First, let’s talk about the basics. Parquetry refers to the geometric arrangement (i.e., mosaic) of wood pieces to achieve a decorative effect while also providing for the benefits of durability; strength and stability expected in wooden floors. Parquet patterns are completely angular and geometrical in triangles; squares, and lozenges; natural and curved shapes are the domain of marquetry.

Parquet floors are classified in several ways including composition; wood material, and grade. These should be considered; when choosing the right parquet flooring; such as making the choice between ash and oak floors for homes; offices, and retail spaces, even in gyms.

In terms of composition, parquet flooring products come in:

  • Classical composition with patterns like brick, diagonal basket, square basket, single herringbone, and double herringbone.
  • Mosaic composition with creative patterns that customized; although the ready-to-install patterns are already beautiful in appearance. Examples include patterns that evoke stairs; stars, and basket weaves, among others.

Parquet floors from Solidfloor come in two wood varieties:

  • Oak floors are the most reliable type because of their excellent mechanical properties; innate durable construction, and beautiful appearance. Slavonian oak is the; type used by Solidfloor here.
  • Ash floors come in white to pale yellow hues. With its bright appearance and durable hardness coupled with its great strength, ash floors are suitable for high-traffic areas including stores; gyms, and schools although many homeowners also prefer them in their homes.

Parquet flooring products are usually adhered with cold adhesives. Bear in mind that professional installation is a must for these wooden flooring products to ensure that their beauty, durability and stability are intact upon application.
