Description

Our flooring Blocks/Battens are traditionally laid in a herringbone design with a 1 or 2 block border running around the perimeter of the room. Can be laid over concrete screeds or plywood sub floors. Once installed this floor needs to be sanded smooth and finished in your chosen finish (lacquer of flooring oil).

There are various reasons why you might choose engineered oak parquet flooring. It offers several advantages. Here's a list of compelling reasons:

  1. Durability: Engineered oak parquet is known for its durability, making it resistant to wear and tear. The engineered construction enhances its strength and longevity.

  2. Stability: Engineered flooring is less susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature compared to solid wood, making it more stable and less prone to warping or cupping.

  3. Versatility: Engineered oak parquet is suitable for installation in various settings, including areas where solid wood might not be recommended, such as basements, bathrooms or areas with fluctuating moisture levels.

  4. Cost-Effectiveness: While still offering the aesthetic appeal of solid oak, engineered parquet is often more budget-friendly, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious customers.

  5. Wide Range of Patterns: Engineered oak parquet comes in a variety of patterns, providing customers with numerous design options to match their preferences and interior decor.

  6. Environmentally Friendly: Many engineered wood products, including oak parquet, use sustainable and responsibly sourced materials, making them an environmentally conscious choice for eco-minded customers.

  7. Compatibility with Underfloor Heating: Engineered wood is generally more compatible with underfloor heating systems compared to solid wood, providing a comfortable and warm flooring solution.

  8. Easy Maintenance: Engineered oak parquet is relatively easy to maintain, often requiring simple cleaning and occasional resealing or refinishing to keep it looking its best.

  9. Increased Resale Value: Quality engineered wood flooring, including oak parquet, can add value to a home, making it an investment that pays off in the long run.

When choosing flooring, customers should consider their specific needs and preferences, and engineered oak parquet often proves to be a practical and attractive choice for many.
