Chevron · The look

Chevron parquet in engineered oak: two Knightsbridge boards with the ends cut at an angle. One natural brushed and matt lacquered, one raw oak with an invisible UV oil, both 14 mm by 90 mm by 510 mm with a 3 mm wear layer and listed as compatible with underfloor heating.

The continuous line
Chevron boards meet end to end on a straight line, so the floor reads as a run of unbroken V shapes. The pattern is calmer and more formal than herringbone, and it points the eye down the room, which lengthens a narrow space.
Two tones, two finishes
Natural Brushed is European oak with a matt lacquer, the warm, conventional oak colour. Raw Oak is finished with an invisible UV oil, formulated to keep the pale, sanded look of bare timber. They are the two ends of the natural oak palette in one pattern.
Heated floors, yes
Both boards are listed as compatible with underfloor heating. For the same pattern in solid oak, the answer would be no; the engineered core is what makes chevron over heating possible.
Is chevron harder to lay than herringbone?
It is less forgiving. Because the angled ends meet on a continuous line, any error in the angle or the set-out shows as a step along that line; herringbone's staggered joints hide the same error. A fitter who has laid chevron before is worth insisting on.
Which of the two chevron boards is the paler?
Raw Oak is the paler chevron board. Its invisible UV oil is formulated not to add the amber tone a conventional finish gives, so it stays close to the colour of sanded oak. Natural Brushed has a matt lacquer and reads as the warmer, conventional oak colour.
How much should I order for a chevron floor?
Order more than for planks, because each row of a chevron floor is angled at both walls. The manufacturer guidance we could verify quotes a higher wastage allowance for patterned floors than for planks; it is quoted below and it is a manufacturer figure, not a standard.
How do I order the right amount?
Use the calculator on any product page and allow the higher pattern waste factor; our team can sanity-check your measurements before you order.
Can I get a sample first?
Yes, samples from £1.99 delivered to your door, so you can see the block size and finish in your own light.

The pattern

What chevron parquet is

Chevron is the parquet pattern where every block is cut at an angle at both ends, so the rows meet on one continuous line and read as a run of unbroken V shapes. It is often confused with herringbone; the difference is the cut, and it changes both the look and the ordering.

Definition. Blocks cut at an angle at both ends so they meet point to point, producing a continuous unbroken V.

In depth

Choosing engineered chevron

The two Knightsbridge chevron boards are the same board in two colours. Each is 14 mm thick, 90 mm wide and 510 mm long with the ends cut at an angle, a 3 mm European oak wear layer over an engineered core, tongue and groove, micro-bevelled, Classic grade, brushed, and carries a 15 year manufacturer's warranty. Both are listed as compatible with underfloor heating. The box covers a little under three quarters of a square metre, which is worth knowing when working out how many to order for a patterned floor.

The choice between them is a choice of tone. Natural Brushed carries a matt lacquer over the warm, conventional oak colour; Raw Oak carries an invisible UV oil formulated to keep the pale, dry look of freshly sanded timber. Because chevron shows the run of boards as continuous lines, colour variation across the pattern is more visible than in a plank floor; order samples of both and lay them next to each other in the room's own light.

Chevron is the less forgiving of the two parquet patterns to lay. The angled ends meet on a straight line down the room, and any drift in that line shows; herringbone's staggered joints hide the same drift. The set-out starts from the centre line, the first rows decide everything, and a fitter who has laid chevron before is the single most useful specification on the order.

For the same look in a broader, calmer pattern, the Versailles panels are the next step up in scale; for the busier, more traditional pattern, the Oxford herringbone blocks come in the same tones with two block sizes.
