- Easy to Maintain: Parquet effect laminate is easy to clean and keep looking new, just regularly sweep or vacuum.
Parquet Laminate Styles
Laminate parquet flooring comes in a few different types of stunning designs such as herringbone and chevron. Herringbone laminate flooring has a distinct staggered zig-zag pattern at a 90-degree angle and adds a modern twist to any room. Whereas Chevron laminate flooring creates a clean traditional look with a true 'V' shape point.
No matter what parquet style laminate you choose, you can find a range of wood tones to complement your home. From oak parquet laminate in lighter natural shades which opens up the space in a room, to darker hues to add a dramatic effect in a room.
Laminate Parquet Flooring Room Suitability
Our parquet effect laminate flooring is suitable for all room types and can be used to create stunning entranceways. It can also be laid as a centrepiece in high-traffic rooms such as living spaces, bedrooms or quieter rooms such as basements or conservatories. And if you're worried about cooler spaces, our parquet laminate flooring is suitable for underfloor heating.
Some laminate parquet flooring is also suitable for wet rooms such as kitchens or bathrooms. While all laminate is water-resistant, spills won't ruin your floor as long as it's cleaned up quickly. We recommend buying a 100% waterproof floor just in case, so double-check the parquet laminate product before buying.
