Chevron Flooring in West Bromwich

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 West Bromwich 81% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (45%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Chevron in West Bromwich

Chevron flooring in West Bromwich: what the housing says

The Sandwell district counts 130,246 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 45% of the homes in Sandwell, 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.

Social renting is 27% of households in Sandwell; a mitred, glued pattern floor is not a refurbishment-programme specification, and where a pattern is wanted at that scale it is the click herringbone in rigid vinyl. A tenant who wants a chevron in a social tenancy needs the landlord's written consent before a glued floor goes in, and the click version is the easier request.

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

West Bromwich's homes, by the numbers

Sandwell in the 2021 census: 130,246 households, 81% houses, 19% flats.

West Bromwich covers B70 and B71, with B69, B66, B67 and B21 across the borough. It is part of Sandwell, a metropolitan borough of the West Midlands. Sandwell has the second lowest ownership rate we deliver to at 53.7%, down 3.2 points, with social renting at 26.6% and private renting up 5.7 points to 18.6% — the largest increase in private renting on this list. Nearly half of all homes are rented. That single fact should decide the specification: an AC-rated laminate or a mid-wear-layer LVT laid over a properly prepared base will outlast a thin engineered board in a property that changes hands, and it costs less to put right when it does not.

This page covers a borough rather than a town. B70 and B71 are the middle of it, with B21, B66, B67 and B69 ringing it round, and the housing carries on into Oldbury, Tipton and Wednesbury without anything at the roadside marking where one ends and the next begins.

Between one tenancy and the next a West Bromwich house stands unheated for weeks, and the subfloor is colder then, holding more moisture, than it will once somebody moves in. A covering fitted in that state is settling to conditions that have not arrived yet.

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

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in West Bromwich

  • 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.
  • Consent for a glued floor A chevron is glued down and stays. A tenancy agreement usually needs the landlord's written consent before a hard floor goes in; ask first.

Questions

Chevron flooring in West Bromwich: questions, answered

Herringbone or chevron for a West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich address?

Samples go to any address in Sandwell, B70 and B21 alike. Damage the one that arrives - a chair leg dragged over it, a coin pressed in, a cloth across the mark. A floor in a Rowley or Holyhead house meets all three in its first month.

Do you deliver chevron flooring to West Bromwich?

Yes. We deliver across West Bromwich and West Midlands from our UK warehouse, including the B21, B66, B67, B69, B70 and B71 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 West Bromwich?

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