Single-plank herringbone
HerringB/ONE is a technology direction for avoiding A/B stock separation. Pattern samples and installation instructions remain essential.
Connection / i4F technologies For the trade
i4F click flooring.
Connection geometry, installation workflow and core construction belong in the same conversation. Explore i4F routes for rigid-core collections and single-plank herringbone.
Product knowledge01 / Understand
Turn a connection choice into a range.
i4F develops licensed flooring technologies. Click4U combines long-side angling with the 3L TripleLock short-side drop-lock route; HerringB/ONE addresses herringbone made with one panel type. These technologies solve different parts of the product brief.
A one-piece locking route and an additional-component route are different engineering concepts. The actual factory profile, board thickness and material strength must be reviewed together before making a programme decision.
Surface or bevel technologies are also distinct from the connection. A tile-look floor, grout-style appearance and locking system should each be specified explicitly rather than bundled under a single technology name.
Beyond the joint
Specify the bevel or grout-effect treatment separately from locking. The look, cleaning edges and board geometry need their own approval.
The buying decision02 / Specify
Specify the whole product.
A useful quotation starts with the construction and the intended market. These are the decisions we work through with your product team.
Prepare your specification ↗| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Locking route | Exact i4F technology and connection profile, checked for the chosen core. |
| Installation | Long-edge and short-edge engagement, sequence and tooling requirements. |
| Herringbone | One-panel route or the specified alternative; identify the supplied pattern system. |
| Presentation | Define permitted marks, carton references and installer documentation. |
i4F and HerringB/ONE are technology names of their respective rights holders. No universal licence or cross-range compatibility is implied.
Questions from product teams
A clearer
specification.
Does drop-lock mean every connection is identical?
No. Technology versions and production profiles vary. Evaluate the actual board, its approved installation method and the licence scope.
Can a grout-look treatment be added independently?
It is a separate specification decision, but feasibility depends on the complete construction, machining route and selected surface system.
