What Is Parquet Flooring?
Selecting the Perfect Wood Species
Choosing the right wood species for parquet flooring plays a crucial role in determining the floor’s durability, appearance, and suitability for Singapore’s climate. Each wood type offers unique characteristics in terms of grain pattern, hardness, colour tone, and moisture resistance, making proper selection essential for long-term performance and visual appeal.
Popular Wood Species for Parquet Flooring
Oak Parquet Flooring
Oak is one of the most popular choices for parquet flooring due to its excellent balance of strength and beauty. It features prominent grain patterns, high durability, and good resistance to wear, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and commercial spaces.
Teak Parquet Flooring
Teak is highly prized for its natural water and moisture resistance, making it especially suitable for Singapore’s humid environment. Its warm golden-brown tones add a luxurious feel while offering exceptional longevity.
Walnut Parquet Flooring
Walnut parquet flooring is known for its deep, rich colours and elegant grain patterns. It is commonly used in premium interiors where aesthetics are a priority, such as luxury homes, offices, and boutique spaces.
Merbau Parquet Flooring
Merbau is a dense hardwood with excellent strength and stability. Its resistance to termites and heavy foot traffic makes it a practical choice for high-usage areas, including hallways and commercial properties.
Composition and Materials for Parquet Flooring
Understanding the composition and materials of parquet flooring is essential when choosing a long-lasting, elegant, and practical flooring solution for your home or commercial space. Parquet flooring is renowned for its natural beauty, durability, and timeless appeal, making it a popular choice in Singapore for both residential and commercial interiors.
Solid Hardwood Core
High-quality parquet flooring is primarily made from solid natural hardwood, offering excellent strength and longevity. Common hardwood species used include:
Oak – Highly durable, moisture-resistant, and suitable for Singapore’s climate
Teak – Naturally water-resistant with a rich, luxurious appearance
Walnut – Darker tones with distinctive grain patterns for premium interiors
Merbau – Dense and stable wood ideal for heavy foot traffic
These hardwood cores ensure parquet flooring remains stable, wear-resistant, and capable of being refinished multiple times over its lifespan.
Engineered Parquet Structure (Optional)
Many modern parquet flooring solutions use an engineered wood structure, which consists of:
A top layer of real hardwood veneer
Multiple layers of high-density plywood or HDF beneath
This layered composition enhances dimensional stability, reduces expansion and contraction, and makes parquet flooring more suitable for Singapore’s humid environment.
Surface Finishes and Treatments
Parquet flooring materials are enhanced with protective surface finishes to improve durability and ease of maintenance:
UV-coated lacquer for scratch and stain resistance
Oil-finished surfaces to enhance natural wood grain and warmth
Anti-slip coatings for safety in homes and commercial areas
These finishes protect the wood while preserving its natural texture and aesthetic appeal.
Popular Parquet Flooring Design Patterns
- Herringbone: A zigzag pattern using rectangular blocks with straight ends.
- Chevron: A zigzag pattern where the ends are cut at an angle to create a true “V” shape.
- Basketweave: Planks that appear to be interwoven over and under each other.
- Versailles: An intricate diamond-shaped weave.

