Panels and Parquet Flooring

Herringbone and chevron are the oldest and most requested parquet layouts. Herringbone sets rectangular blocks at 90-degree offsets, creating a staggered rhythm across the floor. Chevron mitre-cuts each piece so the joins meet in a continuous, angled line. Both bring movement, direction and architectural discipline to hallways, living rooms and reception spaces. For rooms that call for a grander compositional scale, Versailles panels and their French counterparts – Chantilly, Chenonceau, Petit Marly, d'Aremberg – can be used as assembled units. Multiple oak sections are set within a frame, then installed as a single panel to give the room a more formal sense of proportion. All Re:claimed parquet wood flooring is available in engineered or solid oak construction. Engineered boards pair a reclaimed or aged oak top layer with a European birch-ply base bonded with WBP waterproof glue. This construction gives the floor greater dimensional stability, makes it suitable for underfloor heating, and reduces the risk of seasonal movement. Solid oak parquet flooring is cut from a single section of timber. It is often the preferred choice where depth of material, traditional construction, and future refinishing are important. Finishes range from unfinished boards coloured on site to workshop-finished floors, hand-oiled or waxed to your specification. In either form, parquet remains a deliberate act of composition: geometry held in place by the grain, colour and age of the wood.
