Parquet Sheet Vinyl Flooring

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is parquet sheet vinyl?

Parquet sheet vinyl is made to look just like traditional solid wood parquet flooring. Best known for their contrasting zig-zag pattern, parquet style floors have been a popular choice for homeowners for centuries. 

Parquet sheet vinyl, like the Tudor Mansion Extra Hengrave, emulates the warmth and texture of wood, offering a softer, more forgiving surface under your feet. It also benefits from a low maintenance and durable design, making it well suited to busy family households. 

Do parquet vinyl floors look realistic?

It can be difficult to distinguish between parquet vinyl floors and solid wood parquet flooring. The level of realism in the designs is often staggering, replicating real wood's intricate patterns, grains, and textures. Whether it’s a herringbone pattern reminiscent of a French Chateau floor or a classic basketweave design like Atlas Mocha, parquet vinyl floors capture the essence beautifully. Not only do they look realistic, but a textured surface makes even the grains feel authentic. 

Are parquet sheet vinyl floors waterproof?

One of the fabulous benefits of parquet sheet vinyl is its waterproof design. Traditional wooden parquet is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which means it can’t be installed in high-moisture areas. Vinyl parquet flooring, on the other hand, is fantastic for areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where splashes and spills regularly occur. With a design like the Tudor Mansions Extra Brereton, you can create a cosy yet regal atmosphere in your bathroom without worrying about water damaging your floor.

How do I install parquet vinyl flooring?

Parquet vinyl flooring can be installed using the looselay or glue down method. With the looselay technique, you won’t need adhesives or nails; you just lay the sheet down into place. Even the glue down method is simpler to follow than the installation method for traditional parquet flooring. There are no individual planks to secure down, instead, you install it in one large sheet. 

You'll need to start by making sure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before rolling out the vinyl and cutting it to fit the room using a sharp utility knife. Then either place or glue it down. 

Where can vinyl parquet floors be installed?

The great thing about vinyl parquet floors is they can be installed anywhere in the home, including moisture-prone areas like the bathroom. Their ability to handle moisture and easy maintenance make them great for both high and low-traffic areas. Imagine a cosy study with a chevron parquet pattern or a welcoming entryway with a classic Versailles pattern. The options are endless!

Does parquet vinyl flooring come with a backing?

Parquet vinyl flooring comes with either a felt or foam backing. This ensures the floor performs flawlessly while adding cushioning, making it more comfortable to walk on. It also helps to reduce noise, and the foam backing can also smooth out minor imperfections in the subfloor. Another advantage to their backing is that it adds a layer of insulation, making your floors feel warmer during those chilly mornings. 

How long will parquet vinyl last?

Parquet vinyl floors can last anywhere from 10-25 years if taken care of correctly. Their lifespan can vary based on factors like the quality of the floor and the amount of foot traffic it endures. You can opt for a thicker wear layer if you expect heavy traffic, such as our range of 0.3mm wear layer floors.
