/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We install straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts in North Canaan, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Village Victorians suit herringbone, and farmhouses along Route 44 usually go with wide straight boards.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run alongside the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and a narrow farmhouse room looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turn at right angles in a zigzag, cut and fitted one by one, a period match for an old village dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board is mitered at 45 degrees, so rows close in a clean V, which flatters a kitchen that opens to the dining area.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks on the diagonal draw the eye across the room and make a small Canaan Village kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain make a parquet floor, a lasting choice for a study or an enclosed porch.
Basket Weave Parquet
Slim oak strips weave over and under with a dark border around the edge, right for the front hall of a village home.
