Choose the right format
Plank
Plank or one strip floors are available in many different widths and lengths and are often bevel edged to visually define each board.
Installation
Engineered planks offer the quickest installation and can be installed by laying (floating) on an appropriate high-density underlay or by fully bonding to the subfloor with flexible wood floor adhesive. When floating a floor, T&G joints should be bonded with PVAC adhesive.
Herringbone
A traditional parquet style remains timeless, adaptable for single or double patterns, offering alternate options, remaining as trendy as ever.
Installation
Herringbone parquet flooring should be fully bonded to a correctly prepared subfloor with a flexible wood floor adhesive. PVAC adhesive should not be used on the joints. Herringbone floors are multi-directional and installation is more complex so can take more time to plan and set out than plank floors.
Chevron
Typically, left and right blocks create the unbroken chevron pattern at a 45-degree angle, also referred to as French herringbone.
Installation
Chevron parquet flooring should be fully bonded to a correctly prepared subfloor with a flexible wood floor adhesive. PVAC adhesive should not be used on the joints. Installation is more complex so can take more time to plan and set out than plank floors.
Design Panel
Traditionally these are square panels but with modern milling techniques we have a wide range of Geometric shapes on offer.
Installation
Design panels can be tongue and grooved and sometimes just grooved so that false tongues are need to complete the T&G joint. Panels should be fully bonded to a correctly prepared subfloor with a flexible wood floor adhesive.
