A considered layout, from the first row to the final edge
Herringbone uses rectangular pieces arranged in a repeating, interlocking pattern. The direction of the layout, the size of the pieces and the colour of the timber all influence the finished room. A natural oak can show the grain clearly; lighter and darker finishes create different effects within the same pattern.
When planning your floor, we can discuss the rooms involved, how the pattern will continue between spaces and the preparation required for the existing floor. Those details help define the installation scope and the quote.

Herringbone flooring for Bayside and the south-east
Our completed Brighton project features Natural Oak, European Oak and a herringbone pattern. It provides a local example to explore before choosing your own floor. Visit the Projects page to compare it with the straight-plank oak flooring in Hampton and other Melbourne projects.
Supply and installation, or supply only
Tell us whether you need the flooring supplied for your own installer or would like to discuss the complete job. For installation enquiries, include the existing floor type, approximate area and any plans or photos that help explain the rooms.
If you are arranging your own installation, visit our engineered timber supply-only page. Product suitability, quantities, availability and lead time are confirmed for your selection.
What affects a herringbone flooring quote?
The selected timber, floor area, pattern layout, existing surface and preparation all affect the scope. Borders, transitions between rooms and finishing requirements should also be discussed before work is agreed. We provide a private quote for the project rather than publishing a single price that may not cover your requirements.
Is herringbone the same as parquetry?
Herringbone is one type of parquetry. If you are comparing patterned timber floors, our parquetry flooring page explains how to start choosing a layout.
