Herringbone & Parquet Flooring Dublin
Add timeless elegance with herringbone, chevron, and parquet patterns. Expert installation of the most beautiful flooring designs in Dublin.
Herringbone and parquet flooring are the hallmark of a truly elegant home. These geometric patterns have graced the finest buildings in Europe for centuries, and they remain one of the most sought-after flooring designs today.
At Wooden Floors Dublin, we specialise in pattern flooring installation. Herringbone, chevron, basket weave, and Versailles patterns all require precision cutting and expert fitting — skills our team has refined over 20+ years.
We install herringbone and parquet in both solid and engineered wood. Oak is by far the most popular species for pattern floors, offering the perfect combination of hardness, grain character, and warmth. We also work with walnut, ash, and maple for those wanting something different.
Pattern flooring transforms a room like nothing else. A simple herringbone layout turns an ordinary living room into a statement space. And because these designs are timeless, they never go out of style — your floor will look as relevant in 20 years as it does today.
Our Process
Design Consultation
We discuss pattern options, wood species, and colour preferences. We bring physical samples and help you visualise the result in your space.
Precision Planning
Pattern flooring requires exact measurements and layout planning. We calculate the starting point, border details, and material quantities precisely.
Expert Installation
Our specialist fitters lay each block or plank with precision. Herringbone and parquet take longer than standard plank installation — we don't rush the craft.
Sanding & Finishing
For unfinished blocks, we sand the completed pattern to a smooth surface, then apply your chosen finish. Pre-finished products skip this step.

What's the difference between herringbone and chevron flooring?
Herringbone uses rectangular blocks laid at 90-degree angles, creating a zigzag pattern where blocks overlap. Chevron uses blocks cut at an angle (typically 45 or 60 degrees) so they meet in a perfect point. Chevron creates cleaner lines; herringbone has more visual texture.
How much does herringbone flooring cost in Dublin?
Herringbone flooring in Dublin costs EUR 65-130 per square metre installed. The price depends on wood species, block size, engineered vs solid, and finish type. Oak engineered herringbone is the most popular mid-range option.
Can herringbone flooring be installed with underfloor heating?
Yes — engineered herringbone is fully compatible with underfloor heating. We recommend glue-down installation over UFH for the best heat transfer. Solid herringbone blocks are not recommended for UFH.
Is parquet flooring old-fashioned?
Not at all. Parquet and herringbone have been experiencing a major resurgence in interior design. Modern interpretations with wide planks, contemporary stains, and matt finishes give these classic patterns a thoroughly modern look.
How long does herringbone installation take?
Herringbone and parquet take longer than standard plank installation due to the precision required. A typical living room (20 sqm) takes 2-3 days. Add 1-2 days if sanding and finishing is needed for unfinished blocks.
