Grey parquet flooring is characterized by small wooden pieces arranged in geometric patterns, such as herringbone or chevron. These wooden pieces, also known as parquet blocks or tiles, were traditionally made from solid wood, and assembled to create intricate designs. However, thanks to advances in flooring technology, you can now have parquet flooring made from engineered wood, laminate, or luxury vinyl tiles.
Our luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) allow for grey parquet flooring to be installed in various areas of the home where solid wood flooring wouldn’t cope, such as bathrooms. Whereas both laminate and LVT offer extremely budget-friendly alternatives. Our engineered wood parquet flooring is not as cost-competitive however thanks to the real hardwood veneer it is the closest replica to real wood flooring that you can get while still benefiting from the additional durability.
Regardless of the floor type you choose, parquet flooring is an elegant flooring option with a timeless appeal, and our grey parquet flooring styles can complement any space, making it a perfect addition to any home.
Unlike most passing trends, parquet flooring has remained a timeless style statement for over 400 years so we can’t see it going out of style anytime soon. Not only that but it is an extremely versatile flooring with plenty of options in terms of style and durability.
Grey parquet flooring, like any other type of flooring, can vary in its durability and resistance to scratches. The susceptibility to scratches will depend on several factors, including the type of wood or material used for the flooring, the quality of the finish, and how well it is maintained. For example, laminate flooring is better at coping with scratches than hardwood flooring thanks to the tough protective layer.
The finish applied to the flooring also plays a crucial role in its scratch resistance. A high-quality finish, such as lacquer will help to protect your flooring by providing an additional protective layer. This is ideal for engineered or solid wood floors where maintenance is key to keeping a long-lasting floor. You can also get matt lacquer which will not only help to protect the flooring but will also hide any scratches until you have time to re-finish and re-sand your engineered wood floors.
At Flooring365 we always advise that proper maintenance and care are essential in preserving the appearance and durability of any flooring. This includes our grey parquet flooring and is regardless of which floor type you choose. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, using soft-bristle attachments can be a huge help in removing dirt and debris that can potentially cause scratches. However, for more information on how to properly care for your flooring, please visit our maintenance centre, or get in touch with one of our flooring experts.
Most parquet flooring is not waterproof and any spillages on wood flooring should be cleaned within 2-3 hours. This includes our engineered wood, laminate, and solid wood floors. However, we do have some grey parquet floors in our LVT range which are 100% waterproof. Luxury vinyl tiles are ideal for bathrooms and make a brilliant alternative to traditional wood floors thanks to their realistic appearance.
Our grey parquet flooring is available as engineered wood, laminate, or LVT. The type of parquet that you choose will determine how long the floor needs to acclimatise.
Acclimatisation is vital in helping your flooring adjust to the new temperature and humidity conditions. Therefore, it’s important that you do not skip this step. If you do it could lead to your flooring warping, expanding, or retracting after installation.
Engineered wood floors need to acclimate for a minimum of 48-72 hours.
Laminate floors need to acclimate for a minimum of 48 hours.
LVT floors need to acclimate for a minimum of 48 hours.

Although it was traditionally a solid wood floor, parquet flooring now comes in all types of flooring whether it’s engineered wood, laminate, or LVT. Each has its unique own pros and cons both in terms of aesthetics and durability so it’s worth doing some research beforehand or speaking to an expert to find the best solution for your home.
Engineered wood flooring is a composite wood flooring. The composition consists of plywood sublayers for structural support, with a surface layer made of solid wood. The end result is a floor that looks identical to solid wood at a fraction of the cost. This makes our engineered wood parquet flooring highly sought-after as they also have improved durability and a lower cost in comparison to solid wood flooring.
With a decorative photo top layer and hard-wearing protection, our grey laminate parquet floors offer a striking finish that's hard-wearing and easy to maintain. This makes our laminate parquet flooring options ideal for family homes, homes with pets, or anyone looking for grey herringbone flooring on a budget.
Our LVT parquet flooring offers a waterproof alternative to your typical parquet wood flooring. This makes them ideal for anyone looking to install parquet flooring in their bathroom, kitchen, basement, or anywhere with higher levels of moisture and humidity. The Click Lok system also makes our LVT floors extremely easy to fit and ideal for anyone looking to avoid hiring a professional for installation.
