Examples of parquet designs
Examples of parquet designs
Because the parquet is machined to remarkably accurate dimensions in a modern machinery environment, in harmony with traditional parquetry skills, there is virtually no variation between one block-size and another. The result is a near perfect floor no matter what method of symmetry or configuration.

The occasional, and recurring, problems associated with laying wooden floors on larger than average floor areas, or even continuation from one room to another, is reduced significantly when parquet is the chosen medium.

Shrinkage and expansion of wooden floors occurs naturally. The ever-changing environment of a room, any room, within any building, such as temperature and humidity, will affect the performance of the wooden floor.

However, because our parquet is composed of dry, narrow and accurately machined pieces of wood, and laid differently from traditional flooring – the total area of the underside glued to the substratum, rather than nailed or the edges glued together – movement is ever so slight, in fact virtually non-existent.

The Hereford pattern (above) is a most unusual design in as much as it creates bunches of fleur-de-lis in a most pleasing arrangement when laid in numbers, though a single block of the pattern gives no hint of this. Note how the octagonal shapes, in walnut and mahogany, exactly line with the fleur-de-lis both diagonally and at right angles.
