Merbau Floor
Merbau reclaimed parquet flooring is from South East Asia and Australia. Also known as Borneo Teak it has a good character grain in mid to dark red-brown tones. Most importantly it's a very good quality, heavy timber and as a result will sand back to a lovely face. Read more about the qualities of this species on our wood types webpage.

Quantity

Smaller amounts for repairs or infills:

If you just want to do an infill area, we will try to match the size and species for you before you buy so that you are sure of the wood type.

In order to use this service, we will ask for good photos in focus to be emailed with all three dimensions of the parquet block (L-W-D) and your full contact details please. In addition, you may need to send us an original block that we are matching. Please be ready to do this as it helps a lot with identification and we prefer to use our expertise than you guessing!

Condition

The Merbau blocks are a square edged block, and all are in good, reclaimed condition with relatively clean sides. Furthermore there is a layer of bitumen on the bases. The professional adhesives available these days will fuse with the bitumen and stick successfully without the necessity of removal. You can buy our recommended adhesive SikaBond 5500s on our website.

The blocks will require some preparation, prior to laying, particularly along the edges. As a result this will give a tight fit and therefore a better finish.  In addition of course, the floor will need several good sanding passes after the completion of the block laying.

Photos of Merbau:

The photos show our parquet blocks after sanding and polishing. This is not the condition of the blocks supplied, which will be in their reclaimed condition. The feature photo is of Merbau as supplied by us and laid by professional fitters. The size may be different to the one advertised.
