A Hardwood Floor Border - old and restored.

Another example of a nailed fdown old parquet flooring with a hardwood border (a nail down installation means every piece of the flooring is kept down by a nail and not by adhesive like today). The hardwood border - a well know pattern - is installed near to the wall together with a geometric parquet flooring pattern. This is a restoration - left side the initial state, right hand the restored. Another 100 years of life ahead. All solid, no engineered.

A Typical Installation - Hardwood Floor Border with Herringbone Laid Parquet

Somewhere in the U.K.-

The installation in the image is done in a relatively small room. It is composed from a Herringbone laid parquet pattern in the middle (parquet battens 10x70x350mm) a Greek Key DE (double edge) parquet border pattern and the backfill strip (completes the installation to the wall).

The installation has been done by Naturally Wood Ltd., Loughton, Essex, U.K.


Classic rectangle shape of the border, classic installation.
