PARQUET OR PARQUETRY ?

back to top

Just to keep it simple, let's say parquet is a floor crafted in accordance with the art of parquetry. Equally, a parquetry is a workshop ot factory that makes parquet floors.

FRENCH OAK OR EUROPEAN OAK ?

There is such a variety of timber floors to choose from, that it can be quite a daunting task. It becomes even more confusing when confronted with the choice of European Oak or French Oak.
When choosing certified French oak, you can be sure you are getting a supply from sustainably managed forests. While Euro oak sourced from Austria, Belgium or Germany is harvested in pretty much the same way, some other countries pratice clear felling. Apart from the environmental issues, the result is a lack of colour consistency in the supply. Younger trees also tend to shrink more in the drying process, as well as warp or cup, and sapwood is more frequent.
If you want wide solid floor boards, French oak is the only sensible choice, especially if sourced from Burgundy or the "Troncay" national forest.

SOLID OR ENGINEERED ?

Solid timber is the traditional choice for parquet floors, as it provides elaborate finishes (brushed, smoked, weathered, etc..) and is more competitively priced in narrow width.
With new trends heading towards wider boards, we can now supply engineered parquetry for width greater than 125 mm, and specific situations where thinness is an issue, such as laying on a heated slab, or apartments where an acoustic underlay is also required.
