With a timeless beauty that emphasises the stunning decorative possibilities of wood floors, created using traditional techniques parquet flooring is an excellent choice for any style of property.
The word parquet originates from the French word ‘parqueterie,’ which was the practice of laying large diagonal squares used first at the Palace of Versailles. Parqueterie was used because the constant washing of marble flooring rotted the joists beneath the floors. The benefits of choosing a parquet floor today include the durability and beauty of the finished product. In addition, little maintenance is required to keep your parquet wood floor looking its very best.
The French oak hardwood blocks used in parquet flooring can be placed in a variety of patterns to emphasise and enhance any space. The blocks are cut in geometrical patterns, with the most popular being herringbone.
We stock sustainable French oak blocks in a variety of sizes. These are machined to precise standards to create interlocking joints and providing a thick-wear layer to give maximum strength and durability.
