    What is chevron flooring?

    Chevron flooring is a visually distinctive style of flooring which follows a V-shape pattern.

The specific pattern is created by laying the individual pieces in right-angled rows forming straight lines of zigzag shapes with overlapping edges. Historically, beautiful chevron-style floors and have been meticulously designed using richly textured timbers such as oak, cherry, mahogany and walnut.

    Along with the similar herringbone flooring style seen in Carpet Court’s Masterpieces collection, the striking chevron design features in seven vibrant colours and textures.
