Q: Why is parquet flooring more expensive than standard flooring?
A: Parquet flooring tends to be more expensive than standard flooring for several reasons:
At MM Parquet & Carpentry with parquet flooring we often use high-quality hardwoods, which are generally more expensive than the materials used in standard flooring. Exotic or premium woods like oak, walnut, and mahogany contribute to higher costs. So our parquet flooring involves more intricate and labour-intensive installation. The small pieces of wood are arranged in detailed geometric patterns such as herringbone, chevron, or basket weave, which requires precision and skill. This increases both labour and time costs compared to simpler installation methods, like laminate or engineered
The intricate designs of parquet flooring add to its aesthetic appeal and uniqueness. At MM Parquet & Carpentry our patterns require more attention to detail and a higher level of expertise, contributing to the higher price.
But this in turn will give you higher quality parquet flooring which is durable and can last many years if properly maintained. While this can justify the cost over time, the initial investment is higher. Additionally, maintaining parquet flooring to keep it in top condition might entail specific care products and techniques, leading to increased costs., which we give all the correct advice and products to use when we have finished your installation .
