Herringbone and Chevron Parquet Flooring – Two Popular Patterns

Herringbone parquet flooring and Chevron parquet flooring are two popular patterns that add elegance and visual interest to any space. While they share similarities in technical qualities and design versatility, they have distinct historical origins, angle degrees, and patterns.

Herringbone parquet has ancient origins, with roots in ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The pattern consists of rectangular blocks that are cut at a 90-degree angle and arranged in a zigzag pattern. This classic pattern brings a sense of tradition and timeless beauty to interiors.

On the other hand, Chevron parquet has a historical origin dating back to 17th-century France and became synonymous with luxury and opulence. The pattern features parallelogram-shaped blocks that are cut at a 45-degree angle and arranged in a continuous V-shaped pattern. Chevron parquet flooring exudes a more contemporary and dynamic aesthetic, adding a touch of boldness and architectural flair.

Parquet Flooring Offers Advantages

In terms of technical qualities, both Herringbone and Chevron patterns offer similar advantages as we manufacture them from oakwood, a top-class hardwood. Both patterns are suitable for underfloor heating systems, as the engineered construction of the boards allows for efficient heat transfer. Additionally, both patterns exhibit durability and stability, thanks to our precise manufacturing techniques and the use of high-quality materials. They are resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for high-traffic areas, and provide long-lasting performance.

Flooring Choice Depends on The Desired Aesthetic Impact

Both Herringbone and Chevron patterns offer a wide range of design possibilities. They can create numerous interior styles, from traditional and elegant to modern and contemporary. The choice between the two patterns ultimately depends on personal preference and the desired aesthetic impact in the space. Herringbone parquet flooring lends itself well to classic and timeless designs, while Chevron parquet flooring adds a more dynamic and contemporary touch. Considering the overall style and atmosphere of the room, as well as the individual’s taste and vision, will help in making the right choice.

Herringbone and Chevron patterns each bring their own unique charm to interior spaces. While Herringbone exudes tradition and elegance, Chevron adds a contemporary and bold flair. Both patterns offer technical qualities such as suitability for underfloor heating, durability, and stability.
