ACCESS WOOD FLOORING · NORTH SHORE
Herringbone, Chevron and Custom Wood Floor Patterns
A patterned floor turns a foyer, a dining room or an entire level into a centerpiece. Access Wood Flooring installs custom layouts — herringbone, chevron, borders and medallions — for homeowners in Winnetka, Lake Forest, Glencoe and across the North Shore.
Layout
Plan the pattern, direction and borders.
Precision
Cut and fit each piece on site.
One finish
Sand and finish the floor as one surface.
01 / CUSTOM FLOOR PATTERNS
Herringbone and Chevron
Herringbone and chevron layouts set short boards at an angle to create a zigzag that adds movement and depth to a room.
We plan the starting point and direction around your rooms, doorways and sightlines so the pattern lines up where you see it most.
02 / CUSTOM FLOOR PATTERNS
Borders and Medallions
A border frames a room or follows a hallway; a medallion marks the center of a foyer or a dining room.
Combining wood species and stain colors creates contrast, as in the custom inlay with a Greek key border shown here.
03 / CUSTOM FLOOR PATTERNS
Finished Together With the Rest of Your Floors
Patterned floors are sanded and finished on site with commercial-grade finishes such as Bona Traffic HD or Loba Supra A.T., so the whole floor has one even surface.
We can coordinate a pattern with new or refinished floors and with the stairs elsewhere in your home.

(847) 781-0100Which woods work for herringbone and chevron?
Red oak and white oak are the most common choices. We discuss species, board size and stain during your consultation.
Does a patterned floor take longer to install?
Yes. Each piece is cut and fitted on site, so a custom layout takes longer than a straight installation. Your written estimate includes the approximate start date and duration.
Can a border or medallion be combined with my existing floor?
We assess your existing floor during the free estimate and explain how a border or medallion could be combined with it and refinished to match.
