At Luxury Wood Flooring, we specialise in the supply, installation, and aftercare of various types of real wood flooring. Indeed, among our most iconic and sought-after options is the Versailles parquet panel—a symbol of heritage craftsmanship and refined European elegance.
What Are Versailles Parquet Panels?
Versailles Parquet Panels or Parquet de Versailles, are named after the famous Palace of Versailles (Château de Versailles) in France, where in 1684 they are introduced for the first time as parquet de menuiserie (“woodwork parquet”). A necessary replacement of the existing marble flooring in the palace was required. The joists beneath the flooring tended to rot, due to the everyday washing. Elegant & Stylish wooden flooring was then introduced to Louis IV and since then a Versailles parquet became a symbol of the royal taste. In the era of The Sun King, this exceptional Parquet design marked the beginning of the classic parquet flooring and became a universal trend in Europe.
Unlike strip flooring or standard planks, Versailles panels are pre-assembled square sections that fit together to create a seamless, decorative floor. Their unique structure makes them ideal for grand spaces, period homes, luxury hotels, and high-end residential projects.
Craftsmanship and Customization
Apart of our standard range and sizes of Versailles Parquet Panels, we also offer made to order options. Our craftsmen select the finest European oak or other premium hardwoods and construct each panel by hand or using precision CNC technology. Clients can specify dimensions, timber species, finishes, stains, and surface textures.
Whether you’re restoring a heritage property or designing a contemporary space with classic touches, we tailor every element—from grain pattern to aged appearance—to match your vision. Our custom Versailles parquet panels offer unmatched elegance and flexibility for any luxury interior.

Our in-house finishing service offers a wide range of options, including:
- Smoked and fumed treatments to deepen tones and highlight grain
- Hand-scraped or brushed textures for tactile authenticity
- UV oils, hardwax oils, or lacquers for durability and aesthetic effect

Each finish is designed to protect the wood while enhancing its natural beauty. Your Versailles parquet floor can be as bold, subtle, rustic, or refined as you like.
