A Chevron wood floor is one where the floorboards are laid out in a Chevron pattern. The ends of each board are cut at an angle so that when two boards meet, they form a perfect V shape. When the Chevron pattern flows across an entire floor, it produces a long string of arrows and a zigzag appearance.
Herringbone and Chevron patterns feature shorter floorboards laid out at angles, there are key differences in the way the planks are cut and installed.
A Herringbone floor is made with rectangular planks all cut to the same size. Each plank is laid out at 90° from another, creating a kind of broken zigzag pattern that is prized for its asymmetry. A Herringbone floor has a great deal of visual movement and can help to make smaller spaces seem larger.
In contrast, a Chevron pattern is made with planks where the ends of each board are cut at an angle. When fitted together, the boards come to a point to create an inverted V pattern. A Chevron floor pattern resembles a long string of arrows running the length of the floor. Chevron floors also bring lots of energy to a space and can help to create a sense of luxury and expansiveness in a room.
Herringbone floors use rectangular planks, the boards are always laid out at an exact 90° angle from each other. On the other hand, Chevron floor can be laid out at a variety of different angles by simply adjusting the angle at which the end of each plank is cut. And where the ends of Herringbone planks create an overlapping and broken quality, the V shapes in a Chevron floor are separated by straight lines that run the entire length of the surface.
Both the patterns feature shorter floorboards laid out at angles, there are key differences in the way the planks are cut and installed.
