The 6x24 herringbone pattern lays a wide plank-format tile at a 90° angle to itself, producing a bold, large-scale zigzag — a current trend among wood-look herringbone layouts for those who want the pattern's visual movement without the smaller, busier joints of 2x8 or 4x12 herringbone.

About the 6x24 Herringbone Pattern
As plank-format wood-look tile grew wider, 6x24 emerged as a large-scale herringbone option, giving the pattern a bolder, more graphic presence than traditional parquet-scale herringbone sizes.
The format has grown in popularity on statement floors and feature walls, where designers want the visual energy of herringbone at a scale that reads clearly from a distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 6x24 herringbone a common size?
It's a growing trend rather than a traditional standard — most classic herringbone installations use smaller tile like 2x8, but 6x24 has become popular for bold, large-scale statement floors and walls.
How much waste should I allow for 6x24 herringbone?
Allow more than for a straight layout — typically 15-20% — to cover the angled cuts herringbone requires at room edges, with a bit more caution for larger, harder-to-cut pieces.
Can herringbone tile be laid at 45 degrees with 6x24 tile?
Yes — the 90° angle between tiles that defines herringbone is separate from the optional 45° rotation of the whole pattern relative to the room, and both can be applied to 6x24 tile just as with smaller sizes.
Is 6x24 herringbone good for small rooms?
It can visually overwhelm a small room due to the large scale of each tile and the zigzag joints; large-format herringbone like 6x24 tends to work best in more spacious areas.
