Barnehurst herringbone vinyl flooring — fitted with borders
Herringbone is the most-requested LVT pattern we fit in Barnehurst — usually in oak or smoked finishes, often with a single inlay border around the room edge. It works beautifully in 1930s bay-fronted semis where it picks up natural light from the front bay.

Three things that decide a lvt fit in Barnehurst
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s bay-fronted semis subfloors in Barnehurst almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Barnehurst hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Glue-down herringbone in oak, walnut and smoked finishes
- Self-levelling screed where the subfloor isn't flat
- Single or double border, with or without inlay strip
- Pattern direction set on the longest sightline
