Oak Parquet Flooring in Winchester
Our sales of oak parquet flooring are available throughout Winchester
- all you have to do is choose your product size and grade and give us a call or complete your order online - as easy as this.
Our parquet flooring comes in various sizes. The smaller ones - 70x230x20mm, 70x280x20mm are suitable for smaller rooms, and 70x350x20mm oak may look better in larger rooms. All our blocks come with tongue & groove fitting, which is located in a lower position, for better sandable depth and respectively longer life span.
Each pack of flooring contains the same number of left & right-oriented tongue & grooved blocks. This design is ideal for parquet flooring installation in a herringbone pattern. However, the blocks can be fitted in square and other patterns as well.
And when it comes to grading, there is a bit to offer for everyone - we do Prime, Natural and Rustic grades. Not sure, how timber grading works? Check our oak parquet flooring blocks product descriptions or speak to a member of staff.
Our Timber Grading System
Grading is an important bit of information about the wooden flooring you intend to buy. It defines the appearance of your floors and the price. We use the standard UK timber grading system.
- 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.
Parquet Blocks Availability
We keep our oak blocks in stock for immediate dispatch to Winchester
at all times. But sometimes we may run out of a certain grade or size. Re-stocking of products would normally take about 2 weeks and a member of staff will be able to advise on our next availability.

Parquet Finishing & Fitting Products
We went a bit further by offering parquet flooring together with all necessary finishing and fitting products - we do parquet floor adhesives, wood floor varnish from Bona and Junckers and floor oils. We do oak thresholds and edgings and mouldings, beading in oak and MDF, skirting boards and more.
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 Winchester
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.
Advice on Laying Parquet Flooring
Do you have previous experience in laying parquet flooring? If not, maybe the points below will be in your help.
- Parquet blocks require perfect subfloor levels. Do not use self-levelling compounds to resolve these issues, however - it is a common mistake.
- Always apply liquid DPM on concrete subfloors.
- Allow up to 5 days for the blocks to acclimatisation
- Engineered parquet flooring comes prefinished, use flexible floor adhesives such as Bona R850 Flexible Silane Adhesive to make sure stains can be easily cleaned.
