Versailles Parquet Flooring Tiles

Versailles parquet is a flooring style that dates back to the 17th Century. It was originally created in France, for the esteemed Palace of Versailles. At that time, Versailles flooring was crafted by hand, making it so expensive that it was only available to the wealthiest homeowners.

But once the Industrial Revolution came, new machinery was introduced which made the intricate patterns of Versailles flooring easier to replicate. As a result, the luxurious design became popular in homes all over Europe.

Versailles parquet can be identified by its intricate pattern of wood blocks in the shape of squares, diamonds and triangles. It remains popular in homes today and offers a sense of grandeur and elegance.

Versailles parquet comes in a range of sizes, so you can choose whichever suits your home, style and budget best!

Our engineered wood Versailles flooring is 20mm thick and boasts a 6mm wear layer. Each square plank measures 800mm in length and 800mm in width.

Our laminate Versailles flooring is 12mm thick. While this might seem slim compared to our engineered wood versions, a 12mm thickness is actually the hallmark of a premium quality laminate.

Each rectangular board is printed with six Versailles-style ‘squares’ and measures 805mm (L) x 405mm (W).

Versailles parquet is traditionally made from panels of solid wood, arranged in an intricate woven pattern. However, manufacturing techniques have come a long way since the 17th Century, and engineered wood is now just as popular for Versailles flooring as the real thing.

Another modern material used for Versailles parquet is laminate. This style of Versailles flooring is much cheaper to make than its wood counterpart, which means it’s a more budget-friendly choice. Plus, laminate is quicker and easier to install, so it’s perfect if you want to DIY your Versailles parquet flooring!
