Herringbone wood flooring is the conventional style or pattern for laying parquet blocks. The blocks of flooring are much smaller than usual flooring planks and have been designed to create the unique 'herringbone' zigzag pattern. You will fit the blocks of flooring together to provide a staggered zigzag pattern. The end of the planks are left at a 90 degree angle so you will stagger the pattern rather than make a 'V' shape.

Chevron wood flooring will provide you an attractive 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 typically narrower than typical planks. The ends have been cut at a 45 degree angle so that the chevron pattern can be made, where the planks come together into a point.
The main difference between the two styles of flooring is the following:
Both chevron and herringbone can be found in various species of wood with different surface finishes. They will both provide you a timeless and classic appearance and are becoming more and more popular again.
