your Home?
If you’re looking for an elegant and stylish flooring option, herringbone flooring is a timeless choice that adds character to any room. At Hereward Carpets and Flooring in Peterborough, we offer a wide range of herringbone styles—available in carpets, rugs, laminate, vinyl, and LVT flooring.
What Is Herringbone Flooring?
Herringbone flooring features a distinctive zigzag pattern created by laying small rectangular planks in a staggered V-shape. The pattern resembles the bones of a herring fish—hence the name herringbone.
This flooring style dates back to the Renaissance period, where it became especially popular in French chateaux and palaces. By the 18th century, it was a symbol of luxury in the homes of the wealthy and royal families across Europe.
Modern Herringbone Flooring: Style Meets Practicality
Today, herringbone flooring is more accessible than ever. Thanks to modern materials like vinyl, laminate, and LVT, you can enjoy the timeless look of herringbone on a budget that suits you.
Herringbone Vinyl & Laminate
Vinyl and laminate floors offer the herringbone pattern at a lower cost, while still being practical and stylish. These materials are:
- Moisture resistant – perfect for kitchens and bathrooms
- Durable and low-maintenance
- Scratch- and stain-resistant, especially with options like Quickstep laminate
Herringbone LVT Flooring
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring offers a premium look with added benefits:
- 100% waterproof
