What is Parquet Flooring?
Parquet wood flooring consists of small wood pieces arranged in repeating patterns. These geometric designs offer visual interest, durability, and the ability to personalize your floor with a wide range of wood species, tones, and layout styles. Many clients choose parquet flooring for its long lifespan, rich character, and ability to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Parquet Flooring Patterns & Designs
The distinctive look of parquet flooring comes from its repeating designs. We install every major style of parquet floor pattern, including:
Herringbone Parquet Flooring
A timeless pattern featuring rectangular wood pieces placed in alternating directions. Herringbone wood flooring adds movement and structure to any room. Our herringbone wood floor installation services are available in both solid wood and engineered options.

Chevron parquet flooring uses wood planks cut at precise angles so the ends meet in a continuous “V” shape. This creates a clean, modern appearance. We offer chevron wood flooring options in solid, engineered, and chevron-engineered wood flooring.
Versailles Panels
A traditional French pattern featuring squares, diagonals, and woven layouts. Ideal for luxury homes, formal spaces, and historic properties.
Basket Weave
A classic pattern with alternating horizontal and vertical blocks that resemble woven material.
Brick Pattern
Simple rectangular pieces arranged in an offset pattern. Works well in narrow hallways or long rooms.
Mosaic & Custom Wood Floors
For clients seeking an individualized design, we can arrange parquet blocks in custom layouts. Our team offers a wide variety of wood species, stains, borders, and color tones to help you create a pattern that fits your vision.

Parquet Flooring Installation Process
We follow a detailed process to ensure your parquet flooring is installed accurately and with lasting quality.
Consultation & Pattern Planning
Our hardwood floor specialist meets with you to select materials, pattern style, color tone, and layout. We evaluate your subfloor and room conditions to determine the ideal installation method.
Subfloor Preparation
A smooth and level subfloor is essential for parquet flooring. We inspect, repair, and prepare the surface before beginning installation.
Precision Layout
Patterns such as herringbone parquet flooring, chevron wood flooring, and Versailles panels require exact measurements and alignment. Our experienced installers map the layout to maintain consistent spacing and direction throughout the room.
Installation
Depending on the material type, we may use glue-down or nail-down installation methods. Engineered parquet flooring and vinyl parquet options often offer faster installation for busy households and commercial spaces.
Sanding, Staining & Finishing
For unfinished wood flooring, sanding and finishing take place on-site. Clark’s Hardwood Floors uses an advanced atomic dust-free system that removes airborne dust at the source. We then apply Bona stains and finishes in your chosen tone and sheen.
Final Inspection
Once installation is complete, we walk through the space with you and explain ongoing care and maintenance tips.
Parquet Flooring Repair, Refinishing & Replacement
We provide full-service care for parquet floors of any age or design.
Parquet Floor Repairs
Common repair services include:
- Replacing loose or damaged parquet blocks
- Fixing water damage
- Wood patching
- Subfloor repairs
- Restoring uneven sections
Our team works carefully to match the existing pattern, species, and stain.
Parquet Floor Refinishing
Over time, parquet wood flooring may show wear, scratches, or dullness. Our refinishing services include sanding, staining, and sealing using advanced dust-free equipment. This service helps restore the original look of your floor or update it with a new finish color.
Parquet Floor Replacement
For floors with severe structural issues or extensive damage, a full replacement may be the most practical solution. We remove the existing materials, prepare the surface, and install new parquet flooring using any pattern you choose.
