Point de Hongrie parquet flooring in antique oak

Oak parquet point de Hongrie represents the most refined expression of chevron flooring. Boards are cut at precise angles, typically 45 or 60 degrees, allowing perfect alignment along a central axis.

This pattern has long been associated with French classical architecture and high-end interiors. It creates symmetry, depth, and a strong architectural presence, especially in large reception rooms.

When executed in antique oak, the pattern gains additional richness through natural grain variation and aged surfaces.

Choosing between herringbone, chevron, and point de Hongrie

Each parquet pattern produces a different spatial effect. Herringbone offers balance and visual rhythm. Chevron introduces movement and direction. Point de Hongrie delivers symmetry and architectural structure.

The choice depends on room size, ceiling height, and the desired visual impact. Smaller rooms often benefit from herringbone, while larger spaces can fully express the strength of chevron or point de Hongrie layouts.

In all cases, antique oak provides consistency, durability, and long-term value.

Installation and finishing considerations

Patterned parquet flooring requires precise installation. Subfloor preparation, alignment accuracy, and joint consistency are critical to the final appearance. Because reclaimed boards vary slightly, installation relies on visual adjustment rather than rigid measurement.

Natural oil finishes are commonly used to protect antique oak while preserving its texture and patina. These finishes allow the wood to age naturally and can be renewed over time.

A timeless and durable wood flooring solution

Herringbone, chevron, and point de Hongrie parquet floors are long-term architectural investments. Their patterns remain relevant across design trends, while antique oak ensures durability and repairability.
