## Why designers choose chevron

Chevron flooring was laid in French châteaux and Parisian apartments long before it reached Australian homes, which is why it's often called **French herringbone**. The V-shape gives a strong sense of direction, so it's ideal for:

- leading the eye down a **hallway** or towards a view;
- making a **narrow room** feel longer;
- adding a tailored look to **boutique retail, restaurants and offices**.

Because every joint lines up along a single centre line, chevron rewards precise installation.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is chevron more expensive than herringbone?

Chevron blocks need angled machining and the floor needs precise set-out, so supply and labour can be a little higher than herringbone. Ask a [Timbo partner](https://timbo.com.au/partners/find-a-partner) for a quote on your floor plan.

### Which is more modern, chevron or herringbone?

Chevron tends to read as more contemporary and directional; herringbone feels more classic. Both suit modern interiors in natural oak. See [herringbone vs chevron](https://timbo.com.au/compare/herringbone-vs-chevron).

### Can chevron go over underfloor heating?

Solid oak over underfloor heating needs care – floor surface temperatures are usually limited (commonly to about 27°C) and installation conditions must be controlled. Read [oak flooring and underfloor heating](https://timbo.com.au/guides/underfloor-heating-oak-flooring) and talk to Timbo before specifying.
