Luxury Vinyl Herringbone Flooring Installation Guide

Our luxury vinyl herringbone flooring uses the click-lock system, meaning that it is suggested to be installed as floating floors. The edges, attached with a self-locking mechanism, offers a simple installation without using any glue or nails. For herringbone the flooring is installed with RR and LL panels.
The RR and LL panels differ in terms of which side you find the tongue and groove. Be sure to keep them separate during installation and follow the instructions below.

Installation Instructions

Start by placing two RR panels and three LL panels in the form of a V shape.

Connect the first RR panel into the first LL panel by angling it.

Connect the second LL panel on the left side of the V shape by angling it.

Alternate RR and LL panels until all five panels have been connected.

Mark a straight line from the lower left corner of the third LL panel through the top right corner of the first LL panel to form a triangle. Cut along the line with a saw.

Place triangles working your way outward from the centre of the wall.

Measure and cut the remaining two triangles and slot them between the walls and the other triangles.

Continue with the next row of RR panels. Connect the long side by angling it. Measure and cut the panel closest to the wall as necessary.

Slide the panels along its long side and connect the short side by snapping it using a tapping block.

Use LL panels for the next row. Measure and cut the panel closest to the wall as necessary. Continue alternating RR and LL panels for the remainder of the room.
