Floor Shapes

    • The most common shape in the market, usually rectangular, with length and width selectable based on the aforementioned sizes.
  2. Herringbone/Fishbone Pattern:
    • These two floor shapes are achieved through specific installation methods, not the shape of the floor itself, but the effect after installation.
    • Herringbone pattern typically involves installing strip boards in a "V" shape to create a unique visual effect.
    • Fishbone pattern involves installing floor strips in a fishbone-like shape, also with a unique artistic effect.
  3. Parquet Flooring:
    • Special shapes are created on a single floor piece, which form larger patterns or designs when laid out.
    • Common parquet patterns include French Versailles-style patterns, suitable for French or British-style decor.
  4. Irregular-shaped Flooring:
    • Floors with irregular shapes can create unique visual effects, suitable for use as background walls or accents in partial spaces.
    • There are also regular irregular-shaped floors, such as hexagons, circles, etc., which can form large regular patterns.
Selection Suggestions
  1. Based on Decoration Style:
    • For a flooring installation that stands out visually, consider larger floor specifications such as 1.2m or 1.9m, which allow the floor texture to be fully displayed and create a more atmospheric and expressive installation.
    • Narrow and short boards are more suitable for herringbone, fishbone, and other fancy installation methods, adding a sense of hierarchy to the space and a vintage charm.
  2. Based on Room Size:
    • Smaller floor specifications are more suitable for bedrooms, small rooms, or small apartments, appearing delicate and three-dimensional, adding a sense of hierarchy to the space.
    • Larger floor specifications are suitable for large apartments, penthouses, and villas, creating a more spacious and luxurious appearance when laid continuously, with a cleaner and neater floor.
  3. Based on Budget:
    • For the same type of flooring, larger specifications tend to be more expensive. Therefore, when selecting floor sizes, consider your budget.
In summary, floor sizes and shapes are diverse, and choices should be made based on the usage scenario, decoration style, and personal preferences. By making reasonable selections and combinations, a beautiful and practical home environment can be created.
