Parquetry Flooring Installation
Professional Parquetry Flooring Installation in Sydney
Parquetry installation is a craft. It’s not simply laying boards in a straight line. Each piece needs to be cut precisely, laid in the correct orientation and secured properly to create the geometric patterns that make parquetry so distinctive. Done right, it’s stunning. Done wrong, it looks off and becomes a problem down the track.
At Advance Floors, our installation team has hands-on experience with all parquetry patterns and subfloor types. We take care of everything from subfloor preparation through to final finishing, so the end result is exactly what you envisioned.
What’s Included in Our Installation Service
We handle the entire process from start to finish:
- Subfloor assessment and preparation including levelling, moisture testing and any necessary repairs before laying begins
- Pattern layout and planning so you know exactly how the finished floor will look before a single piece is glued down
- Precision cutting of parquetry pieces to fit your room dimensions and chosen pattern
- Full adhesive installation using industry-grade products appropriate for solid and engineered parquetry
- Expansion gap management to allow for timber movement with seasonal humidity changes
- Sanding and finishing where required, including oil, lacquer or wax finishes to your specification
- Full clean-up on completion so your space is ready to use straight away
Whether you’re installing parquetry flooring in a single room, throughout an entire home or as part of a commercial fit-out, we size our team to the job. Residential installations across Sydney are typically completed efficiently with minimal disruption to your household.
We service all Sydney suburbs for parquetry installation. From Bondi to Balmain, Manly to Mosman, Strathfield to St Ives, our installers are on the road across the city every day.
Parquetry Floor Repairs
Parquetry Floor Repairs Sydney
Parquetry floors are built to last decades, but over time they can show signs of wear, damage or movement. Loose blocks, cracked timber, gaps opening between pieces, surface scratches or worn-out finishes are all common issues that respond well to professional repair. The earlier you address them, the more manageable the fix.
At Advance Floors, we carry out parquetry floor repairs across Sydney. Whether you have a small area of damage or a whole floor that’s seen better days, we’ll assess the situation honestly and give you a repair plan that makes sense.
Parquetry Repair Services We Offer
- Loose or lifting block re-adhesion where parquetry pieces have come away from the subfloor due to adhesive failure or moisture movement
- Cracked or broken block replacement using matching timber species and dimensions to keep the pattern consistent
- Gap filling where seasonal movement has opened joints between parquetry pieces
- Sanding and re-finishing to restore a worn, scratched or dull parquetry surface back to its original condition
- Water damage assessment and repair including replacing water-damaged sections and addressing any subfloor moisture issues
- Parquetry floor restoration for heritage and period homes where original floors need to be brought back to life without replacing them
- Floor polishing and re-coating to refresh the surface finish and add a protective layer against future wear
We understand that for many Sydney homeowners, parquetry floors are a significant feature of their home, particularly in period properties across the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs and Lower North Shore. We approach every repair job with care, matching timber grain and tone as closely as possible so repaired sections blend seamlessly with the existing floor.
If you’re not sure whether your floor needs a repair or a full replacement, give us a call on 1300 928 584. In most cases, a well-executed repair is far more cost-effective, and we’ll always give you an honest recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Parquetry Flooring Questions, Answered
What is parquetry flooring?
Parquetry flooring is a type of timber floor made from individual pieces of wood arranged into geometric patterns. Unlike standard timber floorboards which run in a single direction, parquetry uses small timber blocks laid at angles to create designs like herringbone, chevron and basket weave. The word parquetry comes from the French word “parquet”, referring to the small enclosed area of wood used in the pattern.
How long does parquetry flooring last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, parquetry flooring can last a lifetime. Many of Sydney’s period homes from the early 20th century still have their original parquetry floors intact. Solid timber parquetry can be sanded and re-finished multiple times over its life, making it one of the most long-lasting flooring options available.
Can parquetry flooring be repaired rather than replaced?
In most cases, yes. Individual damaged or loose blocks can be repaired or replaced without disturbing the rest of the floor. Surface scratches, dullness and worn finishes can be addressed through sanding and re-coating. Full replacement is generally only necessary when the subfloor has been compromised or when a large proportion of the floor is beyond individual repair. We’ll give you an honest assessment at your free quote.
What’s the difference between herringbone and chevron parquetry?
Both patterns use rectangular timber pieces arranged at angles, but the key difference is in the cut. Herringbone uses square-ended planks laid in a zigzag, creating a broken V shape. Chevron uses planks cut at an angle at each end, so when laid together they meet at a perfect point to form a continuous V. Chevron tends to look more modern and directional, while herringbone has a more traditional, layered feel.
Is parquetry flooring suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
Solid timber parquetry is generally not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or wet rooms, as timber expands and contracts with moisture changes. Engineered timber parquetry offers better dimensional stability and is more suitable for areas with moderate moisture exposure such as kitchens. Our team will advise on the best product for each room during your free consultation.
How do I clean and maintain parquetry floors?
Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and grit is the most important maintenance step. Use a slightly damp (not wet) mop with a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner for periodic cleaning. Avoid steam mops and excess water. Place felt pads under furniture legs and rugs in high-traffic areas to minimise surface scratches. We can advise on the best maintenance routine for your specific finish at the time of installation.
Do you supply and install parquetry flooring across all Sydney suburbs?
Yes. Advance Floors operates Sydney-wide, covering the CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Lower North Shore, Hills District, South Sydney, Sutherland Shire and Western Sydney. Call us on 1300 928 584 to confirm we service your specific suburb and to book your free measure and quote.
How much does parquetry flooring cost in Sydney?
The cost of parquetry flooring depends on the timber species you choose, the complexity of the pattern, the size of the area and your subfloor condition. Solid timber parquetry is typically priced at a premium compared to other flooring types, reflecting its longevity and craftsmanship. Engineered parquetry offers a more accessible price point with excellent results. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know exactly what you’re up for before committing.
