How to lay flooring properly? Flooring installation methods to make the floor look high-end.

Many consumers spend a lot of time and energy researching wood flooring species, types, environmental performance, and other properties when buying flooring, but few research the installation methods. Why is it that the flooring they buy at high prices often seems rather ordinary and not as beautiful as advertised?

In fact, the natural grain and luster of wood flooring itself exude an irreplaceable charm, and the installation method can enhance its beauty, bringing a unique aesthetic.

When it comes to flooring installation methods, the most common patterns include herringbone, ribbed, chevron, herringbone, diagonal, and grid patterns.

Pattern 1: Herringbone pattern

The herringbone pattern is the most common way to splice wood flooring. After the first row is laid, the middle of each plank in the next row is aligned with the middle of the previous row and laid parallel to each other. The finished shape looks like the Chinese character "工" (gong). It is a relatively conventional splicing method.

Pattern Paving 2: Step-by-Step Rise

The step-by-step paving method, also known as the staggered paving method, is similar to the herringbone pattern but with some differences. It not only emphasizes the staggered arrangement of the front and back rows of tiles but also creates the feeling of ascending stairs, with visually progressive layers that can also promote a positive and uplifting mood for the residents.

Pattern 3: Herringbone pattern

Herringbone pattern is a way of arranging pieces that resembles the Chinese character "人" (person). It has a strong three-dimensional effect and visually resembles gently rippling water, flowing slowly. It is elegant, retro, fashionable, and beautiful, and can enhance the vitality of a space.

Pattern 4: Herringbone pattern

Herringbone pattern gets its name from its resemblance to a fishbone. At first glance, it looks similar to herringbone, but each herringbone plank requires a 45-degree or 60-degree cut on both sides, resulting in greater waste. However, it has a neat and extended visual appearance, like a fish swimming freely and happily in the water, creating the effect of extending space.

Pattern 5: 45-degree diagonal paving

A 45-degree angled installation of wood flooring creates a pleasing overall effect, resulting in a natural and soft look, making it the top choice for large-area installations. It is particularly effective in rectangular rooms, visually widening the space and making it feel more spacious.

Pattern 6: Grid-like Paving

The "grid pattern" tiling method involves joining several rectangular wooden boards of the same length to form a square, then alternating horizontal and vertical lines to create a grid pattern. The square and orderly design combines a sense of order with a touch of dynamism.
