Parquetry

Parquetry

Pentarch Forestry offers block parquetry flooring, providing a distinctive and resilient surface finish. Block parquetry can be laid in any pattern, such as herringbone or brick bond, used as a decorative border, or in any design to create a truly unique floor.

As parquetry is extremely durable, it is ideal for high-traffic areas like halls, steps, entrances, and commercial interiors.

Pentarch Forestry hardwood timber products are Responsible Wood Chain of Custody certified, providing peace of mind that our products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal forestry.

Parquetry flooring can be glued down over concrete or timber subfloors, giving it a stable bond suited to both commercial and residential spaces.

It’s also built to last. Genuine timber parquetry can be sanded back and refinished multiple times, so a well maintained floor holds up for decades rather than needing replacement.

That durability, paired with pattern options like herringbone or brick bond, makes parquetry a stronger long term option than standard plank flooring in spaces where looks and resilience both matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes parquetry flooring a good choice for high traffic areas?

Parquetry flooring is built from small timber blocks that lock together in patterns like herringbone or brick bond, creating a surface that’s both decorative and extremely durable. Because of this strength, parquetry flooring holds up well in halls, entrances, and commercial interiors where foot traffic is constant, without losing its distinctive look over time.

Herringbone parquetry refers to a specific laying pattern where rectangular blocks are arranged in a zigzag design, creating a more structured and visually striking finish than a standard block layout. Herringbone parquetry is one of the most requested styles because it adds a timeless, elegant character to any room while still offering the same durability as other parquetry formats.
