  • Find the centre: Unlike straight planks, you usually want the "point" of the chevron to run down the middle of the room or align with a focal point like a fireplace.
  • Dry Laying: We always recommend laying out a few rows without clicking them together first. This helps you visualise the pattern and ensures you don't end up with a tiny, awkward sliver of a pattern at one wall.
  • Expansion Gaps: Just like any other laminate, leave a 10mm gap around the perimeter. The pattern is bold, but the planks still need room to breathe and move naturally.
