Pure Woods herringbone flooring is recommended for installation by experienced DIYers or professional installers due to the precision required to achieve a balanced pattern. Please ensure all guidance below is followed to achieve the best possible result and maintain product performance.

Preparing for Installation

• Acclimatisation
  Keep the flooring in its unopened packaging in the room of installation for a minimum of 48 hours before fitting. This allows the boards to adjust naturally to temperature and humidity levels.
• Room conditions
  The room must be fully enclosed, dry, and heated where required. Maintain a stable temperature and normal household humidity levels before, during, and after installation.
• Subfloor requirements
  Subfloors must be dry, clean, solid, and level. Uneven areas must be corrected prior to installation, as herringbone patterns require a particularly flat surface for best results. The floor can be installed over most hard subfloors once these conditions are met.
• Pre-installation checks
  All wet trades such as plastering, painting, or screeding must be completed and fully dry before installation begins.

Installation Method – Herringbone (Tongue & Groove System)

Pure Woods herringbone flooring uses a precision tongue-and-groove joint system. Depending on subfloor type and site conditions, boards are typically glued down using a suitable flexible wood flooring adhesive. Always follow adhesive manufacturer guidance.

Recommended tools:

• Tape measure and pencil
  • Set square or chalk line (for accurate centre lines)
  • Saw (hand or electric)
  • Tapping block
  • Pull bar
  • Notched trowel (for adhesive application)
  • Suitable wood flooring adhesive

Installation Overview

1. Prepare the subfloor
   Ensure the subfloor is clean, level, and dry. If glue-down installation is required, select an appropriate flexible adhesive.
2. Plan the layout carefully
   Herringbone installation requires accurate setting out. Find and mark the centre line of the room using a chalk line. Establish a straight starting line to ensure the pattern remains balanced and symmetrical.
3. Create a starting triangle (zig-zag row)
   Assemble several boards together to form the first herringbone “zig-zag” section. This starter row must be perfectly straight, as it sets the alignment for the entire floor.
4. Begin installation
   Apply adhesive to a manageable area using a notched trowel. Lay the first assembled section carefully along your guideline. Continue building the herringbone pattern outward from the centre line or starting wall, ensuring each board is tightly fitted.
5. Maintain expansion gaps
   Leave an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room and around fixed objects such as pipes or door frames.
6. Check alignment regularly
   Frequently check that the pattern remains square and aligned. Small adjustments early on will prevent larger issues later.
7. Cut perimeter boards to fit
   Measure and cut boards accurately to fit edges while maintaining the required expansion gap.
8. Finishing touches
   Allow adhesive to cure fully as per manufacturer guidance before fitting skirting boards or trims to conceal expansion gaps.
