Parquet is wood laid in a repeating geometric pattern instead of straight planks. We supply it in European oak, from herringbone and chevron to Versailles panels and inlays with curved borders, and we install it in Manhattan and Brooklyn apartments, townhouses and commercial spaces. Patterns Herringbone lays rectangular boards at right angles; chevron cuts the board ends at an angle so they meet in a point. Every floor in our library comes in both. For more formal rooms, we s

Our library floors come in planks from 6 to 14 inches wide, in random lengths of 6 to 10 feet or 10 to 16 feet, in 28 colors of European oak. Wide, long boards mean fewer joints, and the grain of each board reads across the room. Width, length and the room Wider boards suit larger rooms and long sight lines; in a narrow hallway, a board of 7 or 8 inches, or narrower, often looks better than a 14 inch one.

Herringbone or chevron Herringbone uses rectangular boards laid at right angles, so the end of each board meets the side of the next and the pattern steps in a zigzag. Chevron boards have their ends cut at an angle, any angle you choose, so they

A made-to-order floor from our partner manufacturers in Europe takes 12 to 14 weeks from order to delivery, including shipping. Stock floors ship in 1 to 2 weeks and quick-finish floors in 2 to 3. The steps below show where the 12 to 14 weeks go, so you can plan the installation date backwards from them. Approval and deposit The clock starts once the specification is final, any custom color sample is approved and the deposit is paid. A color revision or a late deposit moves e

For most New York apartments, engineered. In townhouses and houses with wood subfloors, either can work, and the choice turns on board width, floor height and how you feel about small gaps in winter. How the two are built A solid board is one piece of oak, usually 3/4 inch thick. An engineered board has an oak top layer, the wear layer, bonded to a core of cross-laid layers that resists swelling and shrinking. The surface you see and walk on is the same oak in both.
