Chevron flooring is a widely used floor that originated in France in the 16th century.
Since its appearance, it has been loved by European aristocrats in the Middle Ages. It has appeared in many famous European palaces, the dance floor of the old Shanghai cabaret, and the elegant room of the bookstore.
It is as light and agile as the bones of a fish. In many world-famous buildings, there is the rich colour left by the herringbone wood floor, such as the Versailles, the Louvre, the Great Hall of the People in France, the romantic capital of France, etc.
But the installation of the chevron floor has always been a problem.
The chevron floor is several grades more difficult than herringbone flooring or ordinary straight-laid flooring. The most important point when installing the chevron floor is the alignment of the corners of the floor.
The chevron floor of traditional common male and female tenon splicing must be installed with a full glue system. Before installation, you need to book the backing in the centre of the room on the ground in advance, and then use the scraper to evenly scrape the adhesive on the ground, while laying on the backing, pave the first row of floors, and wait for the first row of floors. After the adhesive is dry and firmly fixed on the concrete floor, the second row of floors will be laid the next day, extending row by row to the edge of the room.
Therefore, once your floor installation workers are not experienced in chevron floor installation, it will cause problems in floor installation.
All the joints cannot be aligned, and relatively large cracks will appear soon after installation. And the larger the paving area, the larger the gaps and dislocations. The so-called miss is a thousand miles away. These gaps will not only greatly reduce the beauty of the floor, but also hide dirt and increase the difficulty of cleaning.
Therefore, in order to solve this thorny issue that has attracted much attention and has been criticized for a long time, we cooperated with the Swedish Valinge company to creatively add a locking system to the chevron floor. Valinge 5G Click System is used.
Välinge Flooring is a part of Välinge Innovation AB – a Swedish innovation and floor producing company based in Viken. The Välinge Flooring brand is our first hardwood flooring products, launching in the US, EU and Asian markets. Our patented technologies Woodura® and 5G® are already well proven, and our R&D facility in Viken is considered to be one of the world’s most advanced R&D centre related to laminate, wood and wood-powder based flooring technology.
By adding the locking system, we perfectly solved the problem of the sharp corner alignment of the chevron floor. Once you install the two fish bones in the correct way, they will not loosen anymore, and you can always install them backwards, and only the pieces can be aligned before they can be buckled in. You never need to worry about gaps due to uneven installation. It can be easily disassembled and reassembled if it is misplaced.
And the most revolutionary change is that even if you are an inexperienced ordinary user, we can DIY, which makes the installation easier and more fun, and allows you to save a lot of installation costs.
