Chevron Flooring in Hastings
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 Hastings roughly one home in 3 is a flat (36%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.

Chevron flooring in Hastings: what the housing says
The Hastings district counts 40,454 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.
Flats are 36% of homes in the Hastings 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.
Private renting is 29% of households in Hastings; a chevron is chosen for the let that trades on its interior, and it is refinished in place between tenancies rather than relaid. For the wider rental stock in Hastings a plank or the click herringbone is the usual specification.

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
Hastings's homes, by the numbers
Hastings in the 2021 census: 40,454 households, 64% houses, 36% flats.
Hastings covers TN34, TN35, TN37 and TN38 — Castle, Central St Leonards, Gensing, Ashdown, Baird, Braybrooke and Conquest. It is a district of East Sussex. Hastings is the one town on this list where ownership rose between the censuses, from 55.2% to 56.6%, while private renting edged down to 28.6%. It is still by some distance the highest private rented share we deliver to — more than one home in four. Much of that sits in the large Regency and Victorian houses of St Leonards, subdivided into flats. In a converted flat the floor is someone else's ceiling, so impact sound insulation comes first, and the lease will usually say so explicitly.
Hastings answers to four outcodes, TN34, TN35, TN37 and TN38, and they cover places that grew up apart before the town joined them: Castle and Old Hastings at one end, Maze Hill, Gensing, Braybrooke and Baird across the middle. The outcode, not the town name, tells us what we are flooring.
Seafront buildings along Maze Hill and Central St Leonards hold a steadier, damper indoor air than inland stock, in tall rooms heated in bursts. Specify a dimensionally stable construction, and leave the packs standing in the flat until they stop moving.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Questions
Chevron flooring in Hastings: questions, answered
Herringbone or chevron for a Hastings 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 Hastings address?
Yes, and it is the part of this job needing no access at all: a sample arrives through the letterbox, whoever holds the key to the communal door. Order more than one, then choose against the woodwork you are keeping.
Do you deliver chevron flooring to Hastings?
Yes. We deliver across Hastings and East Sussex from our UK warehouse, including the TN34, TN35, TN37 and TN38 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 Hastings?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Hastings 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.
