Chevron Flooring Supplier in Titusville, PA
Chevron flooring is one of the most striking patterns in hardwood floor design — and one of the most demanding to produce well. The pieces must be cut at precisely the correct angle, sized identically, and finished consistently to create the seamless V-shaped pattern that defines the chevron look. StoryBook Floors is a custom chevron flooring supplier based in Titusville, Pennsylvania, producing precision-cut chevron pieces from American hardwood and finishing each order to your exact specifications.

How We Produce Chevron Flooring in Titusville, PA
Our chevron production process begins the same way all of our floors do — with domestic lumber. Depending on the order, we either pull from our existing inventory of kiln-dried hardwood blanks or source from a trusted local supplier. If you prefer to supply your own lumber, we can process customer-provided material as well.
From there, the blanks are sent through our chevron machine, which cuts each piece to precisely the correct angle and dimensions required for the chevron pattern. This machined precision is what makes a clean chevron floor possible — even small inconsistencies in angle or length create visible gaps and misalignments at the point where pieces meet. Our machine-cut chevron pieces fit together cleanly every time.
Custom Finishing for Chevron: Distress, Stain, and Seal
Once the chevron pieces are cut, we process them through our finishing workflow according to your specifications. Distressing softens the surface and adds an aged character that complements the boldness of the chevron pattern particularly well. Many of our clients opt for light wire brushing to open the grain without obscuring the precision of the cut pieces. Heavy hand scraping is available for clients who want a more pronounced reclaimed aesthetic.
Staining is applied after distressing and calibrated to your color target. We test stain formulas on your actual species and submit a sample for your approval before committing to the full run. Finish options include matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss in oil-based and water-based formulations. We can also supply chevron pieces at the pre-finish stage if you plan to site-finish the installation.
French Bleeding: The Signature Detail on Chevron Floors
One of the most popular finishing details we offer on chevron flooring is French bleeding — a technique that darkens the edges of each piece to define and emphasize the geometric pattern. When done well, French bleeding gives a chevron floor a sense of depth and visual definition that makes the pattern read from across a room. It is particularly striking in lighter species like white oak and maple, where the contrast between the bled edge and the natural surface color is dramatic.
French bleeding is applied by hand as a final finishing step, after distressing and base stain. We produce a sample showing the bleed intensity before applying it to the full order, so you can calibrate the contrast to match your design intent.

Species and Size Options for Chevron Flooring
Chevron flooring is available in any of the domestic hardwood species we work with — white oak, red oak, walnut, maple, hickory, cherry, and ash. The species you choose significantly influences the final look of the pattern. White oak with a light wire brush and a cool gray stain creates a modern, Scandinavian-influenced chevron. Walnut with a natural finish and light French bleeding reads as rich and traditional. We are happy to produce a species comparison sample set so you can see how the pattern looks in different woods before committing.
Board width affects how the chevron pattern reads at scale. Narrow pieces create a tight, intricate pattern with more visual movement. Wider pieces create a bolder, more graphic effect. We can produce chevron pieces across a range of widths and discuss with you how each option will look in your specific space.

Frequently Asked Questions —
Chevron Flooring Supplier
What makes chevron flooring different from herringbone?
In chevron, the angled ends of each piece meet at a point to create a continuous V or zigzag pattern. In herringbone, the ends of the pieces meet at 90-degree angles to create a broken zigzag. Chevron typically reads as more contemporary and graphic, while herringbone has a more classic, traditional feel.
Can I supply my own lumber for chevron production?
Yes. If you have your own lumber or reclaimed material, we can process it into chevron pieces. Contact us to discuss the material specifications and condition requirements for customer-supplied stock.
Do you offer French bleeding on all chevron orders?
French bleeding is available on any chevron order and is particularly popular on white oak and maple. It is applied after distressing and base stain. We submit a sample showing the bleed intensity before applying it to the full production run.
What species work best for chevron flooring?
White oak is our most popular species for chevron due to its tight grain, neutral tone, and excellent response to staining. Walnut offers a dramatic dark effect. Maple produces a clean, light result. We recommend reviewing samples in multiple species before deciding.
What widths are available for chevron flooring?
We produce chevron pieces in a range of widths. Narrower widths create a tighter, more intricate pattern. Wider pieces produce a bolder geometric effect. Contact us with your space dimensions and design goals to discuss which width will work best.
How are chevron pieces packaged for shipping?
We package chevron pieces carefully with edge protection and secure bundling to prevent damage during transit. We have shipped chevron flooring nationally and have developed packaging standards appropriate for the fragility of precision-cut angled pieces.
Do you produce a sample before the full chevron order?
Yes. A sample is produced and submitted for your approval before any full production run begins. For chevron orders, the sample typically shows a small section of the pattern assembled so you can see how the pieces will look when installed.
Can I order chevron flooring pre-finished or unfinished?
Both options are available. We can supply fully finished ready-to-install chevron pieces or deliver them at any prior stage in the production process, including unfinished, distressed-only, or stained and uncoated.
What is the lead time for a custom chevron order?
Lead times depend on species, volume, and current production schedule. Contact us at the start of your project to discuss timing. We can often accommodate project deadlines with adequate advance notice.
How do I get started with a chevron flooring order?
Contact us with your species preference, width, distressing and finish goals, and square footage. We will guide you through the specification process and get a sample into your hands for approval before production begins.
