Parquet flooring kitchen or bathroom?

Parquet floors kitchen or bath?

We frequently get asked: parquet flooring kitchen or toilet? The answer is generally yes. We sell to many clients who have used reclaimed parquet in either or both chambers. Oak and Pitch Pine are very popular for kitchens. They seem to work well. Tropical hardwoods are largely more suitable for bathrooms. These species deal better with humidity and therefore are more stable in support.

You could think about tiling the area close to the sink and dishwasher if you aren't confident of keeping the place dry. There is a picture showing this under.

Our Very Best advice for fitting this parquet is:

Fill the gaps between the blocks after fitting. This ensures that any moisture doesn't penetrate below
the parquet which could cause problems afterwards.
Use a fantastic water-resistant top-coat.
Aftercare of flooring:

Do wash up spillages as soon as possible to take care of your flooring.
Don't use bleach onto your floor.
Do utilize an proper hardwood flooring cleaner.
Utilize a lightly damp sponge and dry after -- excess moisture will cause difficulties.
