Parquet flooring is immediately recognisable with its distinctive geometric patterns and shapes. Blocks of flooring (rather than planks), were a very popular choice of flooring for wealthy homeowners in the early 1900s. It has now become more affordable and increasingly popular with anyone who wants a slightly different style of flooring. The most common pattern to lay parquet block flooring is ‘Herringbone’ but ‘Brick bond’ and ‘Basket Weave’ patterns can also be achieved. Parquet is the style of flooring and comes in various plank sizes. Pre-finished and unfinished planks are available with the latter allowing you to create bespoke colours and surface finishes.
