Floor type

Herringbone & Chevron

Classic parquet, done properly.

Nothing lifts a period property like a well-set parquet floor. We fit both herringbone (90°) and chevron (mitred angle) in solid and engineered oak — with borders, feature strips or clean edges to suit.

§ 03 · Questions

Good to know.

Herringbone or chevron — which suits my home?+

Herringbone is more forgiving and traditional; chevron reads more contemporary and formal. We'll bring samples on the survey.

Can you match an existing parquet floor?+

Yes — we source reclaimed and new blocks to match tone, size and grade for repairs or extensions.
