Design Parquet: engineering one of the most stable solid floors

Still one of the most admired types of wood flooring is the "Design Parquet", available in many patterns. From single or double herringbone, two or three strips basket weave to the most elaborate "Versailles" tiles. A feature in many restored castles, old manor houses and nowadays more and more to be found in modern homes.

Most of the patterns come in hand pre-fabricated tiles stuck on paper to make the installation process more efficient (and of course to not to ruin the pattern!)

Tile after tile is carefully assembled and numbered

After installation this paper is sanded off, tiny gaps are filled and the appropriate finish is applied. Some patterns will be installed from scratch at your premises (like herringbone, chevron, plait, basket weave).

The selection in wood-types is almost endless, from European Oak (various grades), American Red Oak, Maple to Afzelia, American Walnut and Teak. Most wood types are from well managed forest complying with the F.S.C and.or P.E.F.C. standards. The thickness is 10mm.
All patterns can be installed as complete floors, or as accentuating tiles within a simpler pattern. In our Design Parquet Range leaflet you will find high resolution images of most wood-species available.

Underfloor heating is in most cases not a problem, again due to the "tickness" of only 10mm and small individual pieces it is one of the very few Solid wooden floors you can install on UFH without any problems later on (of course, if you keep to the instructions of use supplied by your UFH system supplier).
