Parquet supply and installation
Parquet is flooring laid as small blocks in a pattern. We supply engineered oak and walnut for living areas and waterproof SPC for kitchens and rentals, fitted by our own team with a free site visit in Dubai.
Quick answer
Parquet flooring is made of short wooden blocks or planks fitted together in a repeating pattern, most often herringbone or chevron. The word comes from the French for a small wooden floor. Solid wood is the traditional version; the floors we fit now are mostly engineered oak, or SPC and laminate with a wood print, arranged in the same way. In Dubai, parquet costs about AED 75–120 per sqm in laminate or SPC and AED 375–450 per sqm in engineered oak, before installation.

The pattern is the same; what changes is the material underneath. Pick by the room and how much water it sees.

Angled patterns waste roughly a tenth of the boards in wall cuts, so every quote already allows for that. Send your room size on WhatsApp and we will send a written price with supply and fitting listed separately.

Engineered parquet also has a genuine oak or walnut wear layer that can be sanded later, which plank SPC cannot.
Pros and cons
For most Dubai homes, yes. It gives a room a finished, high-end look that plain planks do not. Here is the honest picture.
Installation
Parquet only looks right if it is set out properly. This is how our team fits it in Dubai homes.
We measure, check the floor level and moisture, and agree the pattern direction with you.
Uneven areas are levelled so blocks sit flat. Old flooring is removed if needed.
We mark a centre line and lay out from it, so the pattern runs straight through doorways.
Cuts are finished with skirting or trims, and we show you how to care for the floor.

FAQs
Laminate chevron parquet costs AED 75 per sqm plus AED 25 installation. Waterproof SPC and LVT parquet costs AED 100–120 per sqm plus AED 25–30 installation. Engineered oak and walnut parquet costs AED 375–450 per sqm plus AED 80 installation. Herringbone and chevron need about 10% extra material for cuts.
Parquet is flooring made of short wooden blocks fitted together in a pattern such as herringbone, chevron or basket weave. Traditionally it was solid wood. Today it is usually engineered wood with a real oak or walnut top layer, or wood-look SPC, LVT or laminate laid in the same patterns.
Real wood parquet costs more than plank flooring because it takes longer to fit, is glued down and needs more cutting. Engineered oak parquet starts at AED 375 per sqm with us. If you want the pattern on a smaller budget, SPC parquet starts at AED 100 and laminate chevron at AED 75 per sqm.
Real wood parquet should not be used in bathrooms or other wet rooms, it can scratch and fade in strong sun, and it costs more to fit than planks. Every parquet pattern also needs about 10% extra material. SPC parquet avoids the water problem but cannot be sanded like real wood.
For living rooms, bedrooms and villas, engineered oak parquet gives the real wood look and stays stable in air-conditioned rooms. For kitchens, apartments, rentals and homes with pets, waterproof SPC parquet is the practical choice. Laminate chevron suits dry rooms on a tight budget.
Herringbone blocks are cut square and meet at 90°, so the ends overlap in a zigzag. Chevron blocks are cut at an angle so the ends meet in a clean V. Chevron looks more formal; herringbone is more relaxed and slightly cheaper to fit.
SPC, LVT and laminate parquet can usually go over flat, firmly fixed tiles. Engineered wood parquet can also be glued over tiles if they are level and well bonded. We check the tiles and floor level at the free site visit before we confirm.
A single 20–30 sqm room usually takes one day in SPC or laminate parquet and one to two days in glued engineered wood. A full villa floor takes longer and we confirm the time after measuring.
Yes. Our engineered oak and walnut parquet has a real wood top layer of about 3 mm on most ranges, which can be lightly sanded and re-oiled or re-lacquered when it gets worn. SPC, LVT and laminate parquet cannot be sanded.
Sweep or vacuum often, then damp mop with a cleaner made for your floor type. For real wood, avoid wet mopping and steam mops, use felt pads under furniture and keep rugs at the doors to catch sand.
Yes, when the right material is used. Engineered wood is more stable than solid wood in air-conditioned homes, and SPC parquet is waterproof and not affected by humidity. Rooms should stay air-conditioned and blinds help in strong sun.
