Herringbone Laminate in Bromley — common questions
Herringbone takes roughly 1.5x standard laminate — a 25m² Bromley living room in herringbone is 2 days.
Water-resistant AC5 ranges (Egger Aqua+, Quick-Step Impressive) survive kitchen spills for 24 hours. Not swimming-pool waterproof like LVT, but fine for family BR1/BR2 kitchens.
Technically yes, but it looks like planks cut at 45° — because they are. Herringbone-specific SKUs are made in true herringbone blocks. Standard on every Bickley herringbone laminate fit we do.
Laminate is cheaper and harder underfoot; LVT is warmer, quieter and fully waterproof. For a Bromley living room laminate is honest value; for a kitchen LVT is the safer spec.
