Parquet flooring consists of wooden planks cut into small pieces arranged in a repeated geometrical pattern in different styles. The most common forms of parquetry are herringbone and chevron, which have been around for centuries. Initially, the Ancient Roman Empire used the herringbone pattern by arranging bricks to make more stable roads. These patterns became more popular in Western Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries when they were first used as wood flooring. The chevron parquet flooring was installed in the Francois 1 Gallery at the Chateau de Fontainebleau in 1539.

UV cured oiled floors have revolutionised the prefinished flooring game, quickly becoming the world’s most superior timber flooring finish. There is a very common misconception around oiled floors vs UV oiled floors. A traditional oiled floor has an airdried oil finish, which needs to be reapplied after installation, and then replenished consistently (around every 12 months) throughout its life, or else it can dry out and become damaged or stained very easily. A UV oil finish is comprised of many layers of hard wax oil, that are cured between each layer, allowing the finish to solidify – much like a lacquered floor. Essentially, a UV oiled floor offers the best of both worlds; it is hard wearing and robust like a lacquer, and has the patch repairability of an oil, without the ongoing maintenance.
