FAQs – Parquet Flooring
Is parquet flooring hardwood?
Yes. Parquet flooring is made up of intricate patterns consisting of hardwood panels. Hence, it has all the distinctive qualities of hardwood flooring, including real wood aesthetics, natural textures, long lifespan, being warm underfoot, etc.
Can parquet flooring be refinished?
Yes. Parquet can be sanded and refinished the same approximate number of times as hardwood flooring. Yet, refinishing can deem challenging because of the inconsistent orientation of parquet panels. You may have to sand certain parts by hand to avoid cross-grain scratching.
How to install parquet flooring?
You can install this type of flooring by nailing, glueing, or stapling the parquet to the subfloor.
Is parquet better than engineered wood flooring?
Both types of flooring contain real wood, but they differ in designs and properties. If you are looking for classic and elegant patterns, parquet tiles are an ideal option to add a stylish edge. However, parquet is essentially hardwood and, therefore, more expensive and not resistant to moisture and humidity.
Similar in look and qualities to hardwood, engineered wood flooring is backed by a dense plywood core instead of coming in a single hardwood plank. It is more stable but lacks the artistic handcrafted designs of parquet.
