Herringbone Entry and Hall Floor

Wood-look porcelain in a herringbone pattern, running from the front door through the main hall.

The family loved the warmth of hardwood but had watched winter boots ruin the floor at their front door. Wood-look porcelain gave them the same feel with a surface that shrugs off salt and water.

We stiffened a soft spot in the subfloor, added an uncoupling membrane and snapped the herringbone’s centre line to run straight down the hall from the front door. Every plank at the walls was cut individually, and the pattern meets the existing hardwood at a clean, level transition.
