Key Features of Smoked Oak Versailles Parquet Panels

Appearance

Deep, Smoked Colour
Oak is carefully smoked/fumed to enhance tannins, creating layered chocolate-to-espresso hues with subtle amber highlights for a sophisticated, aged look.

Iconic Versailles Pattern
Pre-assembled Versailles parquet squares showcase interlaced battens and border framing—crisp geometry with authentic, old-world charm.

Refined Surface Finishes
Available oiled or hardwax-oiled for a matte, natural sheen, or low-sheen lacquered for extra wear resistance. Optional brushed texture and micro-bevelled edges underline the pattern’s depth.

Durability

• Engineered options provide excellent dimensional stability—ideal for areas with underfloor heating or variable humidity.

• Protective finishes resist everyday wear, spills and scuffs; smoked tones help disguise minor marks, keeping floors looking pristine.

• Quality construction and a generous real-oak wear layer support future maintenance and refinishing (finish dependent).

Installation Methods

Fully Bonded (Stick-Down)

Panels can be framed with matching borders or feature strips for a gallery-finish look.

Best Practice

Maintenance & Care

Everyday Care

• Sweep or vacuum regularly (soft brush)

• Damp-mop with a pH-neutral, wood-safe cleaner—avoid excess water

Finish-Specific Care
