Anderson Tuftex Provincial Parquet - Parchment AA849-11100
Parchment brings a light, airy feel to Provincial Parquet. These engineered white-oak panels measure 31.5 inches square, forming an elegant checkerboard pattern that nods to historic European flooring. The wirebrushed surface exposes grain and character, while micro-beveled edges define each block without creating deep grooves. A UV aluminum-oxide finish shields the floor from scratches and wear, making it suitable for busy households.
At 5/8 inch thick with a 4 mm veneer, Parchment combines lasting performance with authentic oak texture. High color variation across the light beige palette lends a lived-in quality. This parquet must be glued down to ensure stability, but it can be installed on, above or below grade and is approved for radiant-heat systems. Sustainability certifications-Cradle to Cradle and GreenGuard Gold-add peace of mind.

Installation, Use & Care
Provincial Parquet panels should be glued directly to a clean, dry subfloor using a premium adhesive designed for engineered wood. Carefully align the blocks to maintain the pattern. Allow proper acclimation and leave expansion gaps as specified by the manufacturer. Routine maintenance is simple: sweep or vacuum frequently, wipe spills promptly and damp mop with clean water; avoid steam cleaners and harsh chemicals. Felt pads on furniture and area rugs help preserve the finish.
Parchment's light tone, durable engineering and classic parquet design make it an elegant choice for dining rooms, foyers or other spaces where you want to evoke historic charm with modern performance.
