Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chevron floor?

A Chevron floor is a floor installed in a pattern of parallel rectangular floorboards placed at an angle of 60 degrees or 45 degrees. This gives a slightly more subtle effect than a herringbone pattern. The chevron floor in particular at an angle of 60 degrees gives the floor a more modern look.

What is the origin of the chevron pattern?

The origin of the chevron motif is unclear. The pattern appears on earthenware pots around 1800 BC in Greece and in textiles. In the medieval heraldry of Normandy, this pattern appears on shields of knights and later on arms of uniforms to indicate rank.

The English term 'chevron' refers to the Latin word 'caprio' which means 'trusses'. A roof truss is two roof beams that together form a point and support the roof structure.

The chevron parquet floor was used approximately 2 centuries later than the herringbone floor, around the 16th century. The Queen's Waiting Room at the Palace of Versailles features chevron parquet and since then the popularity of this pattern has increased.

What are the advantages of a chevron floor?

A chevron floor gives a luxurious and modern classic look to an interior. The pattern provides a spatial effect and is timeless. In addition, it is easy to combine with different interior styles.

How much sawing loss with a chevron floor?

When installing a Chevron floor, some of the floorboards are lost, this is also called sawing loss . Each floor section must be sawn to form 45 or 60 degree angles.
In addition, the cutting loss also depends on whether the floor is installed with or without a belt. A chevron floor without a belt has a cutting loss of approximately 15%. The variant with band has a sawing loss of 10% on the pattern and 5% on the band.

Is a chevron floor suitable for underfloor heating ?

Yes, a chevron floor in the form of engineered wood flooring is suitable for underfloor heating . When using underfloor heating as main heating, you must ensure a minimum insulation value of the home energy label: B.

What types of chevron floors are there?

Chevron wooden floors are available in the following types:

  • Tapis parquet: This is the classic installation form. where the floor parts consist of loose planks that have no tongues or grooves and are glued and nailed to the subfloor.
  • Solid wooden floor: This floor consists of sawn floorboards from one piece of wood. The floorboards therefore have no underlays, but consist entirely of hardwood. Oak solid floorboards in particular are used.
  • Engineered floors: This is a layered parquet floor with a top layer of hardwood (often oak) and underlayers of cross-glued birch plywood.

Oak engineered wood is the most sold, because engineered floors can be easily combined with underfloor heating and is less expensive than tapis parquet or solid floors. Oak wood is one of the most durable wood species with excellent properties for use as a floor.

What is the difference between a herringbone floor and chevron floor?

The chevron floor is a brother of the herringbone floor, but there is a difference: the installation pattern. With the herringbone floor, the left and right parts are placed against each other at an angle of 90 degrees. At the top, the end side is perpendicular to the long side of the plank next to it.

Especially with wide herringbone floorboards, the room gets a unique atmosphere: classic with a modern twist. A herringbone floor looks a bit busier than a chevron floor due to the quirky zigzag pattern that is visible at the end of the parts.

Place chevron floors at 45 or 60 degrees?

A chevron floor is installed by placing the parts at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees instead of perpendicular to each other. The angle is determined in advance and applied to the ends of the parts in the planing mill. Installing a chevron floor is specialist work. That is why it is wise to hire an experienced professional.

You can install this patterned floor at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees and both variants create a continuous V-shape. At an angle of 60 degrees, the 'sergeant stripe' version, the 'wave effect' of the chevron pattern is wider, calmer and less sharp. This makes the floor look more modern.

The 45 degree version looks more like a herringbone floor and is slightly more 'present' to the eye. This is in line with the more classic image of a chevron floor variant.

Which angle you choose depends on the effect you want to create and the dimensions of the room. In addition, you can accentuate the track width more or less with large or small plank sizes .

How much does a chevron wooden floor cost?

What is more beautiful: herringbone or chevron pattern?

That is a matter of personal taste and interior design.

This pattern with a unique appearance can be combined well with modern, minimalist furnished spaces.

What is more expensive: herringbone or chevron floor?

In general chevron floors are somewhat more expensive than herringbone floors. The difference in costs is in the amount of labor time and sawing loss to produce chevron floorboards.

The floorboards are placed at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees and connect at the top. To achieve this, each floor section must be sawn in these corners to fit neatly at the top. Herringbone floorboards do not need to be sawn. The planks are placed against each other at a 90 degree angle, so no sawing is required, except for walls or the belt.

Furthermore, the costs depend on the wood specie , plank thickness and width and the (colour) finish of the floor. The choices here influence the price.

How should I clean and maintain a wooden floor?

A wooden floor is best cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or soft broom and a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. It is important to maintain the floor regularly by oiling it. With a normal living room area and household use, this is necessary approximately once every 4.5 years.
