Chevron Flooring in Wrexham

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 Wrexham 89% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (38%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Chevron flooring in Wrexham: what the housing says

The Wrexham district counts 57,916 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 38% of the homes in Wrexham, 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.

Detached houses are 32% of the Wrexham stock in Wrexham, and a large room carries a chevron well, with the point set on the axis of the room and a border at the walls. The setting-out drawing is the order: it fixes the quantity and the border width, and it is done before the boxes arrive.

Social renting is 21% of households in Wrexham; 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.

Compare the chevron range

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

Wrexham's homes, by the numbers

Wrexham in the 2021 census: 57,916 households, 88% houses, 11% flats.

Wrexham covers LL11, LL12, LL13 and LL14 — Acton and Maesydre, Borras Park, Brynyffynnon, Bryn Cefn, Brymbo, and out to Acrefair and Caergwrle. It became a Welsh unitary authority in 1996 and a city in 2022. Social renting is high at 21.0% and private renting rose 3.9 points to 15.8% between the censuses, against ownership of 62.5% — over a third of homes rented. Wrexham grew on coal and brewing and much of the terraced stock dates from that period: suspended timber at ground level, over a void, and usually needing levelling before anything is laid. The former colliery villages around Brymbo are later and more often solid.

Getting on for nine of every ten Wrexham homes are houses, and the converted flat is close to absent, so an order here is normally the whole place at once rather than a single room in a shared building. From LL11 through to LL13 that is one decision covering the ground floor and the stairs.

A ground floor at Brynyffynnon or Cartrefle runs colder than the room and trades moisture with it all season; the later stock does not. Condition boards where they will live.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Wrexham

  • 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.
  • Room for the pattern to read A chevron needs length to show its direction. A long reception room is where it reads best; the drawing fixes the border and the quantity.
  • 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 Wrexham: questions, answered

Herringbone or chevron for a Wrexham 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 Wrexham address?

Yes, and a request written Wrecsam reaches us the same as one written Wrexham. Ask for more than one square, too: the board you pick in one room here ends up in rooms you were not standing in when you chose it.

Do you deliver chevron flooring to Wrexham?

Yes. We deliver across Wrexham and North Wales from our UK warehouse, including the LL11, LL12 and LL13 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 Wrexham?

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