Chevron Flooring in Livingston
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 Livingston
Chevron flooring in Livingston: 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 Livingston 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.
Screed is not the structure; it is a topping laid over it, and across EH53 and EH54 that topping is what a floor actually sits on. Tap across it before anything goes down, because a hollow note means it has let go of the slab beneath, and levelling a loose screed only buries the problem.

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
Livingston's homes, by the numbers
Livingston by postcode district: EH53 and EH54.
Livingston covers EH53 and EH54 — Livingston North and South, East Livingston and East Calder, Bathgate, Whitburn and Blackburn, and the Pentland Hills ward. It is in West Lothian. Scottish tenure figures come from a separate census on a different cycle, so we do not quote England and Wales numbers here. What matters for flooring is that Livingston was designated a new town in 1962: almost nothing predates it, the ground floor is concrete or screed rather than joists, and underfloor heating appears in the later phases. Over a heat source engineered wood is the right construction and solid timber is not, because solid moves as the floor warms and cools.
A heated Livingston floor warms and cools once a day through the season, drying the room's air and working every joint in the covering. Bring the heating up and down across the fitting itself rather than switching it on once the fitter has gone.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Questions
Chevron flooring in Livingston: questions, answered
Herringbone or chevron for a Livingston 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 Livingston address?
Yes, samples can be ordered to any Livingston address, the Pentland Hills ward included, and there is one thing worth doing while a piece is with you: take a moisture reading off the screed it would sit on. A wet reading rules bonded coverings out.
Do you deliver chevron flooring to Livingston?
Yes. We deliver across Livingston and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the EH53 and EH54 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 Livingston?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Livingston 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.
