Does this flooring look ridiculous?

Had new chevron flooring laid today and it doesn’t look right to me. I think the chevrons don’t marry up and it just looks a bit odd. Is it because of the size of the room?

Any advice would be appreciated

It’s not been matched well at all
sorry
doesn’t look like a chevron pattern

Akite · 29/01/2025 17:57

Shouldn't the chevron pattern continue along the length of the floor? It's because it randomly changes direction that it looks odd

Maboscelar · 29/01/2025 17:57

It hasn't been laid properly so the chevron pattern isn't showing right. They need to redo it.

I makes me feel seasick!

soupyspoon · 29/01/2025 17:58

The pattern is all wrong, hes done bits upside down

Also colour awful, which cant be improved with how you lay it

Err who did this, a professional?!

Ooh that’s really bad. So sorry

Looks like an optical illusion 😳

Am805463 · 29/01/2025 18:01

It’s been laid incorrectly and needs doing again.

saveforthat · 29/01/2025 18:01

Yes it's not been laid in the correct pattern. I had a similar floor and was there when the fitter started to go wrong and I pointed it out. They can't see it when they are on top of it. They should have stepped back and checked at the end.

InfoSecInTheCity · 29/01/2025 18:02

I feel like I might be seeing things but haven't they laid the far left run the wrong way up?

That’s really really bad OP. The lines in each strip need to be pointing the same way. In yours they randomly change direction at some points.

Yes.

Chevr · 29/01/2025 18:02

Thank you for confirming my suspicions! I’m gutted as it cost a lot of money. I hate complaining but will need to bite the bullet and complain tomorrow

At least 3.of those planks have the pattern facing the wrong way so rather than /\ you have //.

The colour is nicer in person, I think 🤣

Looks terrible. Who did it? Just want to know so i can avoid in the future

Darkplums · 29/01/2025 18:05

I had a similar issue when Karndean flooring was laid in my kitchen, the fitter had created a pathway with the darker planks. He came back and refitted it, it just wasn’t obvious to him when he fitted it.

Happy24624 · 29/01/2025 18:05

It doesn't look like it's been laid in the right pattern, I don't know if this photo of ours helps at all but the chevrons are kind of staggered.

Terrible! All needs redoing

Doggymummar · 29/01/2025 18:07

It hasn't been trimmed to size or anything. Terrible , I sent it to my friend who runs a wood floor shop and he said was the fitter blind?

InfoSecInTheCity · 29/01/2025 18:08

Just realised why I was confused. Why have they changed direction in the blue circled bit?

Very poor fitting I'd call them back

ThatUniqueKoala · 29/01/2025 18:09

It looks like cheap adhesive floor tiles stuck down wrong. Definitely complain and get them to do it properly
