Chevron Flooring in Bracknell
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 Bracknell 79% of homes are houses, most of them terraced houses (29%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Chevron flooring in Bracknell: what the housing says
The Bracknell Forest district counts 50,248 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.
Terraced houses are 29% of the Bracknell Forest stock, and in a terrace the chevron goes into the room with the length to carry it, the through-lounge or a long hallway, rather than a square front room. The arrow needs a run. The base is a screwed-down ply overlay on the old boards, and the blocks are glued.
Owner-occupation is 69% in Bracknell Forest, and a chevron is an owner's floor in the same way a herringbone is, only more so: it is planned to the room, mitred, glued, and kept. The 3 mm wear layer allows it to be sanded when the time comes.

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
Bracknell's homes, by the numbers
Bracknell Forest in the 2021 census: 50,248 households, 78% houses, 21% flats.
Bracknell is RG12 and RG42 — Easthampstead and Wildridings, Great Hollands, Hanworth, Harmans Water and Crown Wood, Bullbrook, and north to Binfield and Warfield West. It is a unitary authority in its own right, separate from Berkshire's other five. Bracknell was designated a new town in 1949, and the housing reflects it: ownership was 66.8% at the 2021 census with social renting also at 15.7%, an unusually even three-way split. For flooring that matters more than it sounds. Post-war and later housing generally means a solid ground floor rather than suspended timber, so the question is not levelling the boards but checking the damp-proof membrane before anything goes down.
Past the designated estates the map keeps going: Crowthorne and Swinley Forest at the southern edge, Warfield West and Jennett's Park at the other, then over the borough line to Twyford, Ruscombe and Hurst. An address on this page is as often a village house on a wide plot as an estate terrace.
Concrete holds the room's cold and gives it up slowly, so on a Bracknell slab it is the underlay that decides how warm the floor feels underfoot. That base does not move with the season, so what changes across the year is comfort rather than fit.

Before you choose
Before you order in Bracknell
- 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.
- Ply over the boards A glued chevron goes onto a screwed-down ply overlay, not onto old boards.
- Refinished, not replaced A glued oak chevron is sanded and refinished in place. Keep the invoice, the batch number and the adhesive name with the house papers.

Questions
Chevron flooring in Bracknell: questions, answered
Herringbone or chevron for a Bracknell 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 Bracknell address?
Order as many as you like: they are posted free to a Bracknell Forest address, Crowthorne and Warfield West included. Put the board on the underlay you mean to buy rather than on the old carpet; that pair is what the room will feel like.
Do you deliver chevron flooring to Bracknell?
Yes. We deliver across Bracknell and Berkshire from our UK warehouse, including the RG12 and RG42 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 Bracknell?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Bracknell 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.
