LVT Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring is a decorative flooring style made by arranging small wood blocks into geometric patterns. The word “parquet” originates from the French term parqueterie, referring to the decorative wooden floors commonly used in European palaces during the 17th century.

Traditional parquet floors were typically crafted from hardwood species such as oak, walnut or maple and laid in intricate patterns. These floors became particularly popular in grand homes and historic buildings because of their distinctive appearance.

Today, parquet flooring has seen a major revival in modern interior design. Homeowners increasingly choose parquet patterns to add visual interest and character to living spaces.

With LVT parquet flooring, the classic style of traditional parquet can be recreated using luxury vinyl planks or tiles. These products are manufactured to replicate the appearance of real wood blocks while offering improved durability, moisture resistance and easier installation.

This means homeowners can enjoy the look of parquet LVT flooring without the challenges associated with maintaining traditional wood parquet floors.

Parquet (or herringbone) and chevron flooring both create a striking patterned look, but the way the planks are laid is different.

Parquet or herringbone flooring uses rectangular planks installed at 90-degree angles to create a staggered zigzag effect. Chevron flooring, on the other hand, uses planks that are cut at an angle so they meet at a point, forming a continuous V-shaped pattern.

Herringbone parquet tends to look slightly more textured and traditional, while chevron offers a sharper, more uniform visual flow.

One of the beauties of having LVT parquet flooring is how easy it is to maintain and looking as good as new with next to little maintenance. By simply brushing the floor and mopping it following the manufacturers guidelines you can renew your floor within minutes.
