How to Install Parquet Flooring

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Prepare the Subfloor
   • Must be perfectly level, clean, and dry.
   • Use a levelling compound if necessary.
2. Acclimate the Blocks
   • Store parquet blocks in the room for 48–72 hours.
3. Plan the Pattern
   • Mark the centre of the room and lay a dry run of the pattern (e.g., herringbone, chevron).
   • Ensure symmetry and alignment.
4. Apply Adhesive
   • Use high-quality parquet adhesive.
   • Spread evenly with a notched trowel.
5. Lay the Blocks
   • Start from the centre and work outward.
   • Press each block firmly and check alignment frequently.
6. Roll and Weight
   • Use a flooring roller to ensure adhesion.
   • Place weights if needed to prevent lifting.
7. Sand and Finish
   • Sand the entire floor for smoothness.
   • Apply protective finish (oil, lacquer, or varnish).

Care & Maintenance Guide for Engineered Wood Floors (Boards & Parquet)

1. Daily & Weekly Cleaning

• Sweep or Vacuum Daily
  Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment to remove dust and grit.
• Damp Mop Weekly
  Use a microfiber mop lightly dampened with water or a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner.
  Avoid excess water—engineered wood is moisture-sensitive.

2. Prevent Surface Damage

• Use Rugs and Mats
  Place mats at entrances and rugs in high-traffic areas.
• Furniture Protection
  Fit felt pads under chair and table legs to prevent scratches.
• Avoid High Heels & Pet Nails
  These can dent or scratch the surface.

3. Environmental Control

• Humidity
  Maintain indoor humidity between 40–60% to prevent expansion or contraction.
• Temperature Stability
  Avoid extreme temperature changes.

4. Spill & Stain Management

• Spills
  Wipe immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Stains
  Use manufacturer-approved cleaners; never use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

5. Long-Term Care

• Recoat When Needed
  Apply a fresh finish layer every few years if the surface looks dull.
• Avoid Sanding
  Engineered wood has a thin veneer; sanding can damage it.
• Parquet Specific
  For engineered parquet, check for loose blocks periodically and re-glue if necessary.

Extra Tips for Engineered Parquet

• Pattern Integrity
  Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the floor to prevent misalignment of blocks.
• Professional Refinishing
  If refinishing is needed, hire a professional to avoid damaging the pattern.
