Project Floors Herringbone LVT Flooring

The Project Floors Herringbone LVT collection brings one of flooring’s most enduring patterns back into the spotlight, leveraging the versatility and durability of luxury vinyl tile. The herringbone pattern, with its distinctive interlocking rectangular planks arranged in a zig-zag formation, creates an immediate sense of sophistication and visual interest. Project Floors provides specific plank sizes (e.g., 457x76mm, 610x102mm) designed explicitly for creating authentic herringbone layouts, as well as other traditional parquet designs like woodblock or ladder patterns if desired.

This collection typically features a robust 0.55mm wear layer, making it suitable for heavy domestic use and capable of handling significant foot traffic in commercial environments like shops, restaurants, and offices. The surface is often enhanced with a protective PU coating and features realistic embossing that mimics the grain and texture of real wood, making it virtually indistinguishable from the natural material. Unlike traditional wood parquet, Project Floors Herringbone LVT boasts excellent water resistance, allowing this elegant pattern to be confidently installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas without fear of water damage.

Installation requires the glue-down method, which ensures maximum stability for the intricate pattern and long-term performance. Professional fitting by someone experienced in herringbone layouts is crucial for achieving a flawless result. The flooring is compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 29°C) and offers good slip resistance. Project Floors also prioritises health and sustainability, often using phthalate-free materials and achieving low VOC emission certifications. With a range of wood-effect colours and styles available, the Herringbone LVT collection allows for personalised, high-end design backed by strong warranties (details vary by specific collection).
