French-style wood flooring or so-called chevron is a way of stacking parquet in V shape, where the planks are set at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees.
45 vs 60 degrees chevron parquet
Chevron flooring fits perfectly into all types of interiors, whether it is a retro or modern space. Due to its elegant note, it can be used very nicely in classic and stylish interiors, but it is also suitable for all types of modern interiors since it provides a luxurious appearance.
Likewise, this type of flooring is suitable for underfloor heating. If you opt for this option, the best is to choose parquet made of heat-treated wood such as oak or ash, or even better exotic types of wood such as iroko, wenge, or the like.
Our suggestion is to buy multi-layer parquet that is processed into the chevron style. All parquets can be delivered with different widths and finishes- varnished, oiled, or tinted.
Chevron vs. Herringbone flooring
The chevron style of parquet is next to herringbone flooring and Versailles flooring one of the most expensive on the market. The reason for this is that the parquet has to be reworked and there is a cost of losing wood when cutting the edges at a particular angle, which loses as much as 5 to 10% on the length of the board. The total loss of wood or waste goes as much as 17% of the total area.
Our company Green Timber Coltd provides all types of flooring, massive and multi-layer upon request.
