Parquet blocks offer a multitude of designs not achievable with other solid wood floors. They are available in Oak, Walnut, Iroko, Jatoba, or Maple and can transform a room with their small but perfectly formed size, laid in a selection of different designs. Parquet blocks are steeped in history, with its fashionable era dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, around the start of the Edwardian period.
If you are interested in recreating this look, we suggest talking with an installer well versed in parquet block floor fitting, as it is not the easiest job to undertake yourself. Briefly, your subfloor has to be very level because the size of the blocks means they will not ride out any dips or raises, like a long plank might. The parquet blocks are stuck to the floor using an adhesive spread out with a trowel. A confident pace is required before the adhesive starts to dry. Once the floor is laid, the blocks are sanded using a sanding machine, then finished with an oil or lacquer.
