Recent Project: Herringbone Flooring Installation in Edinburgh

A recent Build-Able flooring project showcasing precision herringbone installation, careful detailing and the professional finish our team is known for.

Herringbone flooring can completely transform a property, but achieving a high-quality result requires considerably more than simply laying the floor. This recent Build-Able project is a good example of the specialist flooring work our team undertakes.

The pattern was carefully set out and installed through the property, working around doorways, adjoining spaces and period detailing to create a consistent finish.

The visual impact of herringbone comes from the accuracy of the installation. Initial setting out, alignment and detailing at walls, thresholds and transitions all need to be right. Our clients regularly comment on how professional, tidy and respectful our team are while working in their homes.

Unlike a conventional straight-laid floor, a herringbone pattern naturally draws the eye along its lines. Careful preparation and setting out allow the pattern to sit naturally within the proportions of the property, particularly around door openings, changes of direction, skirting boards and architectural features.

In this property, the natural timber tones work particularly well alongside the traditional joinery, tall skirting boards, decorative cornicing and generous proportions of the rooms. The finished floor adds character without competing with the original architectural features.
