FAQ
General
What is parquet flooring, and how does it differ from other flooring styles?
Spotted gum is a native species that is found on the east coast of Australia. Spotted gum refers most specifically to four species of trees, with the scientific names of Corymbia maculata, Lemon-scented Gum, Corymbia citriodora, and Eucalyptus citriodora. It gets its name from the spots it develops as its bark sheds in strips. This popular Australian hardwood is highly regarded for its durability and resistance to fire. The beautiful and elegant colour variations of spotted gum timber flooring work excellently for both commercial and residential use.
Is it suitable for all areas of the home?
Parquet flooring is an excellent choice for most areas of the home, including living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. However, it’s best to avoid installing parquet in areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms or basements, as excessive humidity can affect the wood.
How durable is it compared to other types of wooden flooring?
Parquet flooring is made from engineered timber, which provides excellent durability and stability. The top layer of hardwood is resistant to wear and tear, making it a long-lasting option when properly maintained. Its durability is comparable to other high-quality wooden floors.
Installation & Care
Can parquet flooring be refinished if it gets scratched or worn?
Yes, parquet flooring can be refinished. The top layer of engineered timber allows for sanding and refinishing several times, depending on the thickness of the veneer. This helps restore the floor’s original beauty and extend its lifespan.
How do I care for and maintain parquet flooring?
Maintaining this type of flooring is relatively simple. Regular sweeping or vacuuming helps remove dirt and debris that could scratch the surface. Occasional damp mopping with a wood-safe cleaner keeps the floor looking its best.
Avoid excessive water or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood. Additionally, placing protective pads under furniture and using rugs in high-traffic areas can help preserve the floor’s finish.
