The blocks sit at an angle to form a neat zig-zag, and that simple trick makes a floor look considered rather than plain. At Hardly Floors we supply herringbone to the trade in two forms. You can specify laminate or waterproof luxury vinyl, and both are built for everyday use.

It combines natural style with reliable, long-lasting performance. Lignum laminate carries an AC4 abrasion rating. That means it is made to cope with high traffic areas such as halls, landings and living rooms. A herringbone pack covers 1.92m2. If a job calls for a straight layout, the same range is sold as straight planks, and those packs cover 1.43m2. - ![AC4 abrasion class rating](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/images/pdf/AC4.png) ## Waterproof Herringbone LVT Where water is a concern, our [waterproof LVT](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/waterproof-flooring "Waterproof flooring") is the smarter option. It is 100% waterproof and suitable for all rooms, including kitchens and bathrooms. The Lignum LVT collection is available in click and dryback formats, so it can be locked together or glued down depending on the subfloor. A herringbone pack covers 2.23m2, while straight plank packs cover 2.64m2.

Barley oak, Linen oak and Seashell oak keep things light and airy. Mocha oak, Truffle oak and Ranch oak offer deeper, warmer tones. Greywood and Rustic grey suit cooler, more modern schemes. Sahara oak sits between the two, which makes it an easy choice when a client wants something neutral. Samples of every shade are available to view in store. ## Herringbone In Carpet Herringbone is not limited to hard flooring. Our carpet ranges include [Country Herringbone](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/product-range/carpets/category/country-herringbone "Country Herringbone carpet"), [Venice Herringbone](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/product-range/carpets/category/venice-herringbone "Venice Herringbone carpet") and [Delft Herringbone](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/product-range/carpets/category/delft-herringbone "Delft Herringbone carpet"). Country Herringbone blends rustic charm with stain-resistant performance, and it is built to survive busy domestic traffic. Delft Herringbone is crafted from 100% wool and offers natural warmth with real resilience. ![Country Herringbone stain resistant carpet](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/images/com_hikashop/upload/country-herringbone.jpg) ![Castro engineered real wood flooring](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/images/com_hikashop/upload/castro.jpg) ## Laminate, LVT Or Real Wood? Laminate and LVT both recreate the look of timber at a lower cost. Where a specification demands genuine timber, our [Castro engineered wood range](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/product-range/engineered-wood/category/castro "Castro engineered wood") delivers rich, natural real wood tones with everyday durability. Engineered wood brings natural warmth and timeless character to a room. Our team can explain the differences so you specify with confidence.
