Patching parquet floor
At Soares Parket, we regularly receive the question whether an existing parquet floor can be extended after a renovation. The answer is a resounding yes.
With more than thirty years of experience in parquet patching, we ensure a result where old and new blend together invisibly.
What does parquet patching involve?
Parquet patching is a specialist craft in which we extend an existing floor with new sections. It requires precision and craftsmanship to match the wood species, colour and pattern perfectly. Whether it concerns a classic herringbone floor or a modern plank floor.
Our floor specialists deliver a result where the transition between existing and new parquet becomes invisible.
When is patching useful?
Parquet patching is the ideal solution in various situations:
- After an extension or conservatory installation
- When removing a partition wall or fireplace
- After water damage to part of the floor
- When replacing a kitchen or bathroom
Craftsmanship makes the difference
Patching a parquet floor involves a great deal of skill. We begin by carefully selecting wood that exactly matches your existing floor.
We then feather out the existing floor, so the new sections connect perfectly. This prevents noticeable straight lines between old and new.
From preparation to end result
The patching process consists of several steps:
- Assessment of the existing floor and selection of matching wood
- Preparing the subfloor where needed
- Feathering out the existing floor
- Placing and fitting the new sections
- Sanding the entire floor
- Finishing with oil or lacquer of your choice
