Herringbone is a classic laying pattern with a long tradition – and is right on trend once again. No wonder, as parquet flooring brings ele-gance and naturalness into every room at the same time.

In addition to well-known floor types such as parquet and laminate, there are always innovations - such as the modern so-called "rigid" floors, which are easy to care for, easy to lay and hard-wearing at the same time. They also impress with their mo-dern and natural decors.

You have probably heard of the saying “Design follows function”, sometimes ironically altered to “Function follows design”.

Here, they are matched precisely, providing a doubly effective design element for every space. And it gets even better: this elegant, functional product is also sustainable.
