What is Versailles flooring?
Versailles flooring is a classic pattern that takes its name from an iconic palace in France. A combination of parquet and checkerboard, these floors feature a repeating pattern of interlocking squares and rectangles. The result is an intricate and sophisticated look.
Our Versailles flooring collection is made from the finest materials, such as hardwood, plywood, and luxury vinyl. All floors in the collection are also created with sustainability in mind. We source our hardwood materials from responsibly managed forests, and we use eco-friendly manufacturing methods to minimize our impact on the environment.
Types of Versailles flooring
Choose from a substantial range of impressive Versailles flooring options. Here’s a brief rundown of the types of Versailles flooring you can purchase:
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) Versailles: LVT Versailles flooring is a type of luxury vinyl tile that is designed to mimic the look of traditional Versailles-style parquet flooring. It is made from multiple layers of PVC and a photographic layer. This gives it a realistic appearance of real wood or stone. LVT Versailles flooring is known for its durability, ease of maintenance, and resistance to water and stains.
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Versailles: SPC Versailles flooring is a type of luxury vinyl flooring that combines stone powder, PVC, and stabilizers. It is also referred to as rigid core flooring and is known for its impeccable durability and stability. This type of flooring often comes in the same style pattern as LVT Versailles, but it will have more natural look and texture. SPC floors also have a click system for easy installation.
Laminate Versailles: Laminate Versailles flooring is made from a combination of high-density fibreboard (HDF), a photographic layer, and a tough wear layer. It is well known for its durability and resistance to scratches but is not as water resistant as LVT or SPC Versailles flooring. This means unless the floor is advertised as being waterproof, you should avoid installing laminate Versailles flooring in high-moisture environments.
Engineered Wood Versailles: Engineered wood Versailles flooring is made of a thin layer of hardwood, on top of layers of plywood or MDF. It is designed to provide the look and feel of solid hardwood flooring, while being more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. It is cheaper and easier to install and maintain than solid wood flooring.
Hardwood Versailles: Hardwood Versailles flooring is made from solid wood, with most using oak due to its versatility, natural beauty, and durability. The Versailles pattern is often hand-carved on the hardwood planks, and the result is a very elegant and rich look. It requires more maintenance than the other options and does come at a more expensive price tag. However, it produces a luxury, authentic finish that will last for decades when properly cared for.
