BREATHTAKING PARQUET FLOORING

Parquet floors really are the Royles Royce of flooring. A parquet floor is made up of individual pieces of wood put together to form a pattern. There are many types of parquet from finger block that normally looks like 5 pieces of Jenga together to your most commonly known herringbone flooring, chevron and Versailles panels.

 

The beauty of parquet is that is completely bespoke so the design really is endless. You can keep the floor all the same species, normally oak if it’s is a herringbone floor, or include a border of a different species such as walnut or wenge. The designs really are endless.

 

The introduction of engineered pre finished wood block and panels means that the size of the blocks can be a lot wider and longer than your traditional solid block. These are perfect for bigger rooms or multiple rooms as it helps extend the width and length and in truth stops the floor looking bitty. Simply put bigger rooms need a bigger block. It also gives customers the choice of having the floor finished off site and in turn more options in the finish such as smoked or ambered as well as stains.

 

Versailles panels are making a big comeback and look stunning when fitted. Although the cost of the panels will be more expensive the speed at which they are fitted in comparison to other forms of parquet starts to balance out the costings.
