Chevron Flooring in Aldershot

Chevron cuts each block at an angle so the boards meet in a continuous point, an arrow rather than a zig-zag; in this range it is engineered oak, 14 mm thick, glued down. In Aldershot roughly one home in 4 is a flat (28%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.

Chevron flooring in Aldershot: what the housing says

The Rushmoor district counts 39,303 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a chevron floor is specified here.

Semi-detached houses are 32% of the homes in Rushmoor, and the semi's living room, opened up front to back, is the room a chevron was drawn for: the point of the arrow runs from the bay to the garden. The two bases along that run, timber and concrete, are levelled to one another before the first block.

Flats are 28% of homes in the Rushmoor district, and a chevron in a flat is a glued floor over the slab; where the lease has an impact-sound clause, the acoustic layer has to be one the adhesive is approved for. The pattern suits the long, narrow living rooms of purpose-built blocks.

Compare the chevron range

The Knightsbridge Chevron comes in two faces, Knightsbridge Chevron Natural Brushed Oak and Knightsbridge Chevron Raw Oak, both 14 x 90 x 510 mm, tongue and groove, engineered, with a 3 mm wear layer and listed for underfloor heating. For the same pattern in a kitchen, the herringbone rigid-vinyl range is the click alternative; there is no chevron in vinyl in the range.

Local fact sheet

Aldershot's homes, by the numbers

Rushmoor in the 2021 census: 39,303 households, 72% houses, 28% flats.

Aldershot sits in Rushmoor borough, and we deliver to GU11 and GU12 — Aldershot Park, Manor Park, North Town, Rowhill and across to Ash Vale and Ash Wharf. Rushmoor's tenure profile is unusual for Hampshire: at the 2021 census 21.5% of households rented privately, up 3.9 points on 2011, while ownership fell to 60.5%. A fifth of the local market is therefore a landlord deciding between voids and durability, and that changes what sells. For a rental turnaround, LVT and a good AC-rated laminate do more per pound than engineered oak, because the floor has to survive tenants rather than impress guests. For your own home the calculation reverses.

Not every Aldershot tenancy has a private landlord. Social renting covers roughly one Rushmoor household in six, and has held there for a decade. So a GU11 or GU12 floor is sometimes bought by the tenant rather than the landlord, and has to come up undamaged at the end of the let.

A landlord specifying a floor is not the household that will heat the room it goes into. A Manor Park let stands cold between tenancies, then gets warmed hard the day someone moves in, and a solid board takes that swing worse than a layered one.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Aldershot

  • The axis of the room A chevron points. Decide which way before the drawing, because the drawing fixes the border and the border fixes the quantity.
  • Flat enough for glue Mitred blocks show every hollow. A straightedge over the base, then a levelling compound if it fails.
  • 15 to 20 percent over The pattern allowance on the manufacturers' guidance, ordered in one batch.
  • Point it through the house A chevron running front to back through a knocked-through semi wants the axis decided for the whole run, and both bases at one level before the adhesive.
  • Lease and adhesive An acoustic layer under glued blocks has to be one the adhesive is approved for.

Questions

Chevron flooring in Aldershot: questions, answered

Herringbone or chevron for a Aldershot home?

Herringbone is the traditional zig-zag and forgives a squarer room; chevron is the continuous arrow and wants a room with length. Chevron blocks are mitred, so the setting-out is less forgiving and the border matters more. The comparison guide takes it further.

Is the chevron range suitable for underfloor heating?

Both Knightsbridge Chevron boards are engineered, 14 mm thick, and listed for underfloor heating, on a screed that is dry and a system that has been commissioned first.

Can I have chevron in a kitchen?

The oak chevron is for dry rooms. For a patterned floor in a kitchen the rigid-vinyl herringbone, listed as waterproof, is the range to look at; there is no vinyl chevron in the range.

Can I order flooring samples to my Aldershot address?

Yes, to a St Mark's or Wellington address, or wherever the person choosing actually is. A sample settles colour and how the joint sits; it cannot settle wear, so read the rating we publish beside the range rather than trusting a piece nobody has walked on.

Do you deliver chevron flooring to Aldershot?

Yes. We deliver across Aldershot and Hampshire from our UK warehouse, including the GU11 and GU12 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a chevron sample before ordering in Aldershot?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Aldershot address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
