Question 1

What's the difference between chevron and herringbone flooring?

Accepted Answer

While both are parquet-style patterns, chevron planks are cut at an angle so the ends meet in a continuous V-shape, creating clean, unbroken zigzag lines. Herringbone uses rectangular planks laid at 90 degrees, producing a more staggered look. Chevron tends to feel more formal and streamlined.

Question 2

Is chevron flooring suitable for modern Melbourne homes?

Accepted Answer

Chevron is a natural fit for contemporary Melbourne interiors. Its clean geometric lines complement minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired design styles, and it adds a sense of movement and sophistication to open-plan living spaces that are common in newer Melbourne builds.

Question 3

What materials are available for chevron flooring?

Accepted Answer

Chevron patterns are most commonly available in engineered timber — particularly European Oak — as well as hybrid and luxury vinyl. Engineered Oak chevron is the most popular choice among Melbourne homeowners for its authentic look and excellent stability over concrete slabs.

Question 4

Does chevron flooring require specialist installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chevron installation requires precision cutting and alignment to ensure the V-points line up perfectly across the room. Our experienced Melbourne installers are well-versed in parquet patterns and ensure every joint is tight and symmetrical for a flawless finish.
