Chevron Flooring in Falkirk

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 Falkirk

Chevron flooring in Falkirk: 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 Falkirk 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.

Set out from the wall in one of Falkirk South's older FK1 terraces and the last board will tell you the room is not square. Stone is the whole of that wall, structure and skin from ground to eaves, with no inner leaf behind it to straighten anything. Work to a line struck down the room instead.

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

Falkirk's homes, by the numbers

Falkirk by postcode district: FK1 and FK2.

Falkirk is FK1 and FK2 — Falkirk North and South, Bonnybridge and Larbert, Carse, Kinnaird and Tryst, Bo'ness and Blackness, and Bannockburn. Falkirk Council is a Scottish unitary authority. We do not publish census tenure figures for Scotland here: the Scottish census runs separately from the England and Wales one, and quoting a figure from the wrong survey would be worse than quoting none. On the practical side, Falkirk's older stock includes stone-built terraces and tenement flats, and in a tenement the binding constraint is usually the title deeds rather than the floor — most carry an impact sound condition, so insulation is a requirement rather than an upgrade.

Above another heated home, a Falkirk tenement floor gives away almost nothing, so the layer beneath the covering is doing a sound job rather than a warmth one. The ground-floor flat at the foot of the close is the exception, with real cold beneath it.

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

Questions

Chevron flooring in Falkirk: questions, answered

Herringbone or chevron for a Falkirk 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 Falkirk address?

We post samples anywhere in FK1 and FK2, and they arrive through the letterbox rather than up the close. Stand the piece just inside the flat door where the hall light is poorest, because that corner decides whether a colour works across the whole flat.

Do you deliver chevron flooring to Falkirk?

Yes. We deliver across Falkirk and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the FK1 and FK2 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 Falkirk?

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