Many homeowners love the look of engineered hardwood flooring thanks to its width, color, and texture options. But, if you're searching for a more modern take on these classic floors, check out engineered hardwood chevron boards. At LL Flooring, our pre-patterned floor boards make it quicker and easier to achieve a chevron design than via the traditional installation method, which involves laying each plank in a cross-hatch pattern. Ready to give your home an update? Here's everything you'll need to find a patterned flooring you love—and perhaps one you can install yourself, too.

 

The Basics of Chevron-Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Chevron is an inverted-V pattern that continues without interruption. This zigzag pattern is a popular choice in home design, whether used for tile backsplash, fabric window treatments, or flooring. Rows of chevron boards look like a long string of arrows running the length of your floor. This pattern adds visual interest to your room, giving it a bold look.

Are you looking for patterned floors but don't want the extra task of setting out the pattern? We've got you covered. At LL Flooring, you can find pre-patterned boards that allow you to achieve the chevron look without the hassle. These pieces combine two styles of flooring, row by row, to create the design you're after. You'll install the boards much like you would any other engineered hardwood flooring because the pattern is built into the pieces for you.

 

Plus, you can achieve your desired aesthetic by choosing from various color and texture options. Love the feel of an open space? Check out a blonde or light wood finish that brightens the room while allowing the chevron pattern to take center stage. Medium or dark wood chevron lends the space a sophisticated and warm touch. Many of these chevron-engineered wood boards use texturing techniques, such as wire brushing, which expose the wood grain and lend depth and interest to the design.

How to Install a Chevron Hardwood Floor Using Engineered Flooring

At LL Flooring, you'll find pre-patterned flooring designed for convenience and DIY-friendly installation. Gone are the days of cutting boards and setting them in your preferred pattern. Now, you can purchase engineered hardwood chevron flooring that's ready for installation.

 

Your pre-patterned chevron-engineered hardwood flooring will arrive with equal parts of two alternating patterns. Just install the alternating patterns consecutively to create the chevron pattern. In other words, the first row of flooring will have one pattern, and the next will have the opposite pattern. As you install the boards row by row, you'll see the chevron pattern develop.

 

But before you watch that beautiful chevron pattern come to life, you've got to make some decisions about installation. Are you an ambitious DIYer or someone who prefers to leave it to the pros? If you need a helping hand, our professional installation services are here for you.
