Parador Ranges Guide
Parador’s engineered wood catalogue runs to 104 products across nine named series and short of standing in a Parador showroom for an afternoon there is no substitute for putting the actual sample boards in your hand under daylight to work out which range fits your project. Grosvenor Flooring holds physical Parador samples across five ranges in the Altrincham Wood Room: Classic 3025, Classic 3060, Trendtime 3 (herringbone), Trendtime 4 and Chevron. This guide covers each sampled range in per-range spec depth, positions it against the wider Parador catalogue and explains how to make the sample-first decision efficiently. For the brand-level overview across all nine Parador series see our Parador flooring review UK.
Key takeaways
- Grosvenor holds physical Parador samples across five ranges in the Altrincham Wood Room: Classic 3025, Classic 3060, Trendtime 3 (herringbone), Trendtime 4 and Chevron. The full 104-product Parador engineered wood catalogue is available for supply-only order across the UK.
- The five sampled ranges bracket the value-premium through design-led tiers of the Parador price ladder, which is where the majority of Parador specification conversations resolve. Flagship-tier ranges (Trendtime 10, Harmonia, Maradune) are available to order with direct samples from Parador on request.
- Warranty across all five sampled ranges is 25 years residential when supplied through the approved retailer channel and installed to Parador’s installation guidelines.
- Every sampled range is UFH-compatible up to Parador’s 27 degrees C surface temperature envelope.
- For Parador ranges we do not yet sample (Basic 11-5, Trendtime 6, Trendtime 10, Harmonia, Maradune) samples ship direct from Parador at no cost within a few working days.
Parador Classic 3025
Classic 3025 sits in Parador’s value-premium tier. It is the sharpest step-up from the Basic 11-5 entry series and delivers the specification most Parador buyers land on when the brief is “real engineered oak from a premium European brand at accessible pricing”.
Classic 3025 Construction and Specification
Classic 3025’s core specification points:
- Construction: Multi-layer engineered oak
- Oak wear layer: 2.5mm sawn oak top layer (the “3025” naming reflects the 2.5mm dimension embedded in the series code)
- Format spread: 3-strip and Wide plank
- Wood species: Oak
- Naming convention: Wine grape varieties (Malbec, Chianti)
- Colour finishes: Natural, light-whitewashed
- Underfloor heating: Compatible
- Warranty: 25 years residential
Classic 3025 Product Line-Up
Named products in the sampled Classic 3025 range include:
- Oak Malbec 3-strip in natural finish. The reference calm-toned oak specification. Sits well against contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
- Oak Malbec 3-strip in light-whitewashed finish. Pale-warm oak reading with a subtle white treatment across the surface.
- Oak Chianti Wide plank in natural finish. Wider-format Classic 3025 with warm oak character.
- Oak Chianti Wide plank in light-whitewashed finish. Wide-format pale-warm oak specification.
Where Classic 3025 Fits in a Real Project
Classic 3025 specifies well on projects where the buyer wants real engineered oak from a premium European brand at accessible pricing, the 2.5mm oak wear layer matters for re-sanding potential and the wine-grape naming vocabulary reads as design-forward without being pretentious. Full pricing framework in our Parador flooring prices guide.
Parador Classic 3060
Classic 3060 sits in Parador’s design-led tier. It steps up from Classic 3025 into a larger board format and adds the Wide plank dominant format spread that pairs well with design-led interior schemes.
Classic 3060 Construction and Specification
Classic 3060 shares the core Classic-series engineering with a larger-format focus:
- Construction: Multi-layer engineered oak
- Format spread: Wide plank dominant with some 3-strip
- Wood species: Oak
- Naming convention: Wine grape varieties continuing (Soave, Sauvignon)
- Colour finishes: Natural, white and light-whitewashed variants
- Underfloor heating: Compatible
- Warranty: 25 years residential
Classic 3060 Product Line-Up
Named products in the sampled Classic 3060 range include:
- Oak Soave Wide plank in natural finish. Warm oak reading in the larger-format Classic specification.
- Oak Soave Wide plank in white finish. Pale contemporary reading on the larger board.
- Oak Sauvignon 3-strip in light-whitewashed finish. Classic 3060 3-strip variant with the light-whitewashed treatment.
Where Classic 3060 Fits in a Real Project
Classic 3060 is the Classic-series buyer’s step-up when the specification calls for larger plank scale at design-led rather than flagship pricing. It works particularly well in open-plan living spaces, kitchen-diners and reception rooms where a wider board format establishes the floor as a design element without pushing all the way into Trendtime series pricing.
Parador Trendtime 3 (Herringbone)
Trendtime 3 is Parador’s herringbone specialist. The engineered wood variant delivers the flagship Parador herringbone specification and is our reference sampled range for buyers whose brief includes any pattern-format flooring.
