Parquet Flooring Installation in Singapore
Installing parquet flooring means fitting new wood flooring into a space, from selecting a suitable pattern to preparing the subfloor and completing the installation.
Pro Surface Works installs parquet flooring for homes and offices across Singapore, assessing the space before planning the installation.
What Is Parquet Flooring?
Parquet flooring is made up of individual wood pieces arranged into a pattern, rather than long continuous planks. Different patterns and designs are available, and parquet is used in both residential and suitable commercial spaces.
The individual pieces are what give parquet its distinctive look, and the way they are arranged is what sets one pattern apart from another. This also means installation involves more layout planning than laying down continuous plank flooring.
Parquet Flooring Options for Different Spaces
- Parquet pattern or design
- Wood type, where applicable
- Finish options, where applicable
- Size, thickness or format, depending on what is available
The right combination depends on the space, its usage and the appearance you want, and is discussed during assessment. A living room used mainly for relaxing calls for different considerations than a home office or a commercial reception area that sees constant foot traffic.
Where Can Parquet Flooring Be Installed?
- Bedrooms
- Living areas
- Dining spaces
- Offices
- Other suitable commercial interiors
Choosing the Right Parquet Flooring for Your Space
- How the room is used
- The appearance you want
- The existing interior
- Expected foot traffic
- Maintenance expectations
- The condition of the existing subfloor
No single parquet option is universally the best choice. The right fit depends on your space and how you plan to use it.
Why Site Assessment Matters Before Parquet Installation
- The condition of the existing floor
- Subfloor condition
- Moisture, where relevant
- Levelness of the surface
- Any existing flooring that needs to be addressed
- Room dimensions
- Specific installation requirements
A suitable installation plan depends on the condition of the space and the flooring system being installed. Skipping this step, or working from assumptions about a space rather than an actual assessment, is one of the more common causes of installation problems later on.
Our Parquet Flooring Installation Process
1. Site Assessment
The space and existing floor condition are assessed.
2. Preparation
The subfloor and installation area are prepared.
3. Layout Planning
The desired parquet pattern and layout are planned.
4. Parquet Installation
Parquet pieces are installed using the appropriate method for the space.
5. Finishing & Inspection
Any required finishing is carried out and the completed floor is inspected.
Choosing a Parquet Pattern
- Herringbone
- Chevron
- Other available parquet patterns
The right pattern depends on the visual style you want, the room's proportions, the existing interior and the complexity involved in installation. A more intricate pattern generally takes longer to install and plan than a simpler layout, which is worth factoring into your decision.
Installing New Parquet vs Restoring Existing Parquet
New installation
Where there is no existing parquet floor, or an existing floor needs to be replaced, a new installation is planned from the subfloor up.
Existing parquet
Where a parquet floor already exists but is damaged or worn, repair, restoration, sanding or refinishing is usually more relevant than a new installation.
See Parquet Floor Polishing, Parquet Repair & Restoration or Parquet Floor Sanding & Varnishing for those situations.
Parquet Flooring Installation in Singapore
Parquet flooring is installed in HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes, offices and other suitable properties across Singapore. The right installation approach depends on the specific property and space.
Existing conditions vary considerably between an older HDB unit, a newer condominium and a commercial office fit-out, which is another reason a site assessment is carried out before any installation plan is finalised.
What Can Affect a Parquet Installation?
- Subfloor condition
- Moisture
- Material quality
- Installation method
- Surface preparation
- Layout planning
- Workmanship
These factors, more than any single product choice, determine how well an installation performs over time. Two properties with the same parquet product can end up with different results if the subfloor condition or preparation work differs between them.
Caring for Newly Installed Parquet Flooring
- Follow the recommended cleaning practices for your parquet
- Avoid excessive moisture on the surface
- Use cleaning products suitable for parquet
- Protect the floor when moving furniture
- Follow professional maintenance recommendations
