Home / Chevron Flooring

Chevron Flooring

Chevron flooring creates a continuous arrow or V-shape pattern where all boards point in the same direction. Unlike herringbone, each board is cut at a precise angle so they meet perfectly at the apex — giving a sharper, more contemporary look. Our engineered oak chevron range is suitable for underfloor heating and available to view at our Forest Hill showroom.

Sharp, Modern Look

The unbroken V-pattern of chevron flooring creates a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic than herringbone — popular in modern and Scandinavian interiors.

Precision Craftsmanship

Each board is cut at a consistent angle so the pattern lines up perfectly across the room — a mark of quality installation.

UFH Compatible

Our engineered chevron boards have a stable plywood core suitable for use over underfloor heating systems.

Contemporary Chevron in Engineered Oak

Chevron’s continuous V-pattern brings a sharp, modern geometry that has become a signature of high-end interiors. Each board is cut at a precise angle so the points meet in unbroken lines running down the room — a cleaner look than the broken zig-zag of herringbone.

Our chevron range is engineered oak with a stable core suitable for underfloor heating, brushed and finished for everyday durability. Like herringbone it rewards careful, experienced installation, and the result becomes the centrepiece of the space. Samples and full boards can be viewed at our Forest Hill showroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What angle are chevron boards cut at?

Most chevron is cut at 45°, though 60° is also used. The consistent angle is what creates the clean, continuous point down the floor.

Is chevron or herringbone more modern?

Chevron’s unbroken V is generally seen as the more contemporary of the two patterns; herringbone reads more classic and traditional.

What is the difference between chevron and herringbone flooring?

Chevron boards are cut at an angle and meet at a point to create a continuous arrow. Herringbone boards are cut square and overlap at 90°, creating a broken zigzag. Chevron is generally considered the more contemporary of the two patterns.

Is chevron flooring harder to install than straight planks?

Yes — chevron requires precise cutting and careful layout to ensure the pattern is centred and the angles line up. It’s typically installed by experienced fitters and costs more than straight plank installation.

What room sizes suit chevron flooring?

Chevron works well in larger rooms where the full pattern can be appreciated. It can also work beautifully in hallways when running the length of the space.
