herringbone parquet is experiecing a renaissance
a definition of terms.
Herringbone parquet can still be found in castles, palaces and, manor houses today. Magnificent ballrooms were decorated with the special laying pattern. Only since the 19th century, connected with industrialization, the parquet floor was made accessible to citizens and has decorated countless public and private rooms since then.
The herringbone pattern is a particularly trendy classic and timeless style element. Individual parquet strips are laid at right angles to each other and regular and symmetrical patterns are created that are reminiscent of a fish bones. A particularly elegant effect is how it shimmers in the light. Daylight hits both sides of the herringbone parquet at different angles. That is why the wooden floor is center stage and makes for an extraordinary eye-catcher. In contrast, the chevron floor (also called French herringbone floor) is laid at a 45 ° angle and thus differs in the laying angle of the wood. What is special about the laying method is the infinite number of V-shaped planks that run parallel to each other, which visually enlarge the space and give it an individual character.
