For installers, the random method is the most convenient. Typically, they lay three rows at a time. After completing those rows, they use the leftover pieces to start the next three rows. This sequence creates a pattern of irregular lengths, but the gaps aren\u2019t too wide. The final look resembles steps or gentle waves\u2014so it\u2019s a controlled randomness.<br \/>\nTrue random installation requires laying each row with planks of varying lengths to create a genuinely irregular pattern.\nHowever, this needs to be clearly communicated to the installer in advance, because this approach takes more time than what installers typically understand as \u201crandom.\u201d As a result, labor costs will also be higher.<br \/>\nMaterial wastage: 10%<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2184 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/47.129.100.207\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random.jpg?v=1700782075 400w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random-300x300.jpg?v=1700782075 300w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random-150x150.jpg?v=1700782075 150w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random-247x247.jpg?v=1700782075 247w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/random-100x100.jpg?v=1700782075 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Running Bond Installation (Offset Pattern)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis method involves laying each row so that the joints are offset\u2014usually by half the length of the plank\u2014creating a brick-like or staggered appearance.

It creates a dynamic and visually striking effect, often used to make spaces feel larger or more unique. However, diagonal installation is more labor-intensive and results in higher material wastage.<br \/>\nIn irregularly shaped interior spaces (such as diamond-shaped units), installers will treat both vertical and horizontal installations as diagonal installation methods.<br \/>\nMaterial wastage: 13%-15%<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2185 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/47.129.100.207\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal.jpg?v=1700782076 400w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal-300x300.jpg?v=1700782076 300w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal-150x150.jpg?v=1700782076 150w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal-247x247.jpg?v=1700782076 247w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/diagonal-100x100.jpg?v=1700782076 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Herringbone Pattern<\/strong><br \/>\nThis method requires SPC flooring specifically manufactured for herringbone installation.\nIt\u2019s a more classical and traditional parquet style.

The corners of SPC planks are the most fragile parts and cannot withstand much pressure. As a result, the four-corner joints are prone to damage under stress, which significantly affects the flooring\u2019s durability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2188 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/47.129.100.207\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid.jpg?v=1700782076 400w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid-300x300.jpg?v=1700782076 300w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid-150x150.jpg?v=1700782076 150w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid-247x247.jpg?v=1700782076 247w, https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grid-100x100.jpg?v=1700782076 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>p.s. \u5982\u679c\u4f60\u5c0d\u92ea\u6cd5\u6709\u8981\u6c42\u7684\u8a71\uff0c\u6700\u597d\u4e0a\u7db2\u63fe\u5572\u76f8\u518d\u540c\u5e2b\u50b3\u6e9d\u901a\u6e05\u695a\uff0c\u56e0\u70ba\u6bcf\u500b\u5e2b\u5085\u5c0d\u92ea\u6cd5\u6709\u4e0d\u540c\u7406\u89e3\uff0c\u53e6\u5916\u5c31\u662f\u6bcf\u7a2e\u92ea\u6cd5\u4eba\u5de5\u53ca\u640d\u8017\u91cf\u90fd\u5514\u540c\u3002<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7b2c\u4e00\u7a2e\uff1a\u4e82\u5de5 (Random, Strip) \u6700\u591a\u4eba\u7528\u7684\u5730\u677f\u92ea\u6cd5\uff0c\u8996\u89ba\u4e0a\u6700\u81ea\u7136\uff0c\u4ea6\u662f\u6700\u5c11\u6750\u6599\u640d\u8017\u5ea6\u548c\u4eba\u5de5\u3002\u5c0d\u65bc [&#8230;]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[108,109,110],"class_list":["post-2181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-29","tag-spc","tag-109","tag-110"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2181"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2190,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2181\/revisions\/2190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lookflooring.com.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
