10x60 Chevron Pattern
The 10x60 chevron pattern mitres wide wood-look planks at 45° so they meet in a single continuous V, a wider-format take on the classic 3x12 chevron layout with a bolder, more graphic joint line and sharper vertical seams than herringbone.

Adhesive & grout
- Thin-set adhesive: ≈ 40.5 kg (2 × 50 lb bags) — recommended trowel: 12mm notch, large format
- Grout — the tile sets the joint width, not you:
- ≈ 4.0 kg (1 × 10 lb bag) — 3mm joint, rectified / tight-set tile
- ≈ 6.7 kg (1 × 25 lb bag) — 5mm joint, natural or non-rectified tile
Adhesive: allow a little over on an uneven substrate, or if you back-butter large tiles — both eat more than a flat bed.
Grout: the 25 lb bag is the usual size (10 lb for small jobs). Buy it in one go and stick to a single bag size: bags from different batches can dry to slightly different shades.
It's the tile that decides the joint, not the setter — dry-lay a section to find your width. Assumes 9.5mm tile depth; adjust for your product — thicker tiles need more.

About the 10x60 Chevron Pattern
Chevron takes its name from the V-shaped insignia, and unlike herringbone's 90° zigzag, its planks are cut at a 45° mitre so opposing pieces line up into one unbroken diagonal line — a more labor-intensive cut that reads as a cleaner, more formal pattern.
As wide wood-look planks became popular in porcelain and ceramic, 10x60 chevron emerged as a large-scale option for hallways and open floors where a bold, continuous V makes the most visual impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between chevron and herringbone?
Herringbone tiles meet at a 90° angle with a stepped zigzag joint, while chevron planks are mitered at 45° so they form one unbroken, continuous V — a cleaner, more formal look.
Is 10x60 chevron harder to install than smaller chevron sizes?
Yes — mitered cuts require precise angles on every plank, and the larger the plank, the less forgiving the room's perimeter cuts are, so installers usually charge more for large-format chevron than for smaller sizes.
How much waste should I allow for chevron tile?
Plan for around 15-20% waste, similar to herringbone, to cover the mitered cuts required at room edges and corners.
Can 10x60 chevron be used with wood-look ceramic tile?
Yes — chevron is most commonly done in wood-look ceramic or porcelain planks, reproducing a mitered wood parquet chevron floor without real timber.
