Timeless Herringbone Floor

The herringbone floor, a classic pattern that has stood the test of time. At Uipkes we embrace this timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Our herringbone floors radiate class, matching various interior styles. Discover the harmony between tradition and modernity.

Welke Visgraat Vloer

Een visgraatvloer is een vloer waarbij de vloerdelen onder een hoek van 90 graden ten opzichte van elkaar worden gelegd. Hierdoor ontstaat een patroon dat lijkt op een haring visgraat. We bieden visgraat vloeren in 9 formaten en wel 90 kleuren. Of je nu een klassieke of moderne inrichting hebt, er is altijd een visgraat vloer die bij jou past. Ontdek wat verschillende afmetingen en kleuren kunnen betekenen voor de uitstraling van jouw interieur.

Herringbone on underfloor heating

A herringbone floor goes perfectly with underfloor heating . Uipkes has years of experience with this. Whether the underfloor heating serves as main or additional heating, the herringbone floor can be placed over it as engineered wood floor . 

In fact, the wooden herringbone floor can even be laid over an existing tiled floor with underfloor heating . Even then, the wooden floor and the room heat up wonderfully quickly. 

We mainly use oak laminated parquet. This is a layered floor with a top layer of oak and a bottom layer of cross-glued birch plywood. The resistance of the wood we use is low (Rc=0.088), which means the heating time is shorter and the room stays warm for longer.

The top layer we use is 4 mm oak and therefore has a lifespan of many decades. You can also sand it several times if you find this necessary in the future or if you are ready for a new look or color finish.

You can combine wooden herringbone floors from Uipkes with underfloor cooling and various underfloor heating systems, which we can also install for you.

Herringbone with Underfloor heating in New Construction or Renovation Homes

The sometimes centuries-old houses in Dutch cities are also equipped with existing wooden construction floors, so-called dry construction systems are used for this. The herringbone floor can also be perfectly combined with this. 

A new-build home ? These underfloor heating systems are very suitable for directly gluing a herringbone floor over it. In any case, we always check four weeks in advance whether your subfloor is suitable. This way you can enjoy your new underfloor heating floor with peace of mind.

Visgraat parket, PVC of laminaat?

Vloeren in het visgraatpatroon zijn voornamelijk beschikbaar in hout, laminaat en PVC.

Echte houten vloeren gaan een leven lang mee, zijn gemaakt van natuurlijke herwinbare grondstoffen en kunnen eenvoudig in de oude staat hersteld worden, maar zijn vaak prijziger bij aanschaf dan andere vloerbedekkingen.

 Visgraat laminaat en visgraat PVC vloeren zijn vaak beschikbaar tegen lagere kosten, maar hebben een meer beperkte levensduur en zijn niet milieuvriendelijk en duurzaam. Daarnaast is de houtlook slechts een imitatie van hout en is ook het gevoel en de geur niet vergelijkbaar met dat van echt hout.

Duurzaamheid staat bij Uipkes voorop, waarbij wij alleen ecologisch verantwoorde visgraat vloeren leveren die met aandacht voor mens en natuur zijn geproduceerd.

Onze biologisch gebaseerde vloeren, in tegenstelling tot olie-gebaseerde visgraat laminaat en visgraat PVC vloeren, hebben een levensduur van tientallen jaren. Dit maakt ze niet alleen elegant, maar draagt ook bij aan een duurzamere toekomst.

Visgraat vloer onderhoud

We behandelen de visgraat vloer met een speciale natuurlijke lijnzaadolie die zorgt dat de vloer goed is beschermd tegen alle invloeden van buitenaf, zoals water of andere vloeistoffen.

We leveren bij de visgraat vloeren o.a. een eigen zeep die de vloer eenvoudig weer netjes maakt. Verder is het altijd goed om de vloer regelmatig te stoffen, stofzuigen en/of dweilen. In de bijgeleverde onderhoudsset vind je middelen om jouw vloer in topconditie te houden. Regelmatig vloeronderhoud verlengt de levensduur en beschermt de afwerking van jouw vloer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a herringbone floor and how is it installed?

A herringbone floor is a floor in which the floorboards are placed against each other at an angle of 90 degrees. This creates a motif that resembles a herringbone. The floor is installed with the point created by placing the floorboards perpendicular to each other, in the longitudinal direction of a room.

What is the origin of the herringbone pattern?

The herringbone pattern is derived from the skeleton of a herring. The pattern has been in use for thousands of years and can be found in jewelry of nobles and artistic expressions in ancient Egypt.

The herringbone pattern was first used as parquet flooring more than 500 years ago in the 16th century, mainly in country houses and castles of noble families.

Is the herringbone floor a trend-sensitive product?

The herringbone parquet floor is an absolute classic that you can give a modern twist. The pattern is thousands of years old and deeply rooted in the human subconscious and is a recognizable symbol, making the herringbone wooden floor less susceptible to trends.

How much does a wooden herringbone floor cost?

The price of a wooden herringbone floor depends on a number of factors, such as the wood specie , the width of the floorboards, the choice of solid wood or engineered wood and the type of finish, such as the color, skirting boards, band and piping.

Installing a floor in a herringbone pattern is labor-intensive and precision work. It is therefore advisable to have this floor installed instead of installing it yourself, which also entails installation costs. The choices make it difficult to give a price tag per m2, every floor is custom-made.

All herringbone prices mentioned include color finish and VAT and exclude subfloor, glue and installation. Final prices depend on the preliminary inspection and your wishes.

What variations are there on the standard herringbone pattern?

There are several variations possible on the standard herringbone pattern. This could, for example, be a double or triple herringbone. In addition, the installation direction can be turned a quarter turn for a modern-looking elbow pattern.

How do I choose the right size herringbone floorboards?

Choose the right size herringbone floor depending on the space and the atmosphere you want to create. In a large room with small shelves, the floor will require a lot of attention. This is because there are many floorboards, each of which has its own color and structure. If you have a large 'boring' room that you would like to decorate more, you can choose a smaller size because more 'happens' in the room. 

If you have a home from, for example, 1850 and you want to retain the feeling of that time, then choose smaller floor parts with a band, piping and high skirting boards, similar to the style of that time. You can also make a combination of these choices to give the whole a slightly more calm or modern look.

If you have a new-build home or penthouse and you like a minimalist style, then choose large herringbone planks, for example 22 or 24 cm wide. You can place these floorboards against the wall without a belt. It is possible to have the floorboards cut completely cold against the walls. In this case you do not need skirting boards and the design becomes even more minimalist. After all, you only have a large-sized plank and not the band, piping or skirting board that all require attention.

You always use the rule of thumb that the living room is leading when determining the dimensions of the floorboards. After all, this is your main residence and this is where you spend most of your time. The corridor is a space in which you move from one room to another: the so-called circulation areas. 

You do not adjust the format accordingly. You can probably start in the middle here, so that the pattern is evenly distributed from left to right. Get advice on determining the correct size for the best results.

Which wood specie is mainly used for herringbone parquet floors?

The herringbone floor is mainly supplied in oak because of the favorable properties of this wood specie and the relatively lower costs compared to other (tropical) wood species . Oak herringbone parquet is durable and will last a lifetime.

Can I have a wooden floor made to measure?

Yes, you can make custom colors and herringbone planks at a wooden floor specialist like Uipkes. This way you always get a handmade floor according to your personal wishes.
