What is the difference between herringbone and Chevron backsplash?

Chevron and herringbone are the two patterns that are generally confused. Even though they look quite similar, there are major differences in the angle of the tiles. Chevron pattern is made where each individual tile must be cut at a 45’ angle, on the two ends of the tile. This technique creates an inverted ‘V’ pattern, showing sides that meet each other distinctly without interruption. Foremost, while forming a herringbone pattern, the rectangular tiles are not cut at 45- degrees but retain their rectangular forms. This technique creates a ‘W’ shaped zigzag pattern that resembles the bones of a herring fish, hence its name.

Which direction should Chevron tile be laid?

Chevron tiles offer a dynamic pattern that can be laid in various different ways according to the look you want to achieve. Being the most popular one, vertical installation creates a striking, upward movement. This dynamic look can easily create a focal point and add a dramatic touch to any kitchen. Moreover, this approach has the bonus of seeming that there is more headroom than there actually is.

This makes the space appear wider than its actual size and more spacious in all aspects. If none of these patterns appears to suit your design, you have the option of the diagonal layout, which is not quite horizontal or vertical.

Is Chevron tile hard to install?

Since the chevron is often sold as an integrated pattern, it can be considered slightly more complex to install. During the installation process, it requires professional accuracy to achieve a flawless symmetrical finish. When it comes to installing a Chevron tile backsplash, start by removing all of the hardware and electrical plug outlets. Then cover the countertop and cabinet with a plastic sheet. Make sure that the backsplash wall is smooth with no damage.

Once you have prepared the area, apply the mortar on the wall and start to put the tiles on top of it. Work in small sections to prevent mortar from drying. If you are using individual tiles, place spacers to set the tiles in place. If you are using chevron tiles that are attached to a mesh backing, you can place the spacers between the sheets of the tiles. After completing the installation, for the next 24-48 hours, you need to wait for the backsplash to completely cure. Next, remove the spacers and use a grout trowel to apply the grout at a 45-degree angle. Remove the haze on the tile surfaces with a damp sponge and allow the grout to dry. For the final step, to prevent discoloration, caulk the joint between the backsplash and the counter.
