Parquet flooring comprises of a large amount of small flooring pieces forming a pattern. Our floor men will carefully inspect the floors for loose blocks and hollowness, and take further steps on this stage, if required.

During the oak parquet flooring sanding the entire timber surface is going through a sanding process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to the application of the sealant & between the coats, for excellent results.

Parquet flooring installation requires years of experience, skills and the right carpentry equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.

In this project we fitted 85 sqm of oak parquet flooring, with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern with border around, over parquet flooring.

When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left on the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.

In this project the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 18 mm GP plywood before the floor fitting works.

Our works included approx. 85 sqm oak parquet flooring floor restoration and finishing in lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Junckers HT700 lacquer.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Richmond floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.

Overall, this floor installation project was completed as planned by our local to Richmond floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
