What Influences Parquetry Flooring Prices?
-
Pattern Complexity
Simple brick-bond layouts cost less than intricate herringbone or Versailles designs. -
Timber Type
Australian hardwoods like Spotted Gum and Blackbutt are more robust (and slightly higher in price) than imported Oaks. -
Subfloor Preparation
Concrete levelling or moisture barriers add to setup cost but ensure longevity. -
Installation Method
Glued-down parquetry takes more time and precision than floating parquet tiles. -
Finish & Coating System
Water-based polyurethane, oil, or hardwax finishes each have different pricing and benefits. -
Area Size
Larger continuous spaces often reduce the per-metre rate due to efficiency of labour.
Why Parquetry Is Worth the Investment
While parquetry flooring may cost more than standard floorboards, it delivers unmatched elegance, strength, and lifespan.
Properly installed parquetry can last for generations — and can be sanded and refinished multiple times, unlike many modern flooring types.
The geometric parquetry flooring patterns (such as herringbone, chevron, and basket weave) add sophistication and value to any property, enhancing both aesthetics and resale appeal.
Floorcraft Timber Floors uses only premium hardwoods and eco-friendly coatings, ensuring each floor is not just beautiful but built to endure Australia’s unique climate.

Herringbone Parquetry Cost & Style
Herringbone parquetry remains the most requested pattern — a true blend of tradition and modern elegance. Expect costs to range between $160 and $250 per m², depending on timber species and finish.
Each block is positioned at a 90-degree angle to create the iconic zigzag pattern, a design that enhances light and space while adding texture and visual rhythm. Our expert team ensures perfect alignment and symmetry throughout the entire layout.
Cost of Parquetry Floor Restoration
If you already have parquetry flooring, restoration is often far more cost-effective than replacement. Typical parquet floor restoration costs start from $70 per m², including sanding, filling, recoating, and light repairs.
For heritage homes or commercial spaces, this process renews the natural timber beauty while preserving the original design. Our restoration specialists can also blend new sections seamlessly into existing patterns, maintaining authenticity and value.
Eco-Friendly Options & Long-Term Savings
Our eco-friendly coatings and adhesives help reduce long-term maintenance costs while protecting indoor air quality.
Water-based finishes dry quickly, are odour-free, and resist yellowing — making them a smart investment for modern homes.
Choosing quality timber and sustainable coatings ensures fewer repairs, lower upkeep, and a floor that looks beautiful for decades — proving that premium parquetry is both elegant and economical over time.
