QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does herringbone tiling take longer to install?

Herringbone requires four times as many individual cuts along perimeters and exacting 45-degree setting-out to prevent pattern drift.

Can herringbone be fitted on both walls and floors?

Yes! Herringbone looks stunning as a kitchen splashback, shower feature wall, or entrance hallway floor.