Trendtime 3 Construction and Specification
The Trendtime 3 engineered wood herringbone specification:
- Construction: Multi-layer engineered oak
- Format: Herringbone (7 products in the current UK range)
- Wood species: Oak
- Grading: Living (allows visible oak character)
- Surface options: Matt lacquer, Natural oil plus
- Joint pattern: 4-sided mini bevel (M4V)
- Underfloor heating: Compatible up to 27 degrees C surface temperature
- Warranty: 25 years residential
Trendtime 3 Product Line-Up
Named products in the sampled Trendtime 3 herringbone engineered wood range include Oak cream (Matt lacquer), Oak Pure (Natural oil plus) and the Oak Studioline, Oak Skyline, Oak Oxford, Oak Regent and Oak Mont Blanc families. Full detail in our dedicated Parador herringbone flooring hub.
Where Trendtime 3 Fits in a Real Project
Trendtime 3 engineered wood herringbone is the answer for buyers whose brief calls for herringbone from Parador. The Living grading, the 4-sided micro-bevel joint pattern and the choice between Matt lacquer and Natural oil plus surface treatments combine to deliver a design-forward pattern floor at Parador’s design-led tier pricing. Full herringbone installation context is in our herringbone flooring guide.
Parador Trendtime 4
Trendtime 4 is Parador’s Wide plank trend-forward series. Italian region naming (Molvina, Lugana) reflects the design-led aesthetic identity.
Trendtime 4 Construction and Specification
Trendtime 4’s specification points:
- Construction: Multi-layer engineered oak
- Format: Wide plank
- Wood species: Oak
- Naming convention: Italian region references (Molvina, Lugana)
- Colour finishes: Natural, light-whitewashed and design-led variants
- Underfloor heating: Compatible
- Warranty: 25 years residential
Trendtime 4 Product Line-Up
Named products in the sampled Trendtime 4 range include:
- Oak Molvina natural Wide plank. Natural warm oak reading in Trendtime 4’s design-forward wide-plank format.
- Oak Lugana natural Wide plank. Alternative natural oak specification in the Trendtime 4 vocabulary.
- Oak Lugana light-whitewashed Wide plank. Pale-warm oak reading with the light-whitewashed surface treatment.
Where Trendtime 4 Fits in a Real Project
Trendtime 4 is where Parador buyers landing on wide-plank format specifications at design-led tier pricing tend to find the closest match. It sits above Classic 3060 on design-forward aesthetic language and below the premium Trendtime 6, Trendtime 10 and flagship Harmonia and Maradune ranges on wear layer depth.
Parador Chevron
Parador’s chevron 45 degrees format runs across the wider engineered wood range as a pattern format that sits alongside Trendtime 3 herringbone as the second pattern-format option in the Parador catalogue. We hold a Chevron sample in the Wood Room specifically to let buyers compare the chevron pattern side-by-side against Trendtime 3 herringbone under the same lighting.
Chevron Construction and Specification
Chevron 45 degrees in the Parador engineered wood range sits across the Trendtime and Classic families with the following consistent specification points:
- Construction: Multi-layer engineered oak
- Format: Chevron 45 degrees (6 products in the current UK engineered wood range)
- Wood species: Oak
- Underfloor heating: Compatible
- Warranty: 25 years residential
Where Chevron Fits in a Real Project
Chevron specifies when the buyer wants the visual rhythm of a pattern floor but prefers the cleaner angular geometry of a V-formation over the interlocking Z-formation of classical herringbone. It reads as more architectural and modern than herringbone in most interior schemes. Setting-out and fitting labour are materially higher than either herringbone or straight plank because the 45-degree cut geometry has to be maintained precisely along both the pattern centreline and the wall boundaries.

Sampled Ranges Compared
The five sampled Parador ranges each occupy a distinct project territory. The comparison below is the fastest way to shortlist against your specific brief.
| Range | Format | Naming vocabulary | Price tier | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic 3025 | 3-strip + Wide plank | Wine grape (Malbec, Chianti) | Value-premium | Real oak from a premium European brand at accessible pricing with 2.5mm oak wear layer |
| Classic 3060 | Wide plank + some 3-strip | Wine grape (Soave, Sauvignon) | Design-led | Larger board format Classic at design-led rather than flagship pricing |
| Trendtime 3 | Herringbone | Places (Studioline, Skyline, Oxford, Regent, Mont Blanc, Oak cream, Oak Pure) | Design-led | Real oak herringbone from Parador with Matt lacquer or Natural oil plus finish |
| Trendtime 4 | Wide plank | Italian regions (Molvina, Lugana) | Design-led | Wide-plank design-led oak at Parador’s trend-forward aesthetic |
| Chevron | Chevron 45 degrees | Across Trendtime and Classic families | Design-led to premium | V-formation pattern flooring where architectural geometry matters more than traditional herringbone |
Parador Ranges We Don’t Yet Sample
Four Parador engineered wood series sit outside our current Wood Room sample offer but remain fully available for supply through Grosvenor. Direct samples ship from Parador at no cost within a few working days.
