Wide Chevron Flooring
Wide chevron flooring is a modern interpretation of traditional parquet design. Instead of using narrow boards, wide chevron floors use larger planks cut at an angle to create a bold V-shaped pattern.
The larger board size creates a more open appearance and allows the natural grain of the wood to stand out more clearly.
Wide chevron flooring is particularly popular in modern interiors and open-plan homes where the larger pattern scale works well with larger spaces.
What Is Wide Chevron Flooring?
Chevron flooring is created by cutting boards at an angle so that when installed they form a continuous V-shaped pattern.
Wide chevron flooring simply uses larger boards to create the same design.
This produces:
a larger pattern scale
fewer joints across the floor
a more contemporary appearance

Engineered vs Solid Chevron Flooring
Most wide chevron flooring is manufactured as engineered flooring because wider boards require greater stability.
Engineered Chevron Flooring
Engineered chevron boards combine a real oak wear layer with a plywood core, helping to reduce movement caused by humidity changes.
Solid Chevron Flooring
Solid chevron boards are available but are less common in wider formats because solid wood tends to move more.

Where Wide Chevron Flooring Works Best
Wide chevron flooring suits interiors where a bold flooring pattern is desired.
It works particularly well in:
open plan living areas
modern kitchens
large hallways
contemporary homes
The large V-shaped pattern creates a strong visual feature across the floor.
Installation Considerations
Chevron flooring requires precise installation to maintain the continuous V pattern.
Installers typically begin by establishing a centre line and working outward to keep the pattern symmetrical.
Because the boards are cut at angles, chevron flooring often requires more careful planning than standard plank flooring.
