Parquet flooring adds classic style and unique patterns to any room, making it a favourite for both homes and offices. If you want to refresh your home or upgrade your workspace, parquet can give your space a timeless look. This guide explains each step of the installation and how Al Ameemi-Berrywood can support you in Dubai.
Step 1: Choosing the Right Parquet Flooring
Begin by choosing the type, pattern, and finish that best suit your space. Parquet flooring is available in styles such as herringbone, chevron, and basket weave. Al Ameemi-Berrywood offers a broad range of quality parquet to fit any design.
Step 2: Preparing the Subfloor
Check that your subfloor is smooth, dry, and clean before starting. Remove old flooring and debris, and make sure the surface is level. For concrete subfloors, add a moisture barrier. Wooden subfloors may need sanding or repairs.
Step 3: Acclimatising the Parquet
Allow the parquet blocks or tiles to rest in the room for at least 48 hours before installation. This step helps prevent warping and lets the wood adjust to the room’s temperature and humidity.
Step 4: Laying Out the Pattern
Mark the centre of the room and use chalk lines to guide the pattern. Lay out a section without adhesive to see how it will look and make any needed adjustments. This step is important for keeping the pattern even, especially in bigger rooms.
Step 5: Applying the Adhesive
Apply adhesive to small areas of the subfloor with a notched trowel. Place the parquet blocks or tiles in your chosen pattern and press them down firmly. Al Ameemi-Berrywood can suggest the best adhesives and installation methods for Dubai’s climate.
Step 6: Cutting and Fitting the Edges
Cut parquet blocks as needed to fit along walls and corners, leaving a small gap for natural movement. Use spacers if needed to keep the gaps even.
Step 7: Rolling and Setting
After the parquet is laid, use a flooring roller to work in small, overlapping sections, rolling in multiple directions. This guarantees secure adhesion and helps clear air pockets. Let the adhesive fully harden as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 8: Sanding and Finishing
Sand the whole floor to make it smooth and even. Apply your chosen finish, such as oil, lacquer, or varnish, for protection and the look you want. Al Ameemi-Berrywood offers expert finishing services for a perfect result.
