Waterproof Hybrid Floors
While often mistaken for Chevron, Herringbone uses distinct plank cuts and a unique installation method to create a timeless, yet effortlessly stylish aesthetic. With over 40 years of proven craftsmanship, AJ Flooring delivers premium timber flooring backed by honest service, expert installation, and long-lasting results. First, warm natural timber tones are replacing the cool grey floors that dominated Australian interiors for the last decade. Honey oak, mid-walnut, and natural blonde timbers are all having a moment – and herringbone shows off grain and colour variation far better than a plain plank layout. Herringbone flooring is increasingly popular in Australian interior design, seen in new builds, renovations, and luxury apartments.

We source premium flooring from reputable suppliers and install it with precision craftsmanship. The result is beautiful, durable flooring designed to perform for years to come.
Kitchens are increasingly popular for herringbone, particularly where the kitchen opens to a living space and a continuous floor runs through both areas. Rectangular boards are cut square at each end and laid at 90-degree angles to each other, creating a repeating zigzag that resembles the bones of a herring fish. The result is a floor that has movement, depth, and a distinctly crafted look that standard straight-laid boards simply do not produce. Lighter, natural tones work well with minimalistic or coastal interiors, highlighting the pattern without overwhelming the space. The pattern creates an interesting appearance that makes the room appear large than it actually is. Herringbone flooring is a type of patterned wood flooring that has been used since the early 1900s in Australia.

Because of this, WPC floors can usually only be laid in ¼ of the volume of an SPC floor before the floor needs to be compartmentalised into Separate rafts. WPC and SPC are 2 different types of Hybrid flooring that have a lot in common. WPC technology was first created for composite decking, and the product eventually made its way into flooring. SPC is a later development and improvement upon the older WPC and solved a lot of WPC’s inherrant issues. Because the SPC core is waterproof, hybrid is the most-versatile hard flooring we sell. The only rooms we generally do not recommend it for are permanent wet rooms like the inside of a shower enclosure.
The Lalegno Herringbone Collection highlights the timeless appeal of traditional parquet flooring, defined by its distinctive herringbone pattern. This classic layout adds movement and visual depth to both contemporary and classic interiors. Block parquet flooring is solid timber available in a range of species. This type of parquet flooring comes in lengths of 260mm and is usually 65mm wide and 18mm thick. As this is a type of timber flooring, you can expect prices to sit at the higher end of the bracket. You will also save money on installation costs with prefinished parquet veneer.
Herringbone flooring is a popular choice because of its unique look and feel. It is made up of tightly woven strands that create a herringbone pattern; hence the name. This design is both stylish and functional, as it provides numerous benefits when it comes to durability, aesthetics, traction, and moisture resistance. This type of timber flooring is laid on bearers and joists when the home is built and is the traditional type you'll encounter in older homes.
In light oak colours, these patterns can feel elegant without becoming too heavy or traditional. They are a strong choice for entries, living rooms, formal spaces, and premium design projects. Herringbone flooring is made from real hardwood veneer layered over a plywood or HDF core, and is arranged in a classic V-shaped zig-zag pattern. It combines the elegant look of traditional parquet with the modern durability and stability of engineered wood.
The finish you choose plays a significant role in long-term maintenance. A matte, hard-wax oil finish gives a warm, natural look and is easy to spot-repair if a section is damaged – you can often recoat a small area without sanding the whole floor. A polyurethane finish is harder and more resistant to scratches but requires a full sand when it eventually wears through.
