Parquet or herringbone: what the names mean
Herringbone is a zigzag pattern, where each block sits at a right angle to the next. Parquet is the name for the small blocks that make patterns like it. Amtico's laying sheet shows the parquet blocks in its Large Parquet and Small Parquet patterns.
For the classic herringbone zigzag, Amtico's sheet lists Herringbone Plank. It uses the longer boards on our wood plank page (184 x 1219 mm) and our stripwood page (102 x 914 mm). The same 63 colours are on all of these pages.

Large block or small block?
The small block repeats its pattern many times in a short space. It suits a hall, a bathroom or a small kitchen, where you want the pattern to read. The large block shows more of each board. It suits a living room or an open plan space. Both are wood effect only.

How much to buy
A pack covers 2.5 m² and holds 54 large blocks or 144 small ones. Pattern floors waste more in cutting than a straight lay, so allow 15%.
Worked example, a 10 m² room: add 15% for 11.5 m². Divide by 2.5 and you get 4.6, so you need 5 packs. That is 12.5 m², or 270 large blocks or 720 small ones. The flooring calculator does this for any room.
Choosing a colour
There are 63 colours, from pale ash to black walnut. A pale colour in a small block gives a quiet, even look. A dark colour makes the pattern stand out. Our guide to herringbone laying patterns shows how the lay changes the look.

A large block pack holds 54 blocks. A small block pack holds 144. Each pack covers 2.5 m².

Yes. Amtico Click Smart has six parquet floors, 114 x 610 mm and 6 mm thick. The parquet on this page is glue down.
