Mountville, Pa.— Parterre, a brand of AHF Products, introduced Ascendant LVT patterns, a selection of wood-grain products in herringbone and chevron patterns. The designs were inspired by patterns that date back to ancient Egypt and Rome, the company said.
Ideal for hospitality, retail, healthcare and corporate settings, the designs aim to eliminate high installation costs while also providing designers with more creativity and flexibility when it comes to commercial projects. Designers can install the classic herringbone or chevron patterns or make a unique statement by arranging planks in a non-traditional design, the brand said. “This offering is all about creating unique looks that can add interest to any commercial space,” said Ralph Grogan, vice president, Parterre.
The Ascendant offering features 3mm wood grain designs in each pre-cut pattern for floor installations. Each pattern comes in a selection of what Parterre calls its most popular wood grains, including rich walnuts, mid-tone woods and a variety of maple and oak options that offer variations in tone and color.

There are nine designs offered in herringbone and chevron cuts for a total of 18 different options. Each chevron floor plank is 4.25 x 17 x 3mm, and each herringbone floor plank measures 4 x 24 x 3mm. The herringbone designs also feature a .55mm micro bevel. The chevron designs feature a straight edge.
The nine wood grain flooring designs for both chevron and herringbone patterns use the glue-down installation method. Each individual plank is secured to the subfloor, making it the most durable and secure of all LVT flooring options, the brand said.
