Stone parquet is available in the main natural-stone visuals: limestone, slate, travertine, marble and terrazzo, cut as small tiles for herringbone or chevron patterns. The print is registered to a deeply embossed surface so the texture lines up with the design, giving a convincing cut-stone parquet look.

Yes. The vinyl tile does not absorb water and fitted glue-down with a sealed perimeter it makes a fully waterproof floor, which is why stone parquet suits kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, hallways and conservatories. It is warmer and more comfortable underfoot than real stone parquet and pairs well with underfloor heating.

Yes, parquet patterns are more involved than a straight tile lay. The floor has to be set out from the centre line of the room and any error in the first run compounds across the pattern, so it demands an experienced LVT fitter. Our own teams handle stone parquet installs across Cheshire and South Manchester.

It looks like cut stone thanks to high-resolution printing and registered embossing, but it feels warmer and more comfortable than real stone, which is cold and hard. It also warms up quickly over underfloor heating from a cold start, where real stone is slow to heat, making it much easier to live with day to day.

Stone parquet suits both period and contemporary schemes. A limestone or travertine herringbone reads soft and classical in a country kitchen or hallway, while a fine-grained slate or terrazzo in a chevron reads sharp and modern in a designer bathroom or open-plan space. Because it is a stone look in a parquet pattern, it works as a quiet architectural backdrop rather than a bold statement.
