Sanding original parquet flooring (Design parquet in patterns like basket weave, herringbone and even mosaic) is done to get the wood as level as possible to create a neat and best finish possible. Because the blocks are small and normally thin, any unlevelnesses of your underfloor will create height differences in the end result: hence sanding.
You can choose between unfinished and pre-finished parquet floor. Unfinished flooring, although cheaper, will require to be finished at home with oil, stains or lacquer. Prefinished parquet floor comes readily finished at the factory and is more resistant to spillage, scratching, moisture and the harmful effects of direct sunlight. Furthermore it carries a better warranty than an unfinished one.
For extra durability you can also choose engineered parquet flooring. This is a special type of prefinished flooring that is reinforced by adding an extra layer of plywood underneath the actual parquet tiles. Engineered parquet floor is suitable for ground level kitchens where moisture is at the maximum.