Why Choose Parquet Flooring
Parquet flooring is a premier choice for Singaporean homeowners and businesses, offering a unique combination of historical prestige, practical durability, and design versatility. Here is why parquet remains a top-tier flooring solution:
- Timeless Elegance and Sophistication: Originally used in 17th-century French palaces to replace marble, parquet is a symbol of wealth and luxury. Its intricate, repeating geometric patterns such as Herringbone, Chevron, and Versailles. Transform a standard floor into a bespoke work of art that elevates the ambiance of any space.
- Generational Durability: Hardwood parquet is structurally sound and known to withstand heavy foot traffic for several decades or even generations if properly maintained. Natural teak, a popular choice in Singapore, is particularly prized because it ages gracefully, often turning richer and darker over time without losing its inherent beauty.
- Superior Restoration Potential: Unlike laminate or tile, damaged or dull parquet can be sanded down and refinished. This professional restoration process removes scratches, dents, and stains to reveal the raw wood, which is then varnished to make the floor shine like new again.
- Hypoallergenic and Hygienic: Parquet is an ideal solution for families concerned with air quality, as it does not trap dust, pet dander, or allergens like carpets do. This makes it a significantly safer and more hygienic option for allergy sufferers.
- Natural Comfort and Acoustics: Being a natural material, wood offers a warmth to the foot that stone or marble cannot provide. Additionally, it possesses excellent acoustic properties, helping to dampen sound more effectively than harder surfaces like marble.
- Design Versatility: With a vast range of wood species including Oak, Walnut, Ash, and Cherry and various shades from light Scandinavian tones to rich chocolate hues, parquet can be customised to match any interior design style, from minimalist to farmhouse.
Pros, Cons, and Maintenance of Parquet Flooring
- Humidity & Spills: Singapore’s high humidity can affect wood; spills must be mopped immediately to prevent distortion or discoloration.
- Sunlight Protection: Direct UV exposure can remove pigment from wood; we recommend using curtains or rugs in sun-drenched areas.
- Scratch Prevention: While structurally sound, wood is susceptible to scuffs; use mats under chairs and avoid dragging heavy furniture.
- Regular Care: Sweep or dry-mop weekly and use parquet-specific cleaning products to maintain the protective varnish
Parquet Floor Restoration
Parquet floor restoration is the ideal solution to revive worn, scratched, or dull wooden floors without the need for full replacement. Over time, parquet flooring can lose its original shine due to daily wear, furniture movement, moisture exposure, and ageing finishes. Professional restoration restores both the beauty and durability of your parquet floor, extending its lifespan for many years.
What Is Parquet Floor Restoration?
Parquet floor restoration is a multi-step process that renews the surface of your existing wooden flooring. It typically includes:
Sanding and levelling to remove scratches, stains, and uneven surfaces
Gap filling and repairs for cracks, loose panels, or damaged wood
Polishing or sealing to restore shine and protect the surface
Refinishing with lacquer or oil for long-term durability
This process brings old parquet flooring back to life while preserving its natural wood character.
Benefits of Restoring Parquet Flooring
Restoration offers several advantages compared to floor replacement:
Cost-effective compared to installing new parquet flooring
Enhances natural wood grain and colour
Improves durability and wear resistance
Eliminates scratches, dents, and surface stains
Increases property value and interior appeal
It is an environmentally friendly option that maximises the use of existing materials.
When Should You Restore Your Parquet Floor?
Parquet floor restoration is recommended when you notice:
Deep scratches or worn-out finishes
Uneven surfaces or loose parquet blocks
Dull, faded, or discoloured wood
Water marks or minor surface damage
Early restoration prevents further deterioration and reduces long-term repair costs.

Our parquet floor restoration services are suitable for:
Residential properties – living rooms, bedrooms, and corridors

Frequently Asked Questions on
Parquet Flooring in Singapore
How long does parquet flooring last?
With proper care, it can last for several decades or even generations.
Can parquet be installed in bathrooms?
Traditional solid wood is not recommended for high-humidity areas. However, engineered parquet is more resistant to moisture and can be a suitable alternative.
Is parquet noisier than other floors?
Yes. Sanding removes scratches and dents, and a fresh coat of varnish restores its original shine.
What is the difference between Burmese and Indonesian Teak?
Burmese teak is generally harvested from older trees, resulting in a richer and darker tone compared to Indonesian teak, which is typically younger and lighter in shade.
While Burmese teak is more expensive, it is unique because it tends to turn even darker and more beautiful with age.
How does Singapore’s sunlight affect the appearance of my floors?
Strong sunlight coming through windows can damage parquet by removing the pigment from the wood, eventually leaving it looking pale and washed out.
To prevent this, it is recommended to protect your floors using curtains or by placing rugs over areas that receive intense direct sun.
Is parquet flooring a good choice for people with allergies?
Yes, parquet is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers because, unlike carpets, it does not trap or hold onto dust and allergens.
This makes it a significantly safer and more hygienic flooring option for homes in Singapore.
Why do my parquet floors sometimes make creaking noises?
Creaking is often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of wood pieces over the years, which can cause nails to loosen.
Additionally, parquet installed as a “floating floor” may produce a louder, hollow sound when walked on with certain types of footwear, such as heels.
Should I choose prefinished or unfinished parquet tiles?
Prefinished tiles are treated with a factory-applied finish that is often more durable and reduces the mess and hassle during installation.
Unfinished wood, however, is sanded and stained on-site, allowing you to choose a customised stain or finish that perfectly matches your interior design.
What are the immediate steps I should take if I spill water on the floor?
Due to Singapore’s high humidity, water does not evaporate quickly; therefore, any spills must be mopped up immediately.
If moisture is left for too long, it can lead to wood distortion, warping, or permanent discolouration.
How often do my parquet floors require professional polishing?
To prevent your floors from looking dull and to maintain their glossy, protective layer, it is generally recommended to perform professional sanding and polishing at least once a year. This regular maintenance ensures the wood remains resistant to minor surface scratches.
Which wood species are best for high-traffic areas?
Ashwood is highly recommended for busy rooms because it is particularly hardy and durable.
Oakwood is another popular, cost-effective alternative that is well-known for its strength and ability to withstand heavy foot passage.
