Parquet floors are created
by laying numerous small pieces of timber in a pattern
or design. Although they have never really been out of
fashion, they are currently experiencing a popularity unseen
since
the 1930’s.
Although there are a number of classic
parquet designs, Herringbone is without doubt the favourite
and is generally considered to be the most aesthetically
pleasing ~ especially when laid with a contrasting border
or tramline. Other well known patterns popular in domestic
properties are Brickwork and Basket weave
Broadleaf Parquet Blocks are
available in:
Prime Oak - practically knot free and highly colour consistent, this is the classic European Oak parquet floor - perfect for herringbone.
Rustic Oak - European Oak blocks featuring warm colour variation and some small knots which suit all patterns but are particularly suited to basketweave.
Tumbled Oak - a slightly aged block with worn edges, and a patina on the top surface reminiscent of glorious old parquet floors. Ideal for a classic herringbone or basketweave.
Rustic Beech - a dense grained timber varying in colour from pale cream to golden honey with some grey and brown streaks and occasional small knots. This more contemporary timber looks great in brickwork for a deco feel.
Panga Panga - a stunning exotic timber varying initially in colour from pale brown to almost black, but oxidising after sanding to give a fairly consistent black brown floor. In herringbone with a sycamore tramline it is truly show stopping.
Rhodesian Teak - a deep red timber with a chestnut brown ripple in the grain whose colour deepens in the weeks after finishing - a close modern alternative to mahogony and great for any of the classic designs.
The above are all classically proportioned and suitable for all traditional designs. With the exception of Tumbled Oak blocks they will require filling and sanding before sealing.
To complement these blocks, and create a truly individual design we can offer a selection of
borders and tramlines in dark, red and light timbers.
