How to Install Herringbone Flooring: Step-by-Step Guide

Installing herringbone flooring requires precision, planning, and craftsmanship. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or hiring professionals, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install herringbone wood floors correctly.

1. Choose the Right Material & Layout

  • Select solid or engineered hardwood suitable for your space.
  • Common woods: white oak, red oak, walnut.
  • Decide on pattern: or 45° (angled) herringbone.

2. Prepare the Subfloor

Make sure the subfloor is flat, dry, and clean before installation begins. Any dips or moisture can lead to movement or failure down the line. Proper subfloor prep is the foundation of a flawless herringbone floor.

3. Mark the Layout & Center Line

Use chalk lines to find and mark the center of the room. This step ensures the herringbone pattern is balanced and aligned throughout the space. Starting from the center creates symmetry and a clean, professional finish.

4.Dry-Lay the Pattern

Dry-lay several rows without glue to confirm spacing and angle accuracy. This helps you visualize the final layout and catch mistakes before they happen. It's a critical step to achieve that perfect zigzag flow.

5. Install with Adhesive

Spread adhesive using a notched trowel and start laying the boards from the center. Each plank must be carefully placed to maintain the V-pattern unique to herringbone. Work slowly and check alignment with each piece.

7. Sand, Stain & Seal (If Needed)

If using unfinished wood, sand the entire floor smooth, then apply your chosen stain and protective finish. This step enhances the wood grain and protects the floor from wear. Custom finishing gives your herringbone floor its final look and feel.
