Worthing · West Sussex
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 Worthing roughly one home in 3 is a flat (35%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.
Chevron in Worthing
The Worthing district counts 49,538 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 35% of homes in the Worthing 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.
Owner-occupation is 68% in Worthing, and a chevron is an owner's floor in the same way a herringbone is, only more so: it is planned to the room, mitred, glued, and kept. The 3 mm wear layer allows it to be sanded when the time comes.

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
Worthing in the 2021 census: 49,538 households, 65% houses, 35% flats.
Broadwater, Goring, Durrington, Heene, Offington and Marine all sit inside BN11, BN13 and BN14. Flats total 35.3% of the stock in this part of West Sussex, 23.9% in purpose-built blocks and 9.0% converted out of former houses, while social renting is low at 9.8% against 67.5% owned. Conversions are the awkward category, because the floor between two dwellings was never designed as a separating structure: it is timber, it flexes, and it passes footfall straight downwards. A floating system over a resilient layer, with skirtings kept clear of the finish, is the honest answer there. Purpose-built blocks are usually concrete and more forgiving, though the lease still governs what may be laid.
One household in eleven in Worthing occupies a flat subdivided from a bigger building, with another near quarter in purpose-built blocks around Marine, Central, Heene and Castle. Getting a floor into one of those flats is a different exercise from getting it into a house.
A pallet cannot be left in a communal hallway, a lift may not take a long board, and a stairwell with a tight turn sets a hard limit on what can be carried up. Where access is awkward, a shorter board format solves in the ordering what would otherwise be improvised.

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.
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.
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.
In a house, the hall and stairs decide it: they take the traffic and the wet coats, and a specification that holds there will hold anywhere. In a converted flat, measure the stairwell turn and the lift first — access narrows the choice before the room does.
Yes. We deliver across Worthing and West Sussex from our UK warehouse, including the BN11, BN13 and BN14 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.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Worthing 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.
