Imagine walking into your home and discovering the rich warmth and elegance of parquetry.
Parquetry flooring is a centuries-old technique, which has been used to create some of the most stunning floors in the world. From stately homes and cathedrals, to hotels and sports arenas, parquetry is quite simply the best money can buy. Apart from its aesthetic qualities it’s incredibly hard wearing, all natural, sourced from sustainable forests, easy to care for and offers you an stunning choice.
Enjoy natural timber block or mosaic parquetry that will stand the test of time and be enjoyed for generations. Create an individual masterpiece or design a classical look – parquetry offers limitless options: patterns, features borders, timber species, colour and finishes can be tailored to enhance the look of your home or business.
Mosaic parquetry is made up of small solid-wood fingers. They can be made into square panels in the design of your choice. Additional feature strips and borders are often added to give an original look. The most common block size is 134mm long x 22mm wide x 9mm thick.
Create your own, stunning, individual floor designs, or choose from a vast selection of set patterns. With traditional block parquetry, you have the freedom to design whatever you want. Normally laid in single blocks, the most common block size is 260mm x 65mm x 14mm or 19mm thick.
Timber comes in two different grades; classic or natural grade.
Natural grade celebrates the distinctive markings that occur naturally in timber, like gum veins, insect trails and knots. Natural grade will produce a floor with natural character and rustic charm. The amount and type of natural features in your parquetry floor may vary according to the timber species selected.
Classic grade is an understated grade of timber flooring which exhibits minimum natural features creating a sleek, contemporary, more formal look. Parquetry is a natural timber and is, therefore, not suitable for use externally or in wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries.
Choose from a wide variety of timbers, each with their own natural grain characteristics and colour, to suit your individual taste.
