The Berkshire Wood Effect Porcelain collection is offered in 2 shades of natural oak and has been created to imitate the striking aesthetics of parquet flooring with a magnificent parquet de Versailles design. Parquet hardwood flooring dates back over many centuries but was made famous in the French Renaissance by the captivating parquet de Versailles, installed within the Hall of Mirrors in the Versailles Palace in 1684. Originally made from small blocks of wood arranged together in a variety of eye-catching geometric designs including chevron and herringbone.
