Gravesend herringbone vinyl flooring — fitted with borders
Done properly, a herringbone LVT floor lasts 15–20 years. Done badly, it shows every subfloor bump and the borders never line up. Across Gravesend we screed or ply first, snap the pattern lines off the longest wall, and glue every plank — no clicks, no movement.
