Herringbone Tiles

Few patterns feel as timeless as herringbone. This parquet-inspired zig-zag adds rhythm and movement to floors and walls, working as beautifully in a period hallway as in a contemporary kitchen or bathroom.

Create the look with wood-effect planks for warmth without the upkeep of timber, elegant marble and natural stone, or hardwearing porcelain. Pair with a complementary border or a contrasting grout to soften or sharpen the effect.

Herringbone Tile FAQs

What is a herringbone tile pattern?
Herringbone is a layout rather than a tile shape — rectangular tiles set at 45 or 90 degrees to form an interlocking zig-zag. It is created from standard plank or rectangular tiles laid in this classic arrangement.

Is herringbone better in wood-effect or porcelain?
Wood-effect porcelain gives the warmth of timber with full waterproofing and no sealing, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Marble and plain porcelain herringbone suit a more refined, contemporary scheme. We stock all three so you can compare.

Can herringbone be used on walls as well as floors?
Yes — herringbone makes a striking feature wall or splashback as well as a floor. Choose a wall-rated tile for vertical use, or a floor-rated tile for underfoot.

Do you offer samples and UK delivery?
Yes — free cut samples are available, you can visit our Ascot showroom, and we offer free UK delivery on orders over £1,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between herringbone, chevron and brick-bond layouts?

These are all ways of laying rectangular or brick-shaped tiles. Brick-bond (or offset) staggers each row by half a tile, like a brick wall, for a classic, forgiving finish. Herringbone sets rectangles at 90 degrees in an interlocking zig-zag, while chevron cuts the ends at an angle so the tiles meet in a continuous V. Each gives a different level of detail and movement — our team can show you examples.

Are shaped or patterned-layout tiles harder to lay?

Patterned layouts like herringbone, chevron and intricate shapes take more planning and more cuts than a straight grid, so they reward careful setting-out and, ideally, an experienced tiler. The result is well worth it — a feature floor or wall with real character. We're happy to help you estimate quantities, allowing a little extra for the additional cuts.

Can these tiles go on both walls and floors?

It depends on the individual tile rather than its shape — suitability for floors, walls and wet areas is set by the material, finish and slip rating, shown on each product page. Many shaped and brick tiles work beautifully in both settings; if you'd like to use one across walls and floor, just ask and we'll point you to the right options.

How do I set out a pattern so it looks balanced?

We recommend dry-laying a section first and working from a central line, so the pattern stays symmetrical and any cut tiles fall evenly at the edges rather than as awkward slivers. For herringbone and chevron in particular, getting the starting angle right is key. An experienced tiler will give you the cleanest, best-aligned finish.

How many tiles should I order for a patterned layout?

Measure your area, then add a little more than usual for wastage — around 10% for brick-bond and up to 15% for herringbone, chevron or diagonal designs, which involve more cuts. Ordering everything together from one batch keeps colour consistent. Our team is always happy to check your quantities before you order.

Can I order a sample before I commit?

Yes — shape, scale and finish are best judged in your own space and light. We offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted for a small postage charge, and you're very welcome to visit the showroom to see full tiles and talk through your layout with our team.

Herringbone Tiles

Our herringbone tiles let you create one of the most timeless and elegant of all tile layouts — rectangular tiles set in an interlocking zig-zag that adds movement and craftsmanship to floors and walls. Beautiful in wood-effect, stone-effect and classic ceramic finishes.

A Layout Full of Character

The herringbone pattern brings instant interest, whether as a wood-effect porcelain floor that mimics traditional parquet, a stone-effect hallway, or a striking feature wall. The angled, interlocking arrangement draws the eye and suits both period and contemporary interiors.

Setting Out and Suitability

Herringbone involves more cuts than a straight layout, so it rewards careful setting-out from a central line and, ideally, an experienced tiler — allow a little extra for wastage. Suitability for floors, walls and wet areas depends on the tile's material, finish and slip rating, shown on each product page.

Free Samples and Showroom Support

Finish and colour are best judged in person. We offer free cut samples to collect from our Ascot showroom or posted for a small postage charge, and our team can help you plan your layout and quantities.
