Assess Your Interior Style

Before choosing chevron wood flooring, evaluate your interior style and overall aesthetic. Chevron floors can complement a range of design themes, from traditional to contemporary. Consider the existing décor, colour palette, and furniture in your space. Choose chevron flooring that harmonises with your overall design vision, whether you prefer a classic, rustic, or modern look.

Board Size and Proportions

Chevron flooring comes in 6 board sizes at 45° or 60° angles — and the right proportions can greatly impact the visual effect of the pattern.

• Larger rooms generally benefit from wider and longer boards: 12×140×850mm, 12×140×820mm, 12×140×690mm, 12×140×660mm
• Smaller spaces work better with narrower boards: 12×140×550mm, 12×140×520mm

Take measurements of your room and consider the scale of the chevron pattern to achieve the desired effect. Also consider the direction of the pattern in relation to the room's layout — running the V towards the main light source or entrance typically gives the best result.

Quality and Durability

Investing in high-quality chevron wood flooring ensures longevity and durability.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation is crucial for achieving a flawless chevron pattern. It is recommended to hire experienced professionals who specialise in chevron flooring installation to ensure precise alignment and a seamless result. Discuss installation techniques, adhesive options, and subfloor requirements with the installer before starting.

Additionally, enquire about the maintenance needs of your chosen floor, including recommended cleaning products and periodic maintenance procedures. See our wood floor maintenance guide for full care instructions.
