Textures Herringbone Flooring UK (2026): The Complete Guide

Herringbone is one of the most-requested layouts in UK luxury vinyl flooring, and Textures LVT carries one of the best-judged herringbone formats on the market: a 95mm x 380mm mini-plank sized correctly for residential rooms, in 16 authentic wood-effect colours, built on Textures’ standard 0.55mm wear-layer specification with a 30-year residential warranty. For buyers who want a herringbone floor that reads at the right scale without paying for premium-brand pricing, Textures herringbone is a genuinely strong option.

This guide covers the full Textures herringbone range, the colour palette, how the mini-plank format compares to oversize herringbone alternatives, installation considerations, room suitability and how Textures herringbone compares to Karndean Van Gogh, Amtico Spacia, Polyflor Camaro and Nordikka herringbone options. To browse the range, the Textures LVT category page lists every herringbone design we stock. For the wider Textures verdict, see our Textures LVT flooring review.

The Short Answer

Textures herringbone is a 95mm x 380mm mini-plank format in 16 wood-effect colours, glue-down dryback construction, 2.5mm total thickness, 0.55mm wear layer, EIR (Embossed in Register) surface and bevelled edges on all four sides. The 95mm width is the residential herringbone sweet spot: large enough to read as a deliberate parquet pattern, small enough to scale to hallways and smaller rooms without dominating. For most residential herringbone projects in the UK in 2026, Textures herringbone is one of the strongest value-for-specification options available.

What Is Textures Herringbone?

Textures herringbone is the parquet-format sister product to Textures plank LVT. Where the plank format is supplied at 187mm x 1,227mm for straight-lay layouts, the herringbone format is supplied at 95mm x 380mm for traditional herringbone or chevron patterns. The 16 colours in the herringbone range are coded TH01 through TH16 and match the plank palette colour-for-colour: pair plank format in one room with herringbone format in an adjoining room and the colours align exactly.

Every Textures herringbone plank carries the same specification as Textures plank: 2.5mm total thickness, 0.55mm transparent wear layer, Matt EIR finish that aligns the embossed grain with the printed wood pattern, micro-bevel on all four edges to define the plank-by-plank layout, and a PU surface layer that delivers scratch and stain resistance. The floor is fully waterproof, R10 slip-rated to DIN 51130, underfloor heating compatible up to 27 degrees Celsius surface temperature, A+ for VOC emissions and contains no formaldehyde. The 30-year residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty apply equally to the herringbone format.

The 16 Textures Herringbone Colours

The Textures herringbone palette is the same 16 wood-effect colours as the plank range, prefixed TH:

Pale and Scandinavian-leaning tones: TH01 Sycamore, TH08 Ash, TH09 Blonde Oak, TH10 Light Oak. These suit contemporary kitchens, bright open-plan spaces and rooms where the floor lifts the light. Pale herringbone reads softly and works well in modern interiors.

Warm mid-tones (the most versatile group): TH04 Washed Oak, TH05 Weathered Oak, TH07 Honey Oak, TH11 Summer Oak, TH13 Traditional Oak. The most-specified colours across our installations. They work in traditional and contemporary interiors equally well and complement most kitchen, hallway and living-room palettes.

Character oak and rustic tones: TH02 Old English Oak, TH06 Distressed Oak, TH12 Country Oak, TH14 Cottage Oak. Stronger grain detail and natural character markings. Best in living rooms, dining rooms and period properties where the floor anchors the room with visible texture.

Deep tones: TH03 Tudor Oak, TH15 Aged Oak, TH16 Warm Walnut. Rich, dark colours suited to traditional interiors, studies and rooms where a darker floor balances pale walls or lighter furniture.

Why the 95mm x 380mm Size Matters

Herringbone is a layout, not a product spec. The same pattern can be laid using almost any plank size, but the plank size dramatically changes the visual impact of the finished floor.

