This geometric mosaic wood style originated in 16th century France and arrived in England about the same year the pilgrims set foot on our eastern coast.

The Sanding Wood Floors company ethos in England surely mirrors the attributes of Tully Spagnoli & Sons Quality Flooring on this side of the pond with “total quality, attention to detail, honesty and integrity, listening and responding, competitive pricing, working to budget.” Sanding parquet floors takes an intricate skill set for the pattern of wood grain in different directions and the many individual pieces of wood potentially glued independently of one another.
Sheepshead Bay is a fantastic waterfront neighborhood in South Brooklyn, and it’s no surprise that homes here have parquet floors and stunning architectural features.

Homeowners and royalty on both sides of the Atlantic cherish and care for these sophisticated, graceful, refined hardwood floor designs.
