Parquet Hardwood Flooring

Posted on

Parquet hardwood flooring has a very different look from typical hardwoods. They were originally made up of many small pieces of exotic woods arranged in intricate geometric patterns. Modern parquet hardwood flooring consists of solid tiles of wood pre-arranged in patterns, making it easy to install. Parquet hardwood flooring is generally the cheapest, however it is harder to refinish than other solid wood floors and its life span is relatively shorter.

Parquet hardwood flooring comes in many designs, ranging from the basic parquet, to basket weave and herringbone. They come in large tiles made up of geometric patterns composed of individual wood slats, held in place by a paper or plastic mesh backing. The visual effects of parquet hardwood flooring can be quite stunning, and variety can be brought to the room simply by moving a rug of piece of furniture to expose of cover different patterns.

Parquet flooring can be attached to either a wood or concrete sub-floor, however concrete sub-floors often require an underlay to help compensate for any unevenness. Because the smaller pieces arranged in different directions result in less overall cross-grain expansion, parquet is a good choice in areas where the moisture content of the flooring is expected to change significantly over time.

Parquet hardwood flooring comes in a variety of woods such as oak, cherry, mahogany, beech and walnut. It is a good idea to make a dry run of the pattern you want to lay out by laying a test arrangement before permanent installation.

The wood tiles should be stored in the room they are to be installed in for at least 24 hours so they can acclimate to the temperature and humidity. You should buy about 5% more flooring than you calculate that you will need, to compensate for any mistakes. The extra material, if not needed, could come in handy later in case of damage.

Unlike strip or plank flooring, parquet flooring is laid in two directions at once. Parquet hardwood flooring should be laid by starting in the center of the room and working outwards toward the walls. This establishes a centered and well aligned geometric pattern.

Find the center of the room by measuring from wall to wall. Snap a chalk line between the center of opposite walls, then snap another chalk line between the other two walls. The intersection between the two lines is the center point. Make sure the two intersecting lines form right angles. Lay a test run of parquet along the chalk lines starting at the center, working toward the wall. Adjust the center to keep the tiles on the edges of the room from being cut too thin.

Using a trowel, spread adhesive on a 2′ x 2′ area at the intersection of the chalk lines and let it thicken and become tacky. Pressing firmly, lay down a tile on the adhesive using the lines for placement. Ensure the placement of the first tile is accurate, as it will determine the layout of the entire floor. Tap the tile into place with a mallet, placing a piece of scrap wood on top to protect the tile. If any adhesive seeps between the tiles, clean with a cloth soaked in solvent. Working toward each wall, fill in one quadrant at a time. To avoid putting your weight on any one tile, use a piece of plywood as a kneeling board.

The last tiles against the wall will need to be cut to fit. They should be cut slightly smaller than the measured space to allow for expansion of the wood. A ¼” – ½” space is usually sufficient. Allow the new parquet hardwood floor to dry for a least a day before using.

Sanding and Sealing Hardwood Floors and Parquet Floors

Tips and advice on Sanding and Sealing parquet floors

This is a guide to follow please take time to read and understand and preferably seek more advice if needed.

Once you have finished laying your parquet floor blocks or hardwood floor start by using a 50 grit sand paper and work diagonally across the floor always with the grain of the floor. If you are sanding an old floor then use a lower grit of 36 to take off the old lacquer you can go all ways over the floor when taking off old lacquer but always finish by going with the grain diagonally across the floor. Once you have finished going over the floor once with a 50 grit sanding belt go round the edges with the edger in 50 grit sanding disk. Then repeat go round the edges working up the grits 50 grit then 80 grit then last of all 100.

Go all over the floor with a 80 grit on the big belt sander then repeat once over with a 100 grit always diagonally across the floor switching witch diagonal to take each time.so once one way then up a grit and go diagonally the other. Once you have the whole floor up to 100 grit then fill. Mix up resin filler with the sanding dust out of the edger it is a finer dust. Then with a filling knife fill the whole floor making sure you push the filler down the cracks “the more the merrier”. Preferable leave to dry over night or three to four hours. Finish the floor with a final sand of 120 grit making sure all filler is removed and sanding with the grain diagonally. Clean the floor when finished with a hover, clean all skirtings and window ledges making sure all dust is up leave about half an hour for dust to settle then tack the whole floor with tack cloth or wet cloth.

Now ready for finishing, I recommend a water base lacquer like bona mega or similar or for high traffic areas bona traffic or similar. Start by applying lacquer to the edges with a brush then on to rolling out the lacquer with a roller on a pole, use a short mole haired roller and spread the laquer consistently. Don’t leave any big puddles of lacquer as this will show and take longer to dry. Cover the whole floor and leave to dry for about two hours then repeat and cover floor again using same process and leave over night. In the morning the laquer should be dry and ready for a light sand preferably with a screen machine or a fine sand by hand 150 grit or higher. Hover clean and wipe with tack cloth or wet cloth.

