PRODUCTS > Parquetry (Block & Mosaic)
There are two styles of parquetry which can be installed – Mosaic and Block.
Mosaic is the more traditional style of parquetry. It is created by arranging small “fingers” of selected timber in tiles, then changing the direction of these rows at consistent intervals. The result is a beautiful floor which is a feature in your home, not just a floor covering.
Block parquetry can be laid in any pattern using contrasting coloured timbers to create depth in the design. Blocks of timber are manufactured and are laid individually to create the pattern of your choice. There are many popular patterns that can be laid in block parquetry, or you can run wild with your imagination and design your own floor pattern or feature block.
Timber types
The following species are able to be obtained:
Blackbutt • Ribbon Gum • Brush Box • Rose Gum • Cypress • Spotted Gum • Ironbark • Stringybark • Jarrah • Sydney Blue Gum • Karri • Tasmanian Oak • New England Oak • Turpentine • Mahogany
Direct Stick
Blocks are stuck directly to the sub-floor.
On Underlay
Blocks are installed on a masonite flooring underlay that has been secured to a suitable sub-floor.
Styles
There are a large variety of sizes and thicknesses and timber species are both imported and local.
Patterns
These are only governed by your imagination. We are able to produce most patterns upon request. Borders can be incorporated into the installation.
Sanding
After our floors are professionally installed they are sanded and three heavy coats of polyurethane are applied.
