Detailed Product Description

parquet  flooring/solid parquet flooring/engineered flooring

1Parquet flooring is a series of wood flooring pieces that create a geometric design.
For centuries wood parquet floors were desirable products available only to the rich. By the end of the 19th century, with the development of the steel nail, tongue and groove wood flooring was introduced. Although the flooring was inefficient (only the top 1/8 (3mm) of the ¾ (18mm) thickness is sandable/usable) it was a big progress at that time. At the end of the 1930s, with the development of concrete floors and flooring adhesives, mosaic straight edge (no tongue and groove) 5/16(8mm) thick construction was introduced. This much thinner product had the same sandable/usable thickness as ¾(18mm) T&G flooring.
