Chevron Flooring in East Kilbride

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.

Chevron in East Kilbride

Chevron flooring in East Kilbride: what the housing says

The arrow runs the length of a room and makes it read longer, and because the blocks are mitred the pattern asks for careful setting-out and a larger waste allowance than a plank.

In East Kilbride the chevron is the pattern for the room with a length to it: the arrow points down the room and the room reads longer. It is glued, it needs a flat base and a border plan, and it is ordered with a pattern allowance of 15 to 20 percent.

What is true of an East Kilbride ground floor stops at the ceiling. Joists come back upstairs, and a bedroom over the slab is ordinary timber with all the movement that implies, so a two-storey house in G74 or G75 wants two specifications rather than one carried through both.

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

East Kilbride's homes, by the numbers

East Kilbride by postcode district: G74 and G75.

East Kilbride covers G74 and G75 — East Kilbride Central North and South, East, West and South, and out to Avondale and Stonehouse. It is part of South Lanarkshire. We do not quote census tenure figures for Scottish towns on these pages, because Scotland runs its own census on a different cycle and mixing the two would be comparing unlike things. What is worth knowing here is the housing: East Kilbride was designated Scotland's first new town in 1947, so the stock is overwhelmingly post-war and the ground floor is almost always concrete rather than joists. If the property is a flat, check the title deeds for an impact sound condition before choosing a hard floor.

Ground contact keeps a Greenhills slab within a narrow band all year, so the covering over it is barely moved by heat. What opens and closes its joints in G75 is humidity, which living in the room raises more than the heating does.

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

Questions

Chevron flooring in East Kilbride: questions, answered

Herringbone or chevron for a East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride address?

Yes. Samples post to any G74 or G75 address, Stonehouse and Earnock included. Lay the piece on the slab it will live on, because a cold base under a sample tells you more about how the finished floor will feel than a showroom bench does.

Do you deliver chevron flooring to East Kilbride?

Yes. We deliver across East Kilbride and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the G74 and G75 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 East Kilbride?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your East Kilbride 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.
