Herringbone & Chevron Hardwood Flooring
For the Pittsburgh, PA area and clients nationwide

The oldest pattern of parquet flooring - wooden blocks arranged in geometric patterns - was developed to mimic brickwork, which was common on church floors in 16th century France. The oldest known herringbone hardwood floor is from 1539. Like all parquetry, chevron and herringbone hardwood floors require precision in mill and miter work.

Boards can be wide or thin and finished with any of our custom hardwood distresses - whatever gives your flooring the feeling of home you desire. Herringbone and chevron hardwood floors are unique in the sense that not only can they provide a sophisticated air to a room, but they can also make the space appear larger than it actually is while lending an old-world feel to any home.

The Difference Between Herringbone Hardwood Flooring & Chevron Hardwood Flooring

A common question we get is "what is the difference between herringbone and chevron?" The answer is in the zigzag pattern. Herringbone has a broken zigzag design while chevron has a continuous zigzag design. Herringbone pieces are cut in rectangles, whereas chevron pieces are cut at an angle. If you take a look below at our work, you will see the difference in the hardwood flooring pattern.