Then on to final coat repeat as before making sure this time you are perfect as this will not be sanded back. “Voila” you are finished preferably leave over night and that’s it, thanks for reading, if you’re interested in having a parquet floor please check out my website. if you need any more information please check out http://www.parquetflooringandcarpentry.co.uk

How to Install Cork Parquet Tile Flooring

Posted on

Parquet Flooring | This how to guide is designed for the intermediate do-it-yourselfer. If you’re a beginner in this technique it’s recommended that you find another how-to guide or visit our website for a more detailed guided; which is available at the end of this article. However, if this is something you’re a bit familiar with then this guide will suit you just fine. It’s suggested you read this entire guide before you do any of the steps listed. So, if you’re ready to get started and install cork parquet tile flooring yourself then continue below.

Step One: Prepare Subfloor for Tiles

The first step is to make sure you prepare your sub floor properly. You’ll need to make sure the sub floor is clean and level. Any low spots in your sub floor can be filled with the appropriate filler. Any high spots should be sanded down with care; you don’t want to then have to fill it in because you sanded it down too much. A level will aid you in this quite well.

Step Two: Apply Primer to the Subfloor

Regardless of what type of subfloor you have you’ll need to use a primer. You’ll need a paint tray (unused) and a paint roller. You will use the paint tray to hold the primer and the paint roller to apply it. Using the manufacturers guide regarding working in proper temperature and humidity the primer should dry in about 30 to 40 minutes. Remember, your primer must be completely dry before you apply the adhesive.

Suggestion: It’s a good idea to use a primer specially designed for cork floor tiles or any primer provided with the cork floor itself.

Step Three: Apply the Adhesive to the Subfloor

The next step is to apply the adhesive to the subfloor. You’ll need a fresh and clean paint tray and paint roller. The trick is to only do about 50 square feet at a time. You’ll want to apply a (thin) coat on your 50 foot square area. A uniform glossy film will tell you you’ve used the correct amount of adhesive, using too much will result in lumps. DO NOT step onto or place anything on the adhesive until it’s dry; use the manufactures guidelines to determine the length of time needed. Once dry that 50 foot area tiles must be installed within an hour. You NEVER want to lay tiles on wet adhesive.

Step Four: Lay the Cork Parquet Tiles

IMPORTANT: It’s suggested that you leave your cork parquet tiles in the area of installation out of the box for a minimum of 72 hours. This allows the cork parquet tiles to adjust to the temperature and humidity of the area and prevent warping and cracking.

When placing your tiles you’ll want to use a standard laying pattern, if you don’t have one you can Google “standard floor laying patterns” and choose one to your liking. Make sure when laying the cork parquet tiles that you mix the tiles from different cartons. This will help maintain a natural color and keep pattern variation alive. Make sure to keep about one forth an inch expansion space between your tiles and the walls.

Step Five: Roll the Cork Parquet Tiles

As each tile is laid it should be rolled over with a mini roller usually one should be supplied with your order. After installation is complete you must then use a 100-pound 3 part floor roller and roll the entire floor several times from several directions. After sitting for about 12 hours you should then repeat this process. After completing the rolling you should avoid walking on the floor for 24 hours.

Parquet Flooring – Is it For You?

Posted on

Parquet Flooring | When thinking about remodeling, today’s families are looking for smarter, less expensive ways to beautify their living spaces. When it comes to flooring, the options are endless and can be one of the most costly and daunting decisions of the remodel. While there are many options to choose from such as carpet, tile, even concrete, parquet flooring is another option sometimes overlooked. It is a durable product that is not difficult to install and can last for decades, making it a reasonable and beautiful upgrade for any room in the house, from the kitchen to the basement. Parquet flooring can be installed over concrete as well as existing hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile, making it an easy DIY project.

Parquet flooring hails all the way back to 1684, when it replaced marble in Versailles, France. The marble flooring used prior to this had to be cleaned constantly, and the water would run down to the under- lying floor supports,  causing them to rot. Parquet, noted for its beauty and strength was also easier to clean, thus its use spread quickly. Today parquet flooring comes in solid parquet and parquet panels, using different types of wood such as oak, pine, mahogany, and walnut. Solid parquet is blocks of wood glued down into different patterns, the most recognizable being the herringbone pattern. It is usually between 3/4″ to 5/8″ thick and is glued down, as opposed to nailing, as was traditionally done with hardwood flooring. Parquet panels are veneers of hardwood glued onto less expensive wood, such as plywood. The veneer (also called the wear layer) can be between 1/4″ thick to 1/16″ thick and is installed with glue using the tongue and groove joints.

The cost of parquet flooring is just one of its alluring features. There is parquet for all budgets and needs. It runs from $0.99 per square foot to more than $60.00 per square foot, depending on the type of parquet,  either solid or veneer, the woods chosen, and the thickness of the wood. Solid parquet is more expensive, but can be sanded down and refinished throughout the life of the floor, whereas sanding or refinishing the parquet panels may take the finish down to the cheaper wood underneath. Great caution should be used to keep from ruining the flooring. Medallions are also available, and while they are usually quite expensive, they are beautiful pieces of art and there are no limits as to design. The cost is usually between $1,300 to $3,500, depending on the size and the types of woods used. Medallions use some of the most exotic woods, which add greatly to their cost. The care of parquet flooring is easy and usually only requires a damp mop to keep them looking their best.