Brushed & oiled finishes offer a greater texture and more depth to the surface of our engineered wood floors. To achieve this look, we brush the floor using steel wire wool to remove the thin upper layers during the manufacturing process. This leaves behind an enhanced grain and texture. The level of depth and texture varies, depending on the wood species of the veneer and level of brushing. The wood is then protected with oil.
Similar to the above finishes, our brushed & matt lacquered floors have been brushed using steel wire wool. A matt lacquer is then applied to the solid wood veneer. Some customers prefer matt lacquer because it offers the same level of protection as any other lacquer without the high-gloss shine. Matt lacquer is also a great option for high foot traffic areas where scratches or damage is more likely as matt surfaces will not show the scratches as easily.
All of our grey LVT floors are textured to some degree to make them feel and look authentic. Whilst not as apparent as our embossed floors, you’ll find that our textured products are extremely competitive in pricing. Since grey parquet flooring is often more expensive than other grey wood flooring, we find some customers prefer this alternative. In terms of budget-friendly flooring, you really can’t beat our textured LVTs.
As flooring experts, we often find that our wood grain laminates are the most popular, with more people choosing to opt for a budget-friendly option to solid wood flooring. Our grey laminate parquet flooring mimics the classic herringbone pattern and looks particularly impressive. If you are looking to save some cost, but still want something to look like the real deal, you may want to consider one of our wood grain laminate floors.
Herringbone flooring is a slightly easier parquet flooring style to fit, usually by connecting the short end of one board to the long end of another. This interlocking pattern gives a 'zig zag' finish, which adds interest to any room, elevating your flooring.
Chevron parquet, whilst more difficult to fit, perhaps offers the most interesting finish of all flooring types. To create a Chevron pattern, the planks must be laid at a 45-degree angle. This will form a V-shaped pattern and result in a visually striking and timeless look.
If you have opted for an engineered wood floor, you may want to consider choosing thicker boards. Thicker boards usually have a thicker veneer, which is important if you plan on refinishing your flooring in the future. This is important with engineered wood flooring as only the veneer (aka the wear layer) can be sanded down. Although there is no wear layer for solid wood flooring, the same rule applies. The more thickness you have, the more times you can refinish your flooring. You can see more information regarding this on our wear tab.
Regardless of which floor type you choose, thicker boards will be more hard-wearing and provide slightly improved sound reduction performance. Therefore, you may want to consider thicker boards in upstairs apartments or bedrooms, for example. As well as this, thicker boards are usually more suited to higher traffic areas, where they can withstand greater use. However, they are often more expensive to show for this, so ultimately it comes down to budget and personal preference.
If you're using a water-based underfloor heating system, it's important that your flooring isn't too thick so heat can transfer. We recommend using flooring with a maximum board thickness of 15MM with 4/4.5MM Underfloor Heating Suitable Underlay.
The wear layer refers to the top, aesthetic surface layer of real wood, which gives the engineered flooring its look. Thicker wear layers, whilst usually more expensive, offer greater durability and the option to sand more frequently, meaning flooring can be refreshed more times before replacing.
Most engineered wood floors, regardless of the thickness of the wear layer, will provide years of use, maintaining their impressive appearance.
In most cases, sanding the top layer of engineered wood flooring will remove up to 1MM of surface, with a minimum of 1MM needed leftover for protection. As a rough guide, here’s the number of times a floor can be sanded, based on the initial wear layer thickness:
(Please note: Sanding times is a guide only, the number of times a floor can be sanded will vary on an individual basis.)
Click Lok flooring has a profiled edge which creates a glue-free, interlocking fitting system. This system allows quick and easy installation, even for DIY novices. Simply, push, drop, click, and lock the boards into place for a sturdy floor installation.
If you’re considering Click Lok, it’s important to think about the underlying surface on which your flooring will be laid. Uneven surfaces make Click Lok much more difficult to fit, which often means the need for levelling underlay.
Tongue and groove is the most traditional method for installing wood flooring. It involves tessellating profiled edges together using glue, such as PVA. The glue means tongue and groove flooring is free of nails, making it visually appealing and safe to walk barefoot.
