Chevron cuts the ends of each tile at an angle so the pieces meet in a continuous V shape. The result is a sharp, flowing zigzag.
The feel: Graphic and energetic, more precise than herringbone.

How we install it
We find the center line and set the first V at the middle of the wall so the pattern is symmetrical, then work outward and trim the edge pieces last.

Questions about this design
Is chevron tile harder to find?
Some tile ships pre-cut for chevron. Otherwise we cut the angle in the field, which adds time.
Does chevron look busy?
It is a strong pattern, so many people use it on one wall or on a niche back and keep the rest simple.
