The Chevron Point floor is an elegant laying pattern often confused with herringbone. Yet, there is a clear difference. While herringbone is laid at a right angle, planks in a Chevron Point are placed against each other at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees. This creates a refined, symmetrical appearance with a luxurious character.
But what makes a Chevron Point floor so popular? And is this type of flooring suitable for underfloor heating or an apartment, for example? In this guide, we explain it clearly and practically.
What exactly is a Chevron Point floor?
In a Chevron Point, the planks are cut at an angle and laid against each other in a tight point pattern. This creates a continuous linear pattern without interruption, which visually elongates the space.
The difference with herringbone, therefore, lies in the finish of the plank ends. This subtle detail gives the floor a calmer and more chic effect.
Chevron Point floor in the living room
In the living room, a Chevron Point floor truly comes into its own. The pattern adds character without appearing too busy. Especially in a PVC version, you combine appearance with practical advantages such as water resistance and ease of maintenance.
Additionally, a PVC Chevron Point floor is excellent for use with underfloor heating. Thanks to its good thermal conductivity, the floor feels comfortable and heat is efficiently distributed.
Suitable for an apartment?
Yes, absolutely. In an apartment, noise reduction is often important. A PVC Chevron Point floor is sound-dampening and feels pleasant underfoot. Moreover, PVC is thin and stable, which is ideal for renovations or when there is limited build-up height.
Chevron Point inspiration
The appearance of a Chevron Point floor largely depends on the chosen color. Light oak creates a fresh and spacious atmosphere. Darker shades, on the other hand, give a warm and luxurious character.
Tip: combine a Chevron Point with neutral furniture to really make the pattern stand out.
Maintenance of a Chevron Point floor
Maintenance depends on the material. If you choose PVC, it's simple: regular vacuuming and light damp mopping are sufficient. PVC is durable and resistant to daily wear and tear.
For wooden variants, periodic maintenance with suitable oil or lacquer is important to keep the floor looking good.
Buying a Chevron Point: what to look for?
- Choose the right material (PVC or wood)
- Check if the floor is suitable for underfloor heating
- Pay attention to the thickness and wear layer of PVC
- Ensure a level subfloor for glued installation
A Chevron Point floor is often glued down for the neatest result. This requires a leveled subfloor and professional installation.
