Parquet wood flooring

Parquet flooring blocks are usually manufactured from the smallest pieces of wood flooring.

This is a very traditional style of wood flooring often used very effectively in period and older style properties, particularly true when laid in patterns such as herringbone, brick weave, or featuring mixed species and when used in conjunction with decorative borders or medallions.

Mixed flooring substances can be used to great effect - but care needs to be taken to not overdo the use of marble, slate or other inlays.

Parquet floors can be laid direct to the sub floor or onto constructed floors made from plywood or similar materials. In all cases we recommend a full stick down approach with Sikabond professional wood flooring adhesive.

The most common wood species used in parquet flooring is oak and the parquet blocks are usually available in a mix of left or right sided tongue and groove options to enable easier construction and jointing when creating the patterns.
