Timeless Sophistication with Dynamic Movement


The Herringbone pattern is one of the most elegant and recognizable flooring layouts. By installing carpet planks at a 90-degree angle, this pattern creates a distinctive zig-zag effect that instantly adds movement and visual interest to a space.


 Ashlar / Brick Pattern


Clean, Modern, and Professionally Balanced


Ashlar is a contemporary installation method where carpet planks are laid in parallel rows with a subtle offset. The result is a clean and structured appearance that feels organized without looking repetitive.

This layout is highly popular in modern workplaces because it balances professionalism with visual comfort. The staggered arrangement softens long straight lines while maintaining a polished and cohesive look throughout the space.






Quarter-Turn Square Pattern


Dynamic, Bold, and Architecturally Striking


The Basket Weave or Quarter-Turn Square layout is a clever installation method where rectangular carpet planks are grouped together to mimic the look of classic, large square tiles. By changing the direction of the planks by 90 degrees with each adjacent section, you create a distinct woven grid across the floor.

This pattern is highly effective for open-plan corporate spaces, wide corridors, and design-forward offices. By playing with light reflection and grain direction, the alternating sections form a large-scale geometric pattern that breaks up expansive floors, adding impressive texture and architectural depth without overwhelming the room.

Random Layout


Creative Freedom with Natural Visual Texture


The Random pattern embraces flexibility by allowing carpet planks to be installed in multiple directions. This creates a more organic and less uniform appearance, resulting in a floor that feels dynamic, modern, and unique.

Beyond aesthetics, Random layouts are also highly practical. The varied installation helps disguise wear patterns, footprints, and minor stains, making it an excellent choice for busy commercial spaces where durability and appearance are equally important.
