ARE ALL PARQUET FLOORING THE SAME?

No, they are not, but parquet flooring is perfect for indoor use. It comes in smaller dimensions, ranging from 17mm (thickness) by 72mm (width) to 24mm (thickness) by 48mm (width), which makes parquet ideal for use in compact spaces or unique layouts. There are also different patterns for arranging parquet slabs. Some popular designs include herringbone and chevron patterns.

TELL US MORE ABOUT TONGUE AND GROOVE TEAK FLOORING.

Tongue and groove is a type of joint for wood flooring. It requires a specific installation method, where wood pieces are fitted edge to edge and joined seamlessly. This method can be used for interior and exterior spaces, including in the living room, bedrooms, pool decks and gardens, as well as for staircases, pillars and even ceiling and wall claddings, making wood an extremely versatile material to work with. This requires the use of lengthier wood strips – up to 1,650mm – and is great for larger floor areas.

IS WOOD FLOORING SAFE FOR USE AT HOME, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ELDERLY AND YOUNG CHILDREN?
