Oak parquet, also called 'duo plank' or 'multi plank parquet', is a layered wooden floor. The floorboards consist of a bottom layer of cross-glued waterproof birch plywood and a top layer of solid oak.
Advantages of oak parquet flooring
All Uipkes parquet floors are made with a top layer of high-quality oak wood that comes from sustainably managed European forests. As a result, your floor can last for decades and the impact on the environment is more limited than is the case with other floor types.
Parquet flooring and underfloor heating
Because a parquet floor hardly reacts to temperature fluctuations and changes in humidity, shrinkage and expansion of the floor is kept to a minimum.
Moreover, a parquet floor has a low heat resistance. These properties ensure that parquet flooring can be combined well with underfloor heating.
Parquet and laying patterns
Oak wood is easy to work with and can be laid in different patterns. Variations on the laying patterns are also possible. Consider, for example, a double herringbone floor or the elbow pattern in which we rotate the floor parts of the herringbone floor a quarter turn.
Floorboards in many colors and sizes
Uipkes parquet floors are finished with oil in a color of your choice. We have developed 90 exclusive colours, so there is almost always a color that suits your taste. If that is not the case, we can make a custom color for you.
In addition to the color choice, we have a wide range of length and width dimensions for the floorboards. Consider, for example, floorboards of 28 centimeters wide that fit perfectly with a rural interior.

Parquet consists of several layers, with a top layer of solid wood and a base layer of various (wood) materials. Solid wood floors consist of one thick layer of wood, which makes them more expensive than parquet flooring.
A wooden floor from Uipkes can last at least 50 years with normal use. Due to the treatment with oil, it no longer needs to be sanded, which extends its lifespan.
