Chevron Flooring in Farnborough
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 Farnborough roughly one home in 4 is a flat (28%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.

Chevron flooring in Farnborough: 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.

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
Farnborough's homes, by the numbers
Rushmoor in the 2021 census: 39,303 households, 72% houses, 28% flats.
“Read the lease before choosing the floor, not after it is down.”
Farnborough covers GU14 and GU16 — Cove and Southwood, Empress, Cherrywood, Fernhill, and across to Ash Vale, Frimley and Blackwater and Hawley. Like Aldershot it sits in Rushmoor borough, where 21.5% of households rented privately at the 2021 census against 60.5% owning. What distinguishes Farnborough is what has been built here recently: the town centre and the former airfield land have seen substantial new apartment development, and apartments change the flooring question entirely. In a flat the lease usually specifies impact sound insulation, and a hard floor laid without it is a dispute rather than a design choice. Read the lease before choosing the floor, not after it is down.
A new floor in a GU14 block starts from a base that was poured level, which is not how the rest of this list begins. Almost everywhere the first money goes on levelling a timber floor that has moved; on the airfield land it does not, and that budget is free for the board itself.
A screed poured recently is still giving up water, and much of what stands on the former airfield land is recent. Take a reading before anything goes down; where the heating sits in the slab, the board has to be rated for a warm base too.

Guides
Before you choose
Before you order in Farnborough
- 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 Farnborough: questions, answered
Herringbone or chevron for a Farnborough 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 Farnborough address?
Yes, and if the flat is bought but not yet handed over, send the samples wherever you are living now and carry them to the next viewing. Knellwood, the airfield land, GU14 or GU16, it makes no difference which address the pieces go to.
Do you deliver chevron flooring to Farnborough?
Yes. We deliver across Farnborough and Hampshire from our UK warehouse, including the GU14 and GU16 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 Farnborough?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Farnborough 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.
