Whether You Are Looking For
Parquet and Parquetry Flooring offers many technical advantages over conventional one-directional Timber Board Floors.
As all wood is hygroscopic (meaning it both gives off and uptakes atmospheric moisture through a range of seasonal conditions), Parquet Flooring, because it is most usually installed in a multi-directional pattern, reduces by 50% the amount of movement that is experienced through seasonal conditions.
As most of the Sydney Basin is regarded as a “High Humidity” area, Parquet has always been selected as the preferred form of Timber Parquet Flooring, especially anywhere that is right on Sydney Harbour.
Parquet Patterns and Designs are almost limitless, and when combined with Contrasting Inlaid Feature Ribbons or Solid Brass Inlay Work, stunning results can be achieved, which significantly appreciates the asset value of these properties for a lifetime presentation of beautiful Wooden Parquet Flooring.
Parquet floors in Australia usually cost between $100 and $250 per square meter, including GST and typical taxes, fully installed. They’re one of the pricier and more stylish flooring options you can choose for your home.
Yes, parquet flooring is a good idea because it looks stylish and elegant, adds a cosy feel to any room, and works well in both small and large spaces. It’s a versatile choice that can make your home look more inviting and unique.
Timber floors have several key benefits: they’re long-lasting and durable, easy to keep clean, don’t trap dust or allergens (so they’re great for allergy and asthma sufferers), and add natural warmth and style to your home. Timber is also good for insulation, eco-friendly, and can raise your property value.
After finishing your floor, wait at least 48 hours before walking on it. For the first 7 days, wear socks instead of shoes to protect the surface. Avoid placing rugs on the floor for at least 1 month to let the finish fully cure and harden. Treat your floor as “green” until it’s fully cured.
Parquet floors usually cost more than regular hardwood but can be cheaper over concrete subfloors since they don’t need extra plywood underlay.
Parquet uses shorter wood pieces arranged in patterns, while hardwood floors use long planks; both come from the same trees, but parquet is a stylish, durable way to recycle timber.
Parquetry usually costs more than solid floorboards because prices vary widely based on timber species, patterns, block sizes, installation style, room shape, and custom design options. The more complex and custom the parquet, the higher the price compared to standard solid floorboards.
A solid parquetry floor can last the lifetime of your home with proper care. Many THRUST FLOORS customers enjoy over 20 to 30 years of use before needing to resurface, thanks to durable coatings that protect the wood.
Parquetry floors are very easy to look after. Just use a dry electrostatic dust mop regularly to keep them clean. Good quality surface coatings make them durable, but it’s important to choose trusted products and suppliers to get the best results.
Yes, you can cover stairs with solid timber or parquet. Parquet is usually laid lengthwise on steps for safety and can include stylish nosings and decorative inlays.
