Condition

This Afzelia block has a tongue and groove profile. There is a layer of bitumen on the bases however the professional adhesives now available will fuse with the bitumen and stick successfully without the necessity of removal. Furthermore most of our recommended fitters use it. You can buy our recommended adhesive SikaBond 5500s on our website.

The blocks will require some preparation prior to laying, particularly along the edges. This will ensure a tight fit and therefore a better finish. In addition the floor will need several good sanding passes after the completion of the fitting the floor.

Prior to buying your parquet we recommend that you request a sample  so you know what to expect.

Photos of Afzelia:

The feature photo is of Afzelia which we have laid in a chequerboard pattern. This is because the blocks have been machined to the right proportions. They ones we have for sale will only lay in a herringbone pattern. The photo shows our parquet blocks after fitting, sanding and polishing. It is important to note that this would not be the condition of the blocks as they will arrive. You buy them in their reclaimed condition. The size in the photos may also be different to the one advertised.
