Parquet Flooring
Comments (39)Lucky you - discovering a Parquet floor, this one is Pine, laid herringbone design, it has been previously sanded - not sympathetically though, you can see some chatter marks. Don't worry they will all come out - if you have it professionally sanded - Parquet is a specialist sand as the grain of the wood is not in all the same direction. It can be stained - I would reccommend a water based stain and finished in a clear matt lacquer. If you wanted to paint it white, you would need to treat all the knots with knot primer, followed by a floor primer, then a couple of coats of paint ie Farrow & Ball Personal recommendation a clear finish to highligh the knots and grain of your wood - using white accents Good Kuck - Elaine...See MoreHas anyone put down a parquet/herringbone floor in their kitchen
Comments (16)Hi Danielle, We have had many customers that have used engineered Herringbone in their kitchens with great success, we would recommend you look at lacquered boards as this will protect the board from any spillages and stains. This is our smooth Herringbone board fitted in one of our customers kitchens. This is our Lucerne Herringbone. This is our Pyrenees Herringbone that was recently fitted in our clients kitchen and hallways. This is our Walnut herringbone 600mm board This is our Brushed Herringbone If you go for a thick engineered board (18/5mm) then it will withstand the test of time. If you have any queries regarding any of our Herringbone board please feel free to email us at Info@floormonster.co.uk or call us on 0141 887 5698. We also have a live chat feature on our website!

Comments (3)Hello, Sounds like an exciting project! We would definitely recommend using porcelain tiles rather than ceramic, as ceramic tiles aren't frost proof so could shatter come winter, ruining all your hard work! A full bodied porcelain would be your best option, in a matt finish so it's not slippery. Porcelain is also suitable with underfloor heating, just ensure you use a flexible adhesive and grout. We have lots of grey porcelain options, which you can see on our website here. We're happy to send out free samples of our tiles and if you do have any questions, our sales team can help you out. Good luck with your project! Sophie // Floors of Stone...See MoreReclaimed Parquet - Modern Kitchen, help !!!
Comments (39)Unless you've got hours of spare time, I would avoid reclaimed parquet. I've just spent untold hours cleaning up a mix of reclaimed parquet I had in the loft (hard bitumen) and recently lifted parquet (wet bitumen) from our old extension before it was demolished. Although you can get glues that work with bitumen, you still need to ensure the blocks are relatively flat and clean. Worst thing is, although it looked like I had more than enough, some of it was unusable due to damage, so I'm now 3-4 sq metres short, and it's proving impossible to find the correct size and wood type. I didn't have a choice as the whole ground floor is herringbone parquet, so had to match it up, otherwise I'd have gone for new, it's not much different in price to reclaimed, and you don't need to clean it or sand everything level....See MoreBarney Rubble
