Based in St Albans and looking on our website for parquet flooring in St Albans - Oak Parquet Flooring is the right place. We hold a huge stock of oak parquet flooring blocks in various sizes and grades. Just choose your preferred parquet block size and have it delivered within 3 working days. 

Our blocks come in sizes of 70 x 230 x 20 mm, 70 x 280 x 20 mm - ideal for smaller areas, and 70 x 350 x 20 mm oak blocks, which will normally go on larger premises. They are available in Prime, Natural & Rustic grades, there are some for all tastes. All oak blocks have tongue & groove fitting, positioned lower by design, to provide a thicker sandable real wood layer.

Packs contain an equal number of left & right tongue & grooved parquet blocks, so they are suitable for herringbone and other patterns.

We do tailor-made sizes of parquet flooring blocks, as well as engineered parquet flooring from Boen.

Stock Availability

As specialist parquet flooring supplier we try to keep our stock on a level at all times and if we run out of blocks, and it normally takes up to 2 weeks for re-stocking, so we will be able to deliver to you within reasonable time frame even if the sizes and grades are not currently in stock.

New or Reclaimed Blocks?

Oak parquet flooring like any other wooden product is sensitive to moisture and therefore it is of great importance to be stored in dry places until used. Such places are supplier's warehouses, but cannot be garages, sheds, gardens, lofts or other places where people in St Albans would normally store things they do not need any more.

This real-life example of how thousands of pounds can be wasted in fitting "free reclaimed blocks from my uncle's house" or "the cheap oak blocks I bid on eBay", can, later on, show how they can buckle up or crack, just weeks after the floor installation.

Let's not forget as well that sanding parquet blocks of different heights, will take much more consumables and time than finishing new blocks. This is just one example, showing why fitting reclaimed blocks will be much more expensive than new blocks.

Basics of Laying Parquet Flooring

Most of our clients of parquet flooring blocks are experienced fitters hired as contractors for a project in St Albans . But sometimes the management of the project is partly held by the property owner, and if the case is like this, here is some short advice on laying parquet flooring.

• Parquet blocks require a perfect level. If your subfloor is concrete, which has damage and unevenness, do not resolve it with self-levelling compound, it is a common mistake - take advise of your builders. Uneven wooden subfloors are always advisable to be plied or chipboarded prior to fitting.
• Apply liquid DPM on concrete subfloors.
• Parquet blocks are natural, unfinished product - allow up to 5 days for flooring acclimatisation in colder seasons.

Our Floor Grading System

Our grading system uses the UK's standards:

• Rustic Grade Parquet Blocks - rich, vivid character allowing random size and form of knots and colour variation between the blocks;
• Natural Grade Parquet Blocks - more calm, natural feeling of the timber, allowing limited sized knots of up to 5 mm and almost no colour variation between the blocks;
• Prime Grade Parquet Blocks - clean oak timber without colour variation between the blocks; knots of 1 mm may appear randomly on 1 of 5 blocks.
