For floors and walls that need a little extra style and character, Chevron tiles could be just perfect. Similar to a Herringbone pattern, this style brings a stunning design aspect with qualities that highlight and contrast beautifully with your interior. Whilst both herringbone and chevron tiles are similar in terms of style, the two are not equal in terms of design.
A Herringbone pattern is constructed from long rectangles that typically cross one another to achieve its zig-zag formation, Chevron uses parallelograms to create a V shape that accomplishes the similar look. Each parallelogram fits together to form a neat and tidy arrangement that completes your chosen room with beauty and sophistication.
The advantages of a Chevron pattern floor
Chevron tiles can fit into almost any room of any chosen establishment, whether it be your home or place of work, chevron ceramic or porcelain will have a place. Due to the material’s water, heat and impact resistant properties, the chevron tile will make an excellent addition to your wet room, bathroom or kitchen. Like most other porcelain and ceramic tiles, chevron is hard-wearing and therefore very difficult to scratch or mark. They can tolerate a significant amount of pressure from large furniture or other heavy objects and they do not damage easily when colliding with sharp materials or foot traffic.
Chevron is another low maintenance tile that does not require too much attention and is easy to clean. With their high chemical resistance qualities and inability to absorb water, these stain proof tiles will make a very hygienic addition to your chosen space.
Porcelain and ceramic are also heatproof and non-combustible, which makes Chevron another suitable tile for underfloor heating systems.
The glamorous styles of chevron
One of the most unique qualities of these tiles is their style, with the right colours and techniques, you can create an effect that resembles another choice of design or dazzle your friends and family with interesting and unique combinations. For instance, with colours that closely match wood such as grey or hazel, you can achieve a timber effect that works similarly to wood effect tiles or more specifically herringbone wood flooring. If you prefer plain colours, your tiles will still engage your visitors with their gloss or matt finishes which create a smooth shiny surface which brightens your rooms. Chevron tiles may also come in a variety of patterns such as Victorian or floral. This provides a classical option and more choices for customisation.
