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. The result is a floor that looks genuinely premium and design-led while offering the durability and ease of maintenance that makes LVT such a popular choice for busy homes.

For customers comparing herringbone formats, Bodo is the SPC click option — quicker to install, more forgiving over subfloor imperfections. The alternative within the Nordikka range is Tromso Herringbone LVT, which uses a traditional glue-down format for a more permanently bonded result.

Bodo vs Tromso — Which Herringbone is Right for You?

Both deliver the herringbone pattern in the Nordikka range, but with different construction and installation methods:

• Bodo Herringbone SPC: Rigid core, click-lock, floating floor — faster to install, forgiving over minor subfloor variation, firm underfoot feel.
• Tromso Herringbone LVT: Traditional flexible LVT, glue-down — permanently bonded, seamless and stable finish, preferred for larger areas and open-plan spaces.

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

What is SPC Herringbone Flooring?

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) 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.

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: 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: SPC is inherently waterproof throughout — suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
• Durable: Resistant to scratches, dents and everyday wear — built for busy households.
• Natural wood-effect finishes: Realistic oak tones available 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, and living rooms or feature areas where a premium finish is the goal.

Its waterproof construction also makes it suitable for bathrooms and utility spaces, allowing you to 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.
