The details in your flooring can make all the difference, and bevelled edges are one of those subtle yet striking features that elevate a space. Bevelled edges create a small gap between planks or tiles, mimicking the aesthetics of real wood or stone and adding depth to your floor.
One of the most popular styles is V4 bevelled edge, where all four sides of each plank or tile have a defined edge. This creates a more realistic, authentic appearance that is suits both classic and contemporary interiors. Whether you’re considering luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or laminate, bevelled edges can bring character and realism to your living spaces.
Let’s explore the different types of bevelled edges, their benefits, and how to choose the best option for your space.
What is a Bevelled Edge?
A bevelled edge refers to a slight angled cut on the edge of a plank or tile. Unlike a square edge, which sits flush for a seamless finish, a bevelled edge creates a V-shaped groove between boards when installed.
This edge detail gives the floor more dimension and makes each individual board stand out more, helping to replicate the look of traditional hardwood or stone. Bevelled edges are commonly found on luxury vinyl flooring and laminate, enhancing both the look and overall feel of the floor.
If you love the look of real wood or stone but want a low-maintenance alternative, bevelled edge flooring offers the perfect balance of style and practicality.

Micro Bevelled Edge
If you love the look of individual planks but don’t aren't keen on deep grooves between them, a micro bevelled edge is the perfect middle ground. It’s more subtle than a standard bevel, adding just enough definition to highlight each board while keeping the overall look smooth and seamless.
This style is commonly found in Universal Rigid Click LVT and Karndean Van Gogh glue-down vinyl floors. It provides the perfect balance between modern minimalism and lifelike wood effect.
- Micro bevels offer a softer, more subtle plank definition
- Less dust buildup compared to deeper bevels
- Works well in both contemporary and classic interiors
Square Edge Floors
For those who prefer a completely smooth, uniform surface, square edge floors are the way to go. Unlike bevelled edge floors, square edge planks fit together without visible grooves to create a continuous flow throughout the room.
This style works well in modern, minimalist spaces where a sleek, uninterrupted look is key. If you’re after a high-end, polished finish, square edges provide a flawless appearance.
One great example is the Berry Alloc Ocean Retro Chic Blue Grey laminate, which blends classic tones with a seamless edge for a contemporary finish.
Is Bevelled Edge Flooring Right for You?
Choosing between bevelled, micro bevelled, and square edges depends on your style preferences and practical needs.
- V4 bevelled edges create a bold, authentic look, ideal for those who want to replicate natural wood or stone.
- Micro bevels offer a more subtle, modern effect, giving just enough definition without deep grooves.
- Square edges provide a completely smooth finish, perfect for contemporary spaces.
If you’re after a realistic, stylish floor with extra texture, V4 bevelled edge floors are a fantastic choice. For those who prefer something more understated, micro bevels or square edges may be a better fit.
