Learn more about parquet flooring

When was parquet flooring first used

Parquet is a style of wood flooring that originated in France and can be traced back to the mid to late 1600s.


Its name is derived from the French word parqueterie, a patterned wood inlay used to cover a floor. Parquet flooring was notably used in 1684 within the Palace of Versailles so was considered a luxury of the highest order and an art form.


In days of the past, parquet flooring was used to replace or cover cold floor tiles, and this unique style of wood flooring remains as popular today as it was then.

What wood is parquet flooring made of?

Traditionally parquet flooring was a solid wood flooring that was created from a wide variety of hardwoods such as, walnut, pine, oak, and maple. Due to the lack of technology available, and the challenge to manufacture in larger pieces such as planks, they used small blocks of solid wood parquet that could be interlaced to create the desired patterned floor. 100% Solid wood parquet and parquet style flooring is widely used to this day as it offers an expansive choice of modern and traditional designs that can suit many budgets and interior fashions. Engineered wooden flooring is made from layers of different types of wood, topped by hardwood. The most popular designs in parquet style flooring are the herringbone floor, the chevron floor, and the basket-weave designs which all offer an eye-catching, classic parquet flooring texture and finish. When you buy parquet style wood flooring, there are many options to how you can achieve your overall look. Be it a lacquered or an oil finish, through to the many varieties of wood stains on offer as well as the choice of size and thickness to your wood blocks to create your bespoke wood flooring.

When to use parquet flooring?

The increasing popularity and range of parquet floors from contemporary through to traditional such as oak parquet flooring, offer many options for where and when best to use this style of wood flooring throughout your home or commercial space. The recognisable v-shaped and angular design of the chevron floor pattern will enhance all rooms, especially small or narrow places where it will create an expansive feeling by extending and elongating the area. An example of this would be similar to a classic school corridor which is usually long and narrow. The parquet style flooring that runs through the length of a narrow space will fully open any proverbial closed doors with a clear message to encourage continual movement, with its arrow-like points, directing your path along within the room.

What Style Is Herringbone Flooring?

The most popular of all parquet flooring texture is the herringbone and engineered herringbone flooring. It was one of the most in-demand flooring trends for the last 5 years and remains one of the most popular choices in 2020. The herringbone floor design was first created and used during the Roman Empire, its solid patterned floor was durable, robust, and reliable when building their long and straight roads. The herringbone floor design coined its name due to how it resembles that of fish bones. When assembled in a zigzag design, it creates an almost mosaic-like pattern. The herringbone floor is sometimes referred to as the mosaic-style floor due to its visual similarity.
