Parquet Flooring

Parquet can cost more to fit than straight plank flooring because decorative layouts take extra planning, cutting and alignment. The flooring itself spans different budgets, with real wood and wood-effect options such as laminate, LVT and EvoCore. Compare complete project totals, including preparation and finishing details. Our DWF team can help you find a patterned look that suits your budget and room.

Parquet is a good idea if you want the floor to add decorative character as well as colour and texture. Herringbone, chevron and panel-inspired designs suit a wide range of interiors. The practical choice depends on the construction, so compare room suitability, moisture performance, care and fitting requirements. Our parquet collection lets you explore real timber and wood-effect alternatives for different needs.

Parquet describes a patterned style, so its lifespan depends on the material. A well-maintained timber parquet floor can last for decades, with refinishing possible where its construction allows. Laminate, LVT and EvoCore parquet designs have different wear surfaces and product-specific expectations. Correct fitting and care are important for every type, and the selected product's warranty should be checked separately from its likely lifespan.

Check what your parquet floor is made from before mopping. Timber parquet needs a cleaner suited to its finish and only the moisture permitted by its care instructions. Laminate usually needs a barely damp mop, while LVT often allows damp cleaning. Avoid soaking joints or leaving standing water, and follow the individual product guidance rather than treating all parquet floors alike.

A parquet floor uses a repeating decorative arrangement rather than a simple straight plank layout. Familiar examples include herringbone, chevron and intricate Versailles-style panels. Traditional parquet is made from timber, but the patterned appearance is also available in laminate, LVT and EvoCore. At DWF, our parquet collection brings together these constructions so you can choose the style and practical features that suit your home.
