Premium Grade European Oak Herringbone Parquet Flooring Supply & Installation Project in Glasgow, West-end

Preparation for Installation

The project involved fitting our herringbone parquet flooring over a wet underfloor heating system, a task that required meticulous preparation. Before the installation could begin, we applied a coat of primer to the subfloor. This crucial step ensured that the parquet adhered securely to the surface, as the installation method used was glue-down. Applying the primer not only improved the bond but also provided added stability for the wood over time.
​
Aligning the Herringbone Design

The hallmark of a herringbone parquet installation is precision. To achieve the perfect layout, we identified the centre line of the space, focusing on the entrance from the hallway leading into the extension. This alignment ensured that the first row of parquet was laid exactly in the middle of the hallway, creating a visually pleasing and balanced design that flowed seamlessly through the home.

Custom Border Detailing

At the client’s request, a single border was added around the edges of the room. This required extremely precise cutting to ensure a neat and uniform appearance. The border not only framed the herringbone pattern beautifully but also added a touch of bespoke craftsmanship to the flooring. Attention to detail was paramount to achieve the clean, professional finish that our clients expect from Hoff Parquet.

The Beauty of Premium-Grade European Oak

Premium-grade European Oak is renowned for its superior quality, featuring a clean appearance with no knots and minimal colour variation. This makes it an ideal choice for high-end interiors where uniformity and elegance are key. European Oak’s natural grain patterns and warm tones complement both modern and traditional design styles, making it a versatile option for any home. The oak used in this project was carefully selected to meet the highest standards, ensuring that the finished flooring exuded luxury and sophistication. This premium material was a perfect match for the character and charm of homes in Glasgow’s West End.

Final Touches

After the installation was complete, the client requested an additional coat of clear hardwax oil to enhance the flooring’s durability and provide extra protection. Hardwax oil not only protects the surface from wear and tear but also accentuates the natural beauty of the European Oak, giving it a rich, satin finish. This extra step ensured that the flooring would maintain its stunning appearance for years to come, even in a busy household.