Some brands offer oversize herringbone formats (110mm x 880mm, 130mm x 1,000mm or larger). At those sizes the herringbone pattern reads as a statement floor in large open-plan rooms but quickly overwhelms smaller spaces. A 130mm-wide herringbone block in a 1.5-metre-wide hallway looks like ill-judged scale rather than considered design.

Textures herringbone at 95mm x 380mm is sized to the residential herringbone tradition. The pattern reads as deliberate parquet at every typical room size: a 95mm-wide block scales to a hallway, a kitchen-diner, an open-plan living space and a bedroom equally well. For buyers who want a herringbone floor that reads correctly across a whole-home installation rather than just in one statement space, the 95mm-wide format is the safer specification.

The 380mm length follows the same logic. Long enough to give each block visual presence, short enough to allow tight herringbone-pattern alignment around door frames, fitted units and architectural details without excessive cutting waste.

Which Rooms Suit Textures Herringbone

Hallways and entrance areas. The directional herringbone pattern draws the eye along the length of the hall, making narrow spaces feel longer and more deliberate. The most-popular application for Textures herringbone in our installations. Browse hallway LVT for more context.

Kitchens and kitchen-diners. Herringbone adds visual interest to large floor areas where a standard plank layout can feel flat. Fully waterproof construction handles kitchen spills and the 0.55mm wear layer holds up to chair-leg movement and foot traffic. Browse kitchen LVT for cross-brand options.

Living rooms and open-plan spaces. Herringbone provides warmth and texture without dominating. In open-plan layouts, a herringbone floor can visually distinguish living, dining and kitchen zones while maintaining material continuity.

Bathrooms. Fully waterproof construction and R10 slip rating make Textures herringbone suitable for residential bathrooms. Choose darker tones (Aged Oak, Warm Walnut, Tudor Oak) for bathrooms because they mask water-mark visibility better than pale tones. Browse bathroom LVT.

Dining rooms. A herringbone floor under a dining table is a classic combination. The pattern provides visual depth that complements furniture without competing with it. Mid-tone or character oaks work particularly well here.

Bedrooms. Herringbone in bedrooms reads as more design-led than straight-lay plank. Lower traffic than living areas means the 0.55mm wear layer is comfortably over-specified for the use.

Installation Considerations

Glue-down only. Textures herringbone is supplied as glue-down dryback – there is no click-installation variant. Professional installation is essential. The subfloor must be flat (typically within 3mm over 2 metres), dry, sound and clean before installation begins. Latex screeding is often required on older subfloors to deliver the flatness that herringbone patterns demand.

Professional fitting is essential for herringbone. Herringbone layouts amplify any installation imprecision. Misaligned starting points, inaccurate spacing, irregular diagonal cuts at room perimeters and uneven adhesive application all show clearly in the finished pattern. A skilled LVT fitter with herringbone experience is significantly more important here than for a straight-lay plank floor.

Subfloor preparation matters more than the product. A perfect Textures herringbone product installed over a poorly-prepared subfloor will telegraph high spots, dimples and grit through the surface within weeks. A correctly-prepared subfloor (full latex screed where needed, full vacuum, moisture-tested) is the foundation for a 20+ year service life. Cutting corners here is the single biggest cause of LVT herringbone disappointment.

Underfloor heating. Fully compatible with both wet and electric UFH subject to Polyflor’s 27 degrees Celsius maximum surface temperature. Use a floor probe to monitor the actual surface temperature rather than relying on a room thermostat alone, and commission UFH gradually over the first weeks rather than ramping straight to full temperature.

How Textures Herringbone Compares to Other UK Brands

Textures herringbone vs Karndean herringbone

Karndean offers herringbone across Van Gogh (0.55mm wear layer, glue-down and rigid-core click formats) and Art Select (0.7mm wear layer, larger plank formats, premium tier). Karndean’s herringbone range is broader than Textures and offers click options Textures does not. However, Textures herringbone matches Karndean Van Gogh on specification (0.55mm wear layer, 2.5mm thickness) and typically prices below it. For cross-shopping mid-tier residential herringbone, Textures and Van Gogh are the same wear-layer specification at different price points.

