Grey Herringbone Laminate Flooring

Grey Herringbone Laminate Flooring Definition

Grey Herringbone Laminate Flooring is a composite decorative flooring material manufactured with wood-based core, high-abrasion wear layer, and grey herringbone visual design. It is commonly used in commercial interiors requiring enhanced durability and modern aesthetics.

Technical Specifications & Performance Parameters

Structure & Material Composition

• Wear Layer：Melamine resin overlay with scratch resistance

• Decor Layer：Grey herringbone printed film with synchronous texture

• Core：High-density fiberboard (HDF) with moisture additives

• Backing：Balance layer prevents warping and deformation

• Locking System：Precision click joints for efficient installation

Manufacturing Process

1. Wood fibers preparation and defibration

2. HDF pressing with resin under high pressure and temperature

3. Decor layer lamination and texture embossing

4. CNC profiling to create herringbone locking edges

5. Dimensional inspection and moisture balance testing

6. Surface abrasion and click strength laboratory testing

7. Commercial-grade packaging and pallet protection

Industry Comparison Table

Application Scenarios (B2B Target)

• Retail stores, showrooms, boutiques

• Office renovation and coworking spaces

• Hotels, restaurant interiors, guest rooms

• Multifamily apartments and senior living

• Commercial real estate upgrades

Core Pain Points & Solutions

• Misalignment during herringbone layout →Use locking structure with directional guidance marks

• Heavy-traffic surface wear →Upgrade to AC5 wear layer specifications

• Moisture issues at entrances →Apply waterproof backing + sealing at edges

• Colour batch inconsistency →Implement batch coding and unified procurement

Risk Warnings & Mitigation

• Do not install in continuously wet environments

• Ensure subfloor flatness ≤2 mm per 2 meters

• Use qualified vapor barrier film over concrete slabs

• Allow acclimation of products ≥48 hours before installation

Procurement Selection Guide

1. Define traffic level and specify abrasion class (AC4/AC5)

2. Confirm herringbone compatibility—left & right planks included

3. Evaluate locking strength and machining precision via samples

4. Check emission standard certificates (E1/E0)

5. Verify pallet packaging and long-distance shipping protection

6. Request commercial project references from supplier

7. Ensure stable availability for large ongoing developments

Engineering Case Example

A 3,500 m² co-working office applied Grey Herringbone Laminate Flooring with AC5 wear grade. Installation duration reduced by 27% using engineered click-lock design. Post-use assessment indicated stable performance after 12 months with no visible joint opening or surface gloss loss, meeting high foot-traffic demands.
