Oak Wood blocks flooring are traditionally laid in a herringbone design with a 2-block border running around the perimeter of the room. Can be laid over existing concrete screeds or plywood sub floors. Once installed this floor needs to be sanded smooth and finshed 3 coats of a lacquered finish.

Oak Wood blocks flooring are traditionally laid in a herringbone design with a 2-block border running around the perimeter of the room. Can be laid over existing concrete screeds or plywood sub floors. Once installed this floor needs to be sanded smooth and finshed 3 coats of a lacquered finish.

1. Prepare the Subfloor: Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and free from any debris. If necessary, repair or level the subfloor before installation.

2. Acclimate the Parquet Woodblock Flooring: Allow the parquet flooring to acclimate to the room where it will be installed. This typically involves leaving the flooring in the room for a few days to adjust to the temperature and humidity conditions.

3. Plan the Layout: Determine the layout and design of the parquet woodblock flooring. You can create different patterns, such as herringbone, basketweave, or brick, depending on your preference. Plan the starting point and direction of the installation, considering the room's shape and the location of walls or prominent features.

4. Install the Moisture Barrier (if necessary): In areas prone to moisture, such as basements or concrete subfloors, it's advisable to install a moisture barrier or underlayment to prevent any moisture-related issues.

5. Apply Adhesive: Use a suitable adhesive recommended by the manufacturer. Apply the adhesive to the subfloor using a trowel, spreading it evenly over a small area that you can work on within a reasonable time frame.

6. Lay the Parquet Woodblock Flooring: Begin installing the parquet flooring, starting from the chosen starting point. Press each piece of parquet firmly into the adhesive, aligning it with the adjacent pieces. Use a rubber mallet or a block of wood and a hammer to ensure each piece is properly seated and level.

7. Cut and Fit the Parquet Woodblock Oak Flooring: As you progress with the installation, you will likely need to cut some pieces to fit around edges, corners, or obstacles. Measure carefully and use a saw or a chisel to make the necessary cuts. Ensure that the cuts are precise and the pieces fit tightly together.

8. Continue the Installation: Work in small sections, spreading adhesive and installing the parquet flooring until the entire room is covered. Pay attention to maintaining consistent spacing and alignment between the pieces for a uniform appearance.

9. Allow for Expansion Gaps: Leave a small expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for natural wood expansion and contraction. This gap can be covered later with a baseboard or trim.

10. Sand and Finish the Flooring: Once the parquet Oak woodblock flooring is fully installed, sand the surface to create a smooth and level finish. Start with coarse-grit sandpaper and gradually progress to finer grits. After sanding, thoroughly clean the floor to remove any dust or debris. Finally, apply a suitable finish or sealant to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
