Herringbone & Chevron FAQs

What is the difference between herringbone and chevron?

Herringbone uses rectangular blocks laid in a broken zigzag. Chevron blocks are cut at an angle so the ends meet point to point, creating continuous V shapes and a more directional look.

Should I choose solid, engineered, LVT or laminate?

Choose solid for maximum authenticity and refinishing potential, engineered for stability and underfloor heating suitability, LVT for waterproof, low maintenance performance, and laminate for great value and quick fitting.

Can I use these patterns with underfloor heating?

Yes for engineered, LVT and many laminate ranges within the manufacturer’s limits. Solid wood is generally not recommended over underfloor heating due to movement.

Which options are suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

LVT is the best choice thanks to its waterproof surface. Selected laminate ranges offer water-resistant ratings for kitchens. Wood floors are not recommended for bathrooms and need careful care in kitchens.

Is click fitting available for herringbone and chevron?

Yes. Several engineered, laminate and LVT ranges offer click systems for faster fitting. Traditional tongue and groove can also be floated or glued down.

How do I choose the right block size?

Smaller rooms suit shorter and narrower blocks for balanced proportions. Larger spaces can take longer and wider blocks for a grander effect.
