Parquetry has been used as a hard wearing yet decorative floor covering for centuries. It is still as popular in the twenty first century as it was when it was used for the floors of grand fifteenth century cathedrals.

Parquetry is the perfect solution for heavy traffic areas such as halls, steps, entrance ways and even commercial interiors. Should a small section be seriously damaged, it can be easily replaced, and after years of wear the entire floor can be restored to as-new condition by sanding and resealing.

Boral parquetry is supplied in the popular block parquetry style. Block parquetry can be laid in any pattern using contrasting coloured timbers to create depth in the design. Blocks of timber are manufactured and then laid individually to create the chosen pattern. There are many popular patterns in Boral block parquetry. Alternatively, custom patterns or feature blocks can be created. See your local timber flooring showroom for the wide variety of patterns available.

Features and Benefits of Parquetry Flooring

• Timber is one of the world’s few truly renewable resources
• The natural insulation properties of timber lock out winter's cold    and summer's heat
• Parquetry is an extremely durable floor covering
• It is an excellent option for allergy sufferers because timber floors    do not harbour dust mites and other allergens
• It is easy to clean and maintain
• Parquetry is the perfect solution for heavy traffic areas such as    halls, steps, entrance ways and commercial interiors
• As with all solid hardwood timber floors, George Hudson Parquetry    is not recommended for bathrooms, laundries or for laying over    heated subfloors
• Should a small section be seriously damaged, it can be replaced    easily, and after years of wear the entire floor can be restored to as    new condition by sanding and resealing
• Can be laid down in countless patterns, limited only by the
   imagination

Grades available
Boral Parquetry flooring is available in two grades. Boral Timber Flooring meets Australian Standards and uses the aesthetic Boral Timber grading system shown below.

Grading is distinguished by selective gum veins, spirals, burls, insect trails and other natural features that give timber floors a unique character, as individual as a signature. Boral Timber Flooring is not graded for colour variation or grain patterns as they form part of the natural beauty of timber flooring.

Classic grade
Classic Grade is a subtle feature grade of timber flooring that provides a limited level of natural features. The lower levels of natural feature present the floor with a uniform look that is best suited to modern, minimalist styles.

Natural grade
Natural Grade is Boral Timber's rustic grade displaying a high level of natural features. This grade offers a unique, aged look with extenuated natural features and is well suited to both commercial interiors and traditional decors.

Installation

Boral Parquetry flooring is designed to be glued directly onto a level subfloor such as concrete, plywood, particleboard or an old timber floor.
