Chevron Flooring

Chevron flooring is a distinctive and elegant style of hardwood flooring that is characterized by its V-shaped pattern.

This pattern is created by cutting the hardwood planks at a 45-degree angle and then placing them in a way that forms a continuous zigzag design. The result is a visually striking and sophisticated floor surface that adds a touch of timeless charm to any space. Chevron flooring is often confused with herringbone flooring, which has a similar pattern but is laid in a staggered, broken zigzag fashion. The key difference lies in the continuous and uninterrupted flow of the chevron pattern, providing a sense of continuity and fluidity.

This style of flooring has a rich history, with origins dating back to the 17th century in France. The term “chevron” itself refers to a type of heraldic shield with a V-shaped pattern, and this design was later adapted for use in flooring to create a luxurious and upscale aesthetic. Chevron flooring is popular in both traditional and modern interiors, offering a versatile and timeless appeal. It can be found in a variety of wood species, finishes, and colors, allowing homeowners and designers to customise the look to suit their individual tastes and the overall design scheme of the space.
