Solid Wood
mail   print
Real wood flooring or “parquet” refers to the type of flooring produced from wood usually issued from common trees (such as oak, walnut, or pine trees), from exotic or rare trees (such as palissander, ebony or purple heart), and in some cases from plants such as bamboo. The wood flooring takes mostly the shape of planks usually equal in length and width. The wood is graded depending on the purity of the planks, existence of knots and black spots, color variation, etc…
The parquet price usually varies in function of the wood specimen availability, the planks width, length, and thickness, and the grading. The wood can receive many treatments relative to color such as staining, heat treatment, or ammonium fuming; and surface finishing such as sanding, brushing, or hand-scrapping.
