What Is Timer Floor and Parquet Flooring?

Timer floor commonly known as timber flooring is made from natural wood and offers warmth, strength and timeless appeal. Parquet flooring is a decorative form of timber flooring where wooden blocks are laid in patterns such as herringbone, chevron, basket weave or Versailles panels.

When you Install Timer floor and Parquet you are choosing a flooring option that enhances interior aesthetics while providing durability and flexibility in design. Parquet floors can be solid or engineered finished or unfinished depending on your needs and budget.

Importance of Proper Subfloor Preparation

A successful flooring installation always start beneath the surface. Before installing Timer floor parquet the subfloor must be clean dry level and structurally sound.

The first step is measure the room accurately to calculate how much flooring material is required. It is always recommended to add around 10 percent extra to allow for cuts mistakes or warped boards.

Next existing material such as carpet, baseboards, tack strips or damaged vinyl are removed. In some cases, certain flooring types can be installed over existing vinyl but only if the surface is stable and not layered.

Moisture test is a critical step. Excess moisture can cause timber floors to expand warp or fail over time. Using a moisture meter ensures the subfloor meets the manufacturer’s acceptable moisture levels. If moisture levels are too high professional treatment is required before installation.

Ensuring a Level and Strong Base

When preparing to Install Timer floor and Parquet floor leveling is essential. The subfloor should not vary more than a small tolerance over a specific distance. High spots are sanded down and low areas are corrected using leveling compounds or structural reinforcement.

Loose or squeaky boards are secured using appropriate screws and any damaged sections of the subfloor are repaired or replaced. A strong subfloor prevents movement, noise and future damage to your parquet flooring.

In some installations, an additional plywood layer may be added to strengthen the base especially if the flooring direction does not align with the floor joists.

Choosing the Right Parquet Installation Method

Parquet flooring can be installed using different methods depending on the product type

• Glue down installation for solid or engineered parquet
  
  
• Nail down installation for solid timber floors
  
  
• Floating installation for engineered or laminate parquet
  
  

Unfinished solid parquet allows complete customization. After installation the floor is filled, sanded, stained sealed to achieve the desired color and finish. This option is ideal for homeowners who want flexibility and a truly custom look.

Pre finished engineered parquet offers excellent stability and minimal gapping. The finish you see is the finish you get making it a convenient choice for faster installation.

Pattern Layout and Visual Appeal

One of the main reasons people choose parquet is the design flexibility. Herringbone parquet is one of the most popular styles creating a V shaped pattern that adds depth and sophistication to any space.

When installing parquet the central spine is laid first followed by filling in the surrounding area. This method ensures symmetry and balance throughout the room.

Flooring direction also matters. Typically flooring looks best when installed along the longest wall but structural considerations always come first to ensure long term performance.

Acclimation and Professional Installation

Before installation begins timber and parquet flooring must acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity for at least 72 hours. This reduces the risk of expansion or contraction after installation.

During installation  expansion gaps are maintained around the perimeter to allow natural movement of the wood. Boards are staggered properly to avoid weak joints and uneven patterns.

Experienced installers mix boards from different boxes to create a natural color variation and avoid patchy appearances.
