When you want a floor with a luxurious elegance that will truly distinguish your interior, a wide plank herringbone floor may be the perfect choice. The herringbone flooring pattern has been a favorite of homeowners since the it was first used for flooring in the castles and palaces of 16th century Europe. Today, wide herringbone flooring is being installed in some of the finest residential and commercial interiors around the world, using wider floorboards to add even more visual appeal.
When you’re ready to explore the possibilities of a herringbone hardwood floor, the design consultants at Carlisle Wide Plank Floors can help you choose from the many options for wood, color, texture and structure, enabling you to design a floor that is the perfect reflection of your sense of style and taste.
Wide herringbone flooring from Carlisle can be fashioned from any of our hardwood, pine or reclaimed timbers. Each species or type of floorboard offers different natural coloring, grain patterns and other features that give it – and your wide plank floor – a distinct personality.
Herringbone flooring is a hardwood floor where the planks are installed in a herringbone pattern, with each board joining the next at a right angle to form a zigzag pattern. The pleasing asymmetry and sense of movement in a herringbone wood floor adds great visual interest to any room.
A wide plank is a hardwood floor made with floorboards that are wider and longer than the standard commercial flooring, which is usually 2¼”to 3” wide and up to 4’ long. Wide plank floors may use boards up to 12” wide, though wide herringbone flooring will tend to use boards that are 4” in width or wider
The prefinishing process is a great option for a wide herringbone floor, as all the meticulous detail work of cutting, sanding, staining and sealing the wood can take place in the ideal conditions of Carlisle, rather than in your home. Our Carlisle Custom Coat® process produces prefinished herringbone wood flooring that looks and feels like floors finished on-site, without all the mess and inconvenience created when a floor must be sanded, stained and sealed after installation.
Wide herringbone flooring can easily be installed with engineered wood, which uses boards made with a veneer of hardwood that’s glued to multiple layers of backing material. The result is a floor that can easily stand up to conditions where more moisture and humidity are present. Carlisle offers two collections of engineered wide herringbone flooring, and we can also custom design an engineered herringbone floor.
