Chipboard Alternative

What Is Chipboard Alternative?

This range of premium panels mimics high-grade chipboard with herringbone patterns and contemporary metallic finishes, and is used as a floor or wall alternative in projects that call for a higher level of finish than standard parquet.

Why Is the Price Higher Than Regular Parquet?

The price difference comes from the thicker, more scratch-resistant top layer, the precision needed for the herringbone pattern - which requires 45-degree angled cuts instead of plain rectangular planks - and the wider range of shades such as light grey, beige, dark brown and metal.

Installation Method

Laying a herringbone pattern demands more precision in cutting and alignment than straight parquet, so it is best to use a fitter who specialises in this pattern to keep the angles consistent and avoid gaps between pieces.

Where Is It Used?

It is most often used in main living rooms, premium offices and villa entrances, where the visual design of the floor is a core part of the overall impression.

Chipboard Alternative vs. Regular Parquet

If the budget allows and the goal is a distinctive, non-standard look, chipboard alternative in a herringbone pattern gives a visual depth that straight parquet cannot. If cost and speed are the priority, standard parquet is the more practical choice.
