Elégance by adler 600: trendy herringbone installation
Two-layer parquet strip for the classical herringbone installation
The herringbone installation of parquet floors has currently come back into fashion and is encouraged in many of today's lifestyle magazines. The typical feature of this installation technique is the recurring pattern, which recalls the pattern of bones on the spine of a fish. Parquet strips of identical size are installed with their ends positioned at right angles to each other. This produces an interesting visual effect, which breaks up the light on the parquet strips. This classic parquet design combines well both with modern and with traditional lifestyles.
In order to respond to this continuing trend, we have developed the two-layer Elegance by adler 600 strip in oak and walnut. This elegant short parquet strip has very balanced dimensions of 600x100x10 mm, which results in a well-proportioned, soothing, elegant appearance. The good size of 600x100 mm can also inspire to install other patterns like squares. The core construction comprises high quality, massive spruce strips. All the planks are bevelled and the surface is machine wire brushed or smooth depending on the wood specie.
Colour palette for our herring bone plank Elégance by adler 600
We offer as standard three different shades, which are all processed with our high quality, oxidatively cured NATURA+ oil treatment. On request other the other colours in our Villa by adler product palette are available with the exception of the hand scraped versions.
The images can only give an impression of the colours and structures of the actual wooden flooring and are not binding, since wood is a natural product and the colours are therefore dependent on the structure and the properties of the wood.

More detailed information on this is available under About Parquet / NATURA+.
Wood is a natural product. Differences in the substances in the wood and the wood grain can lead to colour deviations in colour treated surfaces. These differences in colour can also occur between different product batches, as well as within a single product batch. This applies in particular to coloured surfaces, since the smoking, staining, lyes and the application of colour pigments can cause variations in shades because of the structure of the wood. However, this is a mark of authenticity for wood as a natural product.
This short Elegance by adler 600 plank is two-layer and must be installed by the total glue down method.
By virtue of this construction and the low overall thickness, the thermal resistance of this multi-layer plank is approx. 0.079 - 090 m²k / W (pursuant to EN14342). This makes it ideal for installation on a hot water based underfloor heating system.
A maximum temperature of the subfloor of 23°C – 28°C should not be exceeded. Please consult our About Parquet installation instructions for the precise guidelines on installation on underfloor heating systems in the Download field and the information in About Parquet.
So that you have a lot of enjoyment of your multi-layer parquet, you must give it the appropriate care.
You should also ensure that you have a healthy indoor climate, not just for your parquet, which consists of wood, a living natural substance, but also for yourself. This means a relative air humidity of approx. 40 – 60% and a pleasant room temperature of 19 – 22°C.
If the air humidity and temperature drop below these reference values, this may cause great harm to you wooden floor.
If required, we can also produce this herring bone parquet flooring as a 100% PEFC certified product. If sufficient FSC® certified wood available, we also can offer a FSC® certified parquet.
