An art that dates back to 16th century France, parquetry flooring has been described by some as the superior flooring choice. Versatile, timeless, and equally contemporary, parquetry flooring pays homage to history and creates a sense of grandeur with every application.
Seen in various patterns and forms, traditional parquetry flooring was formed with individual wood blocks in varying sizes and colours laid in different geometric patterns. Although mostly featured in grand European palaces and chateaux, more and more people are opting to add personality to their homes with parquetry flooring.
Timeless design
From parquet de Versailles, to chevron and herringbone patterns, the timelessness of parquetry flooring makes it suitable for any style of home. From elaborate estates, to minimalist apartments, and country farmhouses, parquetry has the ability to elevate any space, bringing with it beauty and a sense of warmth.
Arguably one of the most popular parquetry designs today, the herringbone pattern creates a real statement. Our customers love our Everwood European Oak Provincial Parquetry herringbone flooring range, and it has brought us so much joy to see this timeless art form feature in their homes.

Parquetry through the eyes of new technology
While natural timber is the preferred source for parquetry flooring, advances in technology have allowed for tile manufacturers to explore the beauty of the craft by creating tiled alternatives. And boy have they nailed it.
With the appearance and texture of genuine timber, you would be mistaken thinking these creations are the real deal. What makes porcelain parquetry-look tiles even more incredible, is the durability they will serve in your home or commercial fitout. You won’t need to worry about scratching, staining, or the need to sand-back – they’re porcelain and basically maintenance free.
