Unizip, One-panel Herringbone

Herringbone is a popular pattern for its unique and trendy look and has made a comeback in the flooring industry. The installation of a herringbone pattern however has one big downside: you normally need two types of panels – left and right or A/B panels which are mirror images of each other – to be able to lay this flooring pattern.

The Unizip technology solves this inconvenience. Unilin invented a locking profile that makes it possible to lay a herringbone floor with only one type of panel. The Unizip profile positions the tongue and groove around the panel in such a way that the short side of the panel can be locked into the long side of the adjacent panel, without having to compromise on locking strength. Unizip is available for all main types of flooring.

The installation method for the floating Unizip panels is very easy. The long sides of the panel can be angled into the adjacent panel. The short sides of the panel need to be snapped in the long sides of the next panel. You only need one type of panel to lay this herringbone pattern.
