FAQ Herringbone Laminate

Is laminate flooring available in a Herringbone pattern?

Can I install herringbone laminate myself?

What’s the difference between herringbone and Chevron laminate?

The difference between herringbone and Chevron laminate comes down to how the planks are cut. Herringbone uses straight rectangular boards that meet at a right angle, creating a broken, staggered zigzag pattern. Chevron planks are cut at an angle, forming a clean, continuous V shape. Chevron looks sleeker and more modern, while herringbone has a more classic, timeless feel.

No. At Quick-Step, herringbone laminate is priced in line with our other laminate collections. Thanks to the smart Unizip system, installation is faster, easier and creates less waste, as only one plank type is needed.
