If you are looking to renovate your home this season, there is one excellent tiling design that you might want to look at - the herringbone pattern. This artistic and scientific arrangement of rectangles was prevalent in ancient Egyptian rugs. They have risen like a phoenix from the ashes in contemporary times, showing up everywhere, from tiling patterns to roadway pavement. The herringbone pattern can be constructed either out of rectangles or parallelograms and is usually made out of a single color. Ringbone flooring, also known as woodblock flooring, appears to be particularly popular with millennials since it is the favored flooring style in most new homes in fashionable neighborhoods today.

On the other hand, the herringbone pattern is considerably older than this most recent craze, having been utilized to build roads by the great Romans thousands of years ago. To create the herringbone pattern, each woodblock is cut into a perfect rectangle and then laid down in a broken zig-zag pattern, such that one side of each plank runs directly into and through the end other.A specific material provided by us was initially created for herringbone flooring.
