Kasia Maciejowska in The Times today finds that parquet floors are "firmly back in fashion" … "gold or brown parquet is highly desirable if it is reclaimed and resplendent with the patina of use and history". She comments that LASSCO's recent clearances in the V&A and the Home Office "must have felt the fall of a few famous feet."
The "Price Check" makes for good press: The oak parquet is only twice the price of parquet-look vinyl tiles from B&Q but seven times cheaper then the other supplier quoted!
