Oak Parquet Blocks Installation


Fitting East London 17 August 2017 5 photos
Showcase of our parquet floor laying service in East London. The blocks are cut from oak and laid in a herringbone pattern. The warm colour is achieved by using a medium oak stain.

Before

Probably the most important part of every wood floor installation project is the subfloor preparation. In the current case, we were about to install the parquet blocks over concrete, that was uneven. The best and fastest way to deal with such a problem is by using a self-levelling compound, as you can see in the first image. Once the concrete surface was smooth and flat, we could continue with the application of a DPM primer, which is creating better insulation against moisture.

After

The parquet blocks might be fit in various patterns, depending on the aesthetical preferences of the client. In this project, our clients decided to stick with the traditional choice of the herringbone pattern, which is something our fitters are very familiar with. The oak parquet flooring supplied by our company is unfinished, which is why this must be done on-site. The refinishing process requires sanding because it will smooth and level the surface. After the timber is sanded, the wood pores are open so they can soak better the finish. This process also included filling the gaps with a mixture from sawdust remains and resin filler. Then the floor is polished again with finer sandpaper grit, to prepare it for the final two stages of the process – the staining and sealing.

Our clients wanted their parquet flooring to be in some warmer tones, which is why we recommended them a stain in medium oak. For the last step, the owners left the choice in our hands, in a result, they ended up with the durable and hard-wearing lacquer - ‘Junckers HP Commercial’. We applied 3 coats, which should be enough to keep the floor vibrant with minimal wear for the years to come. It took 6 days for our team to finish this job.
