Herringbone Laminate in Eltham — common questions
Laminate is cheaper and harder underfoot; LVT is warmer, quieter and fully waterproof. For a Eltham living room laminate is honest value; for a kitchen LVT is the safer spec.
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 Eltham Park herringbone laminate fit we do.
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 SE9 kitchens.
Herringbone takes roughly 1.5x standard laminate — a 25m² Eltham living room in herringbone is 2 days.
