What is Parquetry Flooring?
Parquetry flooring is composed of wooden pieces arranged in a large variety of geometric, decorative patterns. A technique that dates back centuries, this results in unique, stunning floors that are sure to impress your guests. From famous sports stadiums to ancient cathedrals, you will find gorgeous parquetry flooring in many different locations all over the world.
Homeowners with an eye for creative and beautiful designs will find that parquetry flooring is perfect for them. It provides you with an abundance of patterns, which can fit in nearly every property. Whether in block or mosaic form, the individual design choices are limited only by the owner’s imagination and the installer’s skill. Few flooring materials are as versatile as parquetry, making it an increasingly popular choice in recent years.
From a more practical standpoint, parquetry flooring is more than a match for other materials in terms of durability. The blocks are highly resistant to wear, and with proper maintenance, have an excellent lifespan.

Block Parquetry
Block parquetry is the traditional choice for parquetry flooring in Perth homes, with large blocks perfectly complementing any design feature in your home or business. Typically ranging in size from 225mm to 500mm long, the blocks are manufactured to your specifications and laid individually on site to create the desired look whether it be in a herringbone, chevron or square on square pattern.
Block parquetry is available in most popular Australian and international hardwood species including Blackbutt, Jarrah, Tasmanian Oak, European Oak and Maple. Contrasting colours are often used within the same floor to create depth in the design.
