Bodo Herringbone SPC

Bodo Herringbone SPC brings together two things that were historically difficult to combine: the detailed aesthetic of traditional parquet herringbone and the practical performance of modern rigid core vinyl. It is built on a 5.0mm SPC core with a 1.0mm integrated acoustic underlay and a 0.55mm wear layer, in a 590 x 118mm herringbone block. It is fully waterproof, rated R10 for slip resistance, phthalate-free and FloorScore and CE certified.

Bodo vs Tromso: Which Herringbone is Right for You?

Both bring the herringbone pattern to the Nordikka range but with different construction and installation. The table below compares the SPC herringbone (Bodo) with the glue-down LVT herringbone (Tromso).

For renovation projects and spaces where installation speed or subfloor conditions are a consideration, Bodo SPC is the more practical choice. For a permanent result in a feature space or large open-plan room, Tromso glue-down offers the most seamless finish.

What is SPC Herringbone Flooring?

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) herringbone flooring uses a dense rigid core made from limestone and stabilisers, creating a stable base that does not flex or move like traditional LVT. In a herringbone format this rigidity is a genuine advantage – the pattern requires precise plank alignment and the stable SPC core helps maintain that alignment over time.

The click-lock system means planks join without adhesive, creating a floating floor that can be installed over existing surfaces and does not require the extensive subfloor preparation that glue-down herringbone demands. This makes SPC herringbone one of the most practical ways to achieve a parquet look in a busy home.

Why Choose Bodo Herringbone SPC?

• Design impact: the herringbone pattern adds depth, structure and a premium feel that standard plank flooring cannot achieve – particularly effective in hallways, kitchens and open-plan spaces.
• Rigid core stability: the SPC construction provides excellent dimensional stability, helping the herringbone pattern stay precise and consistent over time.
• Fast click installation: no adhesive needed – quicker to install than glue-down herringbone and easier to replace individual planks if required.
• Fully waterproof: the SPC core is inherently waterproof throughout – suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
• Built-in acoustic underlay: the 1.0mm integrated underlay gives 20 dB impact sound reduction, useful in upstairs rooms and apartments.
• Natural wood-effect finishes: realistic oak tones in a range of shades to suit both modern and traditional interiors.

Where Does Bodo Herringbone SPC Work Best?

Herringbone flooring is at its most effective in spaces where the floor is a design feature in its own right. Bodo is particularly well suited to hallways and entrance areas where first impressions matter, kitchens and open-plan dining spaces where the pattern adds texture and detail, plus living rooms or feature areas where a premium finish is the goal.

Its waterproof construction also makes it suitable for bathrooms and utility spaces, so you can carry the herringbone style consistently throughout the home. The SPC click format makes it especially practical for renovation projects where the subfloor may not be perfectly level.
