Richmond SPC Chevron: Chevron Flooring Made for UAE Homes
Chevron is one of the most recognisable floor patterns in interior design. Each plank has angled ends, so the boards meet in a clean, continuous "V" that runs the length of the room. The pattern feels tailored and architectural — it makes a hallway look longer and a living room look wider.
In the past, a chevron floor meant solid or engineered timber: expensive, sensitive to humidity and hard to keep looking new in the UAE climate. Richmond SPC Chevron flooring gives you the same pattern in a rigid, water-resistant plank built for Dubai apartments, villas, offices and shops — at a fraction of the cost of timber parquet.

What Is SPC Chevron Flooring?
SPC stands for stone plastic composite. Instead of a wood or fibre board, the core of each plank is a dense, rigid layer made from stone powder and stabilisers. On top sit a high-definition wood-grain film, a clear wear layer and a protective coating. The result is a chevron vinyl floor that looks like timber but performs like a hard-wearing, water-resistant tile — and with the right care, vinyl flooring lasts for many years.
Every Richmond SPC Chevron plank is built in layers:
- PU + UV protection coating — resists scratches, scuffs and fading from sunlight.
- 0.5 mm wear layer — the clear protective layer that takes everyday foot traffic.
- 3-layer film with real wood 3D texture — the grain is embossed, so you can feel it as well as see it.
- Medical-grade antibacterial nano film — for a more hygienic surface.
- 5.0 mm virgin white stone core — rigid, stable and 100% water-resistant.
- 1 mm pre-attached IXPE underlay — more comfort, less footstep noise, and no separate underlay to buy. Learn more: do you need underlayment for SPC flooring?

Where to Use Chevron Flooring
- Living and dining rooms — a statement feature floor.
- Bedrooms — warmer and quieter thanks to the IXPE underlay.
- Hallways and entrances — the V-pattern draws the eye and makes narrow spaces feel longer.
- Kitchens — water-resistant and stain-resistant.
- Offices, boutiques, cafés and showrooms — covered by the 5-year commercial warranty.
- Rental apartments and villas — a durable upgrade that holds its looks between tenants.
Chevron vs Herringbone Flooring
Both are classic parquet patterns. In herringbone, rectangular planks with square ends meet at right angles in a staggered zig-zag. In chevron, the plank ends are cut at an angle, so the boards meet point-to-point in a clean, continuous V. Chevron feels more streamlined and modern; herringbone feels more traditional. If you want the parquet look with a calmer, contemporary finish, Richmond SPC Chevron is the one to choose. Prefer the zig-zag? Explore Richmond SPC Herringbone and Polar SPC Herringbone.
How Many Cartons Do I Need?
Each carton of Richmond SPC Chevron contains 24 planks (125 × 525 mm) and covers 1.575 m².
- Multiply the room length by the width to get the area in m².
- Add 10–15% for cuts and wastage — chevron is cut at the walls on both sides of the V.
Example: a 20 m² room + 10% = 22 m². 22 ÷ 1.575 = 13.97, so you would order 14 cartons. See our how to measure your room guide for step-by-step help.