Basic 11-5. Parador’s entry-tier engineered wood series in 3-strip and Wide plank formats. Wine grape naming vocabulary shared with Classic 3025.
Trendtime 6. Extended Trendtime series across formats. The engineered wood variant sits at the design-forward end of Parador’s range.
Trendtime 10. Premium Wide plank Trendtime series with nature-inspired naming (Oak Terra, Oak Sienna). Flagship-tier spec within the Trendtime family.
Harmonia and Maradune. The two new sustainability-forward flagship collections. Harmonia carries a 13mm plank thickness with 3.6mm oak top layer and extra matt lacquered surface. Maradune adds Parador’s SurfaceONE technology with desert-region naming (Kalahari, Tanami, Savanna).
Full spec detail across the wider range is in our Parador flooring review UK.
How to Make the Sample-First Decision Efficiently
Standing in the Wood Room with five Parador samples plus the wider GF own-brand range and the Kahrs sampled collections can be a lot to work through in one visit. The efficient approach is to shortlist against three questions before you visit.
1. Straight plank, herringbone or chevron? This resolves format quickly. Straight plank buyers focus on Classic 3025, Classic 3060 and Trendtime 4. Herringbone buyers head straight to Trendtime 3. Chevron buyers compare the Chevron sample against Trendtime 3 herringbone under matched lighting.
2. Warm-natural or pale-contemporary tone? This resolves colour direction. Warm-natural buyers focus on the “natural” finish variants across ranges. Pale-contemporary buyers focus on the “light-whitewashed”, “white” and “Matt lacquer cream” finish variants.
3. Value-premium or design-led budget? This resolves tier. Value-premium buyers focus on Classic 3025. Design-led buyers can span Classic 3060, Trendtime 3, Trendtime 4 and Chevron freely.
Answering those three questions before the Wood Room visit typically resolves the Parador shortlist down to 2-3 samples to compare in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why only five Parador ranges sampled in the Wood Room?
The five ranges cover Parador’s value-premium and design-led tiers, which is where the majority of Parador specification conversations resolve. Rather than spreading sample coverage thinly across all nine engineered wood series we hold physical samples for the ranges most buyers actually shortlist. The other four series (Basic 11-5, Trendtime 6, Trendtime 10, Harmonia, Maradune) ship samples direct from Parador at no cost within a few working days.
Can I order any Parador product even if you don’t sample it?
Yes. The full 104-product Parador engineered wood catalogue plus the wider Modular One, Vinyl, Laminate and Taterra families are available for supply through Grosvenor as an approved Parador retailer.
Do you sample the flagship Harmonia and Maradune collections?
Not currently in the Wood Room. Harmonia (13mm plank, 3.6mm oak top layer, extra matt lacquer) and Maradune (SurfaceONE technology, desert-region naming) samples ship direct from Parador on request within a few working days.
Is there a difference between the Classic 3025 3-strip and Wide plank?
Format only. The 3-strip Classic 3025 shows two visible dividing lines along the length of each board where the three oak strips are jointed side-by-side. The Wide plank Classic 3025 is single-strip with a continuous oak face across the full board width. Construction and specification are consistent across both formats.
Which sampled Parador range works best for underfloor heating?
All five sampled ranges are UFH-compatible up to Parador’s 27 degrees C surface temperature envelope. Classic 3025 and Classic 3060 tend to specify particularly well on whole-floor UFH projects because the multi-layer engineered wood construction handles thermal cycling forgivingly. Full UFH protocol in our engineered wood + underfloor heating guide.
Can I visit and compare all five samples?
Yes. All five Parador samples are on physical display in the Altrincham Wood Room. Access is 24/7 through the smart-lock system.
Which range gives the best value?
For plank-format buyers Classic 3025 delivers 2.5mm oak wear layer at value-premium tier pricing. For herringbone buyers Trendtime 3 engineered wood delivers Parador’s flagship herringbone specification at design-led tier. Full pricing framework in our Parador flooring prices guide.
Ready to Specify a Parador Range?
Send your Parador enquiry with the sampled range you’re focused on (or ask us to shortlist against a project brief), room dimensions, target format (plank, herringbone or chevron), colour direction and timeline. Visit the Altrincham Wood Room to compare the sampled ranges in person. For fitted-project quotes across Altrincham, Manchester and Cheshire we cover Parador supply-and-fit across all the sampled ranges plus the wider catalogue on request.
