Created by Italian craftsmen for the King of France, his royal highness, King Francois I,  Herringbone is renowned as one of the original parquetry patterns developed in luxury hybrid timber floor Europe. In 1539, King Francois I, used this design on floors within the Chateau de Fontainebleau. It’s possible for skilled DIYers, but professional installation is strongly recommended for perfect alignment and pattern accuracy.

From a family business comes an extra level of care, and we’re proud of the product and service we offer. Floating timber floors are laid over your existing floor, such as tiles, vinyl or concrete. If you already have timber floors or carpet, this needs to be pulled up first. A foam underlay is then placed underneath the floor for noise insulation. The advantage of using a genuine timber floating floor is that it can be sanded and refinished if necessary, unlike timber laminate.

Crafted from high-quality timber, each plank features the authentic grain patterns and textures that only nature can provide. Solid timber flooring is laid in straight lengths while parquet flooring is laid in such a way that it can have a mosaic effect. Parquet flooring can be laid as square patterned tiles or instead can be solid block parquet, which can be laid in a variety of patterns. Hundreds of designs are available, and parquet flooring can give your floor a look that can't be duplicated with any other flooring material. But let’s be real—as stunning as it looks, solid hardwood floorboards aren't known to be as friendly on the wallet as it is on the eyes. In this hardwood flooring cost guide, we break down the cost of timber flooring per square metre so you can choose a flooring that fits both your budget and your design dreams.

The Lalegno Herringbone Collection epitomizes luxury with its three-layer, full-oak construction, mirroring the aesthetic of solid hardwood floors yet engineered for superior performance. Each layer is meticulously cross-laminated with oak to enhance durability and stability. This design merges the reliability of engineered timber with the robustness of solid timber, aptly described as Engineered Solid Timber Floors, to provide the advantages of both.
Pair it with a simple stacked wall or explore other designs in our pattern tiles collection. A professional tiler will keep lines straight and ensure clean transitions at walls and thresholds. Herringbone flooring is also widely used with stone or ceramic tiles, such as in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas.

Whether you’re upgrading a residential space or enhancing a commercial interior, Herringbone delivers a distinct architectural statement that blends tradition with modernity. Hybrid, vinyl, and laminate flooring can often be installed over existing floors if the surface is level and in good condition. Our team can assess your space and provide expert recommendations to ensure a flawless installation.
When used in feature zones such as an entryway or formal living area, our herringbone oak flooring brings character without overwhelming the room. Because of the complexity, herringbone is not recommended as a DIY project. The subfloor must be perfectly flat, dry, and clean to ensure a flawless finish.