Textures herringbone vs Amtico herringbone

Amtico herringbone spans Spacia (0.3mm wear layer, residential), Form (0.7mm) and Signature (1.0mm wear layer, customisable borders, premium tier). Amtico Signature offers the deepest design-flexibility for herringbone in UK LVT but at premium pricing. Textures herringbone is closer to Amtico Spacia on price but at a stronger 0.55mm wear-layer specification. For design depth and brand authority, Amtico wins. For value and specification, Textures wins.

Textures herringbone vs Polyflor Camaro herringbone

Polyflor Camaro’s residential herringbone formats are Cambridge Parquet (2251), Georgian Parquet (2252) and the Large Parquet series (LPQ2253, LPQ2256, LPQ2257), all sized for traditional or contemporary herringbone layouts. Polyflor Camaro carries a 0.3mm wear layer at 2.5mm gauge with UK manufacturing in Whitefield, Manchester. Textures herringbone sits one wear-layer tier above Polyflor Camaro on specification (0.55mm vs 0.3mm) at higher pricing. For UK manufacturing and the deepest residential parquet library, Polyflor Camaro is the better choice. For wear-layer specification at the price, Textures wins. Detail in our Polyflor Camaro herringbone guide.

Textures herringbone vs Brampton Chase herringbone

Brampton Chase offers herringbone in its Studio Designs collection with a design-led aesthetic. Textures and Brampton Chase compete at similar price points; the choice typically comes down to design preference (Brampton Chase is more design-led) versus specification clarity (Textures’ single-spec range is easier to specify).

Textures herringbone vs Invictus herringbone

Invictus offers herringbone across Primus (0.3mm wear layer entry tier), Maximus (0.55mm mid-range) and Ultimus (0.7mm premium), plus Maximus Click in rigid-core format. Invictus Maximus is the direct cross-shop alternative to Textures herringbone on wear-layer specification. Invictus has more format flexibility (click is available) but the tier structure means more decisions for the buyer. Textures’ single-spec range is simpler.

Textures herringbone vs Nordikka herringbone

Nordikka offers herringbone in Tromso Herringbone LVT (0.3mm wear layer, glue-down) and Bodo Herringbone SPC (rigid-core click format) at the most affordable end of the UK herringbone LVT market. For buyers where lowest possible cost is the priority and a lighter specification is acceptable, Nordikka undercuts Textures. For 0.55mm wear-layer durability, Textures is the step up.

Common Buyer Questions

What size is Textures herringbone? 95mm x 380mm mini-plank. Sized for residential herringbone layouts to read correctly at every room scale.

How many colours does Textures herringbone come in? 16 wood-effect colours, TH01 to TH16, matching the Textures plank palette exactly for whole-home installations.

Can Textures herringbone be installed over underfloor heating? Yes. Compatible with wet and electric UFH up to a 27 degrees Celsius maximum surface temperature.

Is Textures herringbone waterproof? Yes. Fully waterproof construction suitable for residential kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and wet zones. R10 slip rating to DIN 51130.

Does Textures come in click-format herringbone? No. Textures is glue-down dryback only. For click-format herringbone in this wear-layer bracket, alternatives include Karndean Van Gogh Rigid Core (0.55mm), Invictus Maximus Click (0.55mm) and Polyflor Camaro Rigid Core (0.3mm).

How long does Textures herringbone take to install? Pattern installations take 30-50 per cent longer than straight-lay plank because of the additional setting-out, cutting and edge work. For a typical 20 square metre hallway expect 1.5 to 2 days of skilled fitting on a properly-prepared subfloor.

Does the herringbone pattern cost more than straight-lay plank? The product price is the same per square metre, but expect higher fitting costs because pattern installation is slower. Always get a fitter quote that specifies the layout before signing off the design choice.
