Parquetry flooring is made from small timber blocks arranged in geometric patterns, creating a visually striking and durable surface. Originating in 17th-century France as a luxurious alternative to marble, parquetry has become a staple in high-end homes, commercial spaces and heritage buildings worldwide.
Unlike traditional timber flooring, parquetry is laid in multi-directional patterns, reducing movement caused by humidity—making it ideal for Sydney’s climate. With a huge variety of patterns and timber species, parquetry floors complement both contemporary and classic interiors while adding long-term value to a property.
