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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
