What it REALLY takes to fit herringbone like this π Save this for your next project.
1οΈβ£ Uplift the old floor: every tile up, nothing hidden underneath
2οΈβ£ Strip and sand back to a clean subfloor
3οΈβ£ Level with Kelmore screed. Nobody sees this step, but it's why the floor lasts
4οΈβ£ Fit the herringbone, border and design strip, every border piece cut by hand
Herringbone shows every flaw in the floor underneath, so the prep matters as much as the fit.
Product: J2 Timbers Naked Oak
Project: commercial reception, Liverpool
