Parquetry

The mosaic design of parquetry timber flooring has been used for centuries to create stunning and durable floors in the world’s most iconic buildings all the way through to family homes. Throughout this time, and across all its different manifestations, the parquetry floor has remained synonymous with intricate feature designs and creative craftsmanship. Always attractive as a floor covering, the appeal of wood parquet has endured as a symbol of quality and style.

Selecting which timber to use for parquetry flooring is often difficult as the most striking parquet effect is best achieved by using materials contrasting in colour and grain. Timbers such as European Oak, Brushbox, and Spotted Gum, for instance, are sought after to create that parquet effect. But personal taste, budget and timber availability will influence your ultimate combination of wood.

Parquetry floors can be installed in a number of configurations. Styles like Herrringbone, Chevron, Square on Square, and the intricate Marie Antionettee and Basket Weave patterns make poplular choices.
