Project overview
We were commissioned to supply and install premium-grade European oak herringbone parquet flooring for a high-end private residence in London, United Kingdom. The project was particularly challenging due to the dominance of marble and stone in the design, which required us to ensure a smooth and seamless transition between the different materials.
Challenges
One of the main challenges we faced was fitting our parquet flooring to match the height of the existing stone and tile floors. The architect’s vision for the space was to create a clean, uniform look that felt warm and cosy. This required precision in ensuring that the parquet flooring blended perfectly with the stone, while maintaining the desired aesthetic.
Product Selection
The architect chose our "Project White" herringbone parquet, which is 16mm thick, 100mm wide, and 600mm long. This premium-grade European oak flooring is finished with a durable matt coating that provides a smooth, white-toned surface. The finish not only adds warmth but also creates a consistent, clean look, with no knots and minimal colour variation, ideal for the elegant atmosphere of the residence.
Installation Process
The subfloor, prepared by Hoff Parquet, was equipped with underfloor heating. We meticulously ensured that all levels were perfectly aligned, matching the height of the tiles. The herringbone parquet was glued down using Stauf flexible parquet floor adhesives, allowing for slight movement and ensuring longevity over the heated subfloor.
Outcome
The end result was a beautifully smooth transition between the marble, stone, and parquet, maintaining the uniformity and warmth the architect envisioned. Our premium "Project White" parquet added the perfect touch of elegance to this luxury London home.

Herringbone parquet with stone and underfloor heating in London homes
Many high-end London houses combine wood with marble or limestone in kitchens, halls and bathrooms, and the junction between them is where a project succeeds or fails. Stone and tile are usually thinner than parquet plus adhesive, so the screed has to be built up or reduced in each area before fitting. Getting this right at subfloor stage gives a flush threshold with no ramps or thick metal profiles.
Underfloor heating is now standard in this kind of refurbishment. Engineered herringbone on a plywood base is the right choice over it, glued with a flexible adhesive and commissioned slowly once the screed is dry. Hoff Parquet sends its own fitters to London projects, prepares the subfloor and heating screed details with the contractor, works directly with architects and designers, and offers trade terms to professionals.

Questions about this project
How do you get herringbone parquet level with a marble floor?
We measure the finished height of the stone and calculate the parquet, adhesive and any levelling layer needed to match it. The subfloor is then built up or adjusted so both finishes meet flush. A slim expansion gap or cork strip at the junction allows the wood to move.
Which adhesive should be used for parquet over underfloor heating?
A flexible, elastic parquet adhesive such as the Stauf products used here. It bonds the blocks fully while allowing slight seasonal movement over the heated screed. Keep the floor surface at no more than 27°C and raise the heating gradually after fitting.
