| Victorian and Edwardian properties often have woodblock or parquet flooring which is commonly laid in a herringbone design, an excellent choice for restorations. The down side to this is the cost of labour fees which is usually more than the parquet itself. Look at varied different timbers and get expert advice and knowledge on the different timbers and their characteristics. There is a possibility the boards may need re sanding or refinishing in the future, therefore, it is important that the boards have a good depth of timber.
Make a Statement There is a variety of paints and finishes so the look can always be changed when different colours and textures go out of fashion. A coloured finish can transform a room and bring it back to life. An advantage of wood flooring is the way the floor can be personalized to individual tastes and creative styles to make a statement. |
