For a real eye catching wood floor parquet blocks and parquet battens are a great choice. Parquet has come a long way since its use in 17th Century Palaces in Russia and China – and a lot more affordable too. A prominent feature in hallways and large rooms parquet flooring was considered an art, especially since engravings would be carved in every block to create large patterns sometimes covering the whole floor.

Nowadays it is much simpler to lay wooden parquet and our guide on laying parquet flooring makes the process even clearer.
