Herringbone flooring however has recently become extremely popular especially in the LVT world.The main difference is probably the size of the tiles.A herringbone pattern can be laid with any size tile and recently all the manufacturers have created new sizes to meet the demand. Karndean introduced an 18 inch x 3 inch tile to their Knight Tile range which proved so popular that they then introduced the same size to some of their Art Select Range. Likewise Amtico brought out a Form range to cater for demand. The herringbone pattern however can be laid with even larger tiles eg 48 inches x 7 inches, provided of course you have a large enough floor area.Obviously in a small hallway it would be impossible to achieve the desired effect with a large tile, hence the old classic parquet size tile would be used, because effectively it is the same flooring pattern.

Herringbone Flooring or Parquet Flooring
Herringbone flooring is a form of pattern that basically any Luxury Vinyl Tile can be laid to.Likewise parquet flooring is another name for basically the same thing.Parquet flooring was originally a type of wood flooring that has been around for hundreds of years, found in Churches,Schools and lots of high value buildings.The wood tiles were usually a standard 9 inches x 3 inches in size. Karndean and Amtico both produce this same size tile in a vinyl tile resembling the original wood ones and both are very, very authentic looking.They have been available for years and considered classic in both wood and vinyl.

I love the detail about herringbone and parquet patterns. I recently installed flooring in my hallway, and I can see how tile size really changes the overall effect. Has anyone tried mixing classic parquet sizes with larger herringbone tiles for a unique look?