The warranties for parquet flooring vary. Some of the solid wood parquets come with lifetime coverage while the less expensive panels can go up to 25 years, depending on the thickness of the veneers.

Just for fun, one of the most famous parquet floors started its journey in 1946 as the floor of the original Boston Arena, home of the Celtics. In 1952 it was moved, completely intact, to Boston Garden and was used there by the Celtics until 1995, when it took yet another trip to what was known as the Fleet Center, now known as TD Garden. The floor was in use until 1999 when it was cut up and partially sold as souvenirs, as the Boston Garden was torn down in 1998. Today the Celtics play on a truly special parquet floor inside TD Garden that combines some of the old sections of the original floor and the new.

When choosing new flooring, parquet can be just the thing to finish that remodel beautifully.

Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring is made up of square pieces of wood in a geometric design. Parquet flooring offers a variety of design options. There are several types including laminate, parquet bamboo, multilaye, solid parquet, lamparquet, mosaic, etc. The collection of parquet includes maple, beech, cherry tree and oak classics, and dark wood types.

Parquet flooring has several advantages. It can be cleaned easily and has durability against spills and stains. It has environmental advantages over carpeting and synthetic based floor systems. It is easy to maintain. If the flooring begins to show signs of damage, the outside can be renewed by applying light sanding and re-sealing using varnish. Parquet flooring is installed directly over a concrete basement.

There is a high demand for prefabricated parquet. Beech is the most popular type of wood used and is preferred over oak. Prefabricated parquet is now available with pre-oiled, waxed or finished surfaces. Product developers aim to make the surfaces as easy to care and scratch resistant as possible. Consumers normally demand light colors. Strip flooring is the method of installation recommended by manufacturers.

In earlier days, parquet was made of strips of wood affixed into square blocks. This type of flooring was extremely sensitive to moisture and would bulge and collapse when exposed to humidity. Today, parquet flooring is made of plywood or a hardwood and is given a laminated finish. This flooring is resistant to moisture and can be installed even at the basement level.

Parquet flooring is seeing a revival in the market. With the increase in health and environmental consciousness more and more customers are returning to parquet flooring.

Pilih parquet solid atau laminate

Solid Flooring : Bahan untuk lantai yang terbuat dari kayu asli, bukan triplek, bukan HDF, juga bukan lapisan. Bahannya bisa dari kayu jati, Mahoni, Merbau, Kruing dll.

Kelebihan dari bahan ini dari segi keawetannya,mengandung senyawa tektikuinon yang berasal dari alam,sehingga tingkat kekebalan terhadap rayap sangat baik, untuk kelas kayu jati dan merbau ketahanan terhadap rayap sangat baik,bisa tahan puluhan tahun,bahkan dalam beberapa kasus bisa ratusan tahun, seperti terlihat pada rumah2 belanda, atau bantalan kereta api.

Kelebihan lainnya adalah bisa di revinish ulang sampai beberapa kali,sehingga apabila dalam lantai kayu sudah kusam bisa di revinish ulang,dan akan terlihat seperti baru lagi.

Kekurangannya yaitu,proses pemasangan memakan waktu yang lama,warna cenderung tidak rata,walaupun untuk kualitas kayu export.

Laminate Flooring : Bahan untuk lantai yang terbuat dari serbuk kayu dibikin papan dengan cara di press disebut HDF sejenis MDF ( HDF= High Density Fiber). Kemudian salah satu permukaannya di tempel dengan plastik bermotif kayu dengan cara dilaminasi. Jadi jenis Laminating ini bukan kayu asli, tapi kayu tiruan.

Kelebihan dari parquet laminate adalah dalam proses pemasangan sangat cepat,warna secara keseluruhan rata,karna hasil dari rekayasa pabrik,Tapi jangan takut,biarpun hasil rekayasa,namun setelah terpasang benar2 menyerupai kayu asli,lapisan atas untuk kelas AC4 ke atas sudah tahan gores dengan IP rata2 9900.sehingga ketika kita menarik barang atau furniture di atasnya tidak akan berbekas.

Kekurangannya parquet laminate hanya sekali pakai, menurut pengalaman kami produk dengan teknologi jerman lebih awet, kami pernah merevisi yang umurnya sudah sampai 7th kondisi parquet masih layak dipakai, hanya ada beberapa bagian saja yang rusak dan perlu di ganti. Aapabila ada kerusakan di bagian tengah untuk menggantinya harus di bongkar semua.susut muainya tinggi. Dengan kelembaban yang tinggi parquet jenis ini lebih cepat mengembang.

Pilihan kembali di tangan anda, anda mau pilih yang mana. Sesuaikan dengan kebutuhan masing-masing.
