Professional glue-down installation creates traditional herringbone pattern.

The herringbone can be installed at different scales - single herringbone uses individual planks, whilst double herringbone creates larger-scale patterns for bigger spaces.
For exceptionally sophisticated installations, combine SM-KP160 herringbone with matching KP160 standard planks (915mm x 152mm) in coordinated layouts. Use herringbone as feature areas - dining rooms, hallways, living room centers, or entrance zones - with standard planks as borders or in adjacent spaces. This approach maximizes herringbone impact whilst controlling costs and creating bright golden acacia character throughout.
Create framed herringbone installations by surrounding the pattern with Karndean Design Strips. Use DS06 or DS07 wood strips in golden tones for coordinated wood-on-wood exotic parquet detailing.
