Herringbone parquet in Glasgow homes

Much of Glasgow's housing is red and blond sandstone tenements and Victorian terraces, built on suspended timber joists with pine floorboards that have moved and cupped over a century or more. Herringbone needs a flat, rigid base, so old boards are usually screwed down, repaired and overlaid with plywood before the blocks are bonded. In upper-floor flats an acoustic layer is often needed as well, because many title deeds and factors expect impact-sound protection for the neighbours below.

Dark-toned oak suits Glasgow rooms with high ceilings and tall sash windows, where there is enough daylight to show the grain without the space feeling heavy. Kitchens are a good place for engineered parquet: its plywood-backed construction copes far better with the warmth and humidity swings of cooking than solid blocks. Hoff Parquet posts samples, visits Glasgow homes for a free site survey and quote, and uses its own fitters for preparation and installation. Full-size boards can also be seen at the Morningside showroom in Edinburgh.

Questions about this project

Can herringbone parquet go in a kitchen in a Glasgow flat?

Yes. Engineered herringbone with a plywood base is stable enough for kitchens, provided spills are wiped up promptly and the surface is protected with hardwax oil or lacquer. In a tenement flat the parquet is usually glued to a plywood overlay on the joists, with an acoustic underlay or mat where the building's rules require impact-sound reduction.

Does dark oak herringbone show marks more than lighter oak?

Dark finishes tend to show dust and light surface scuffs more readily than mid-tone oak, especially near doors and in kitchens. Felt pads on furniture, entrance mats and regular cleaning with a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner help. An oiled engineered floor can be spot-repaired or re-oiled when worn rather than replaced.
