Herringbone wood flooring is the traditional style or pattern for laying parquet blocks. The blocks of flooring are a lot smaller than usual flooring planks and have been designed to create the distinctive 'herringbone' zig zag pattern. You will fit the blocks of flooring together to provide a staggered zig zag pattern. The ends of the planks are left at a 90 degree angle so you will stagger the pattern instead of creating a 'V' shape.

Chevron wood flooring will give you a lovely chevron or 'V' pattern. It has been designed specifically to create this style of flooring when installed. The individual planks of flooring are much shorter and generally narrower than usual planks. The ends have been cut at a 45 degree angle so that the chevron pattern can be created, where the planks come together into a point.
The key difference between the two styles of flooring is the following:
Both chevron and herringbone can be found in different species of wood with different surface finishes. They will both offer you a timeless and classic look and are becoming much more popular again.
