Old Adhesive and Bitumen
Older floors were laid in bitumen or strong adhesives. They can bleed through new finishes. They are treated before sealing.
Vintage Parquet Restoration in Dubai
Older villas in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim and Al Barsha often hide original solid parquet under carpet or years of worn varnish. Solid blocks can be restored many times. We re-fix, match missing blocks, sand and refinish so the original floor becomes a feature again.

- Step 4
Finish
Gaps are filled and the floor stained if wanted and sealed.
Challenges
Common Challenges With Older Parquet
Carpet Glue and Tacks
Carpet laid over parquet leaves glue and nail holes. Glue is removed and holes filled. The timber underneath is often perfect.
Missing Blocks
Blocks removed for pipes or repairs. We source reclaimed or matching blocks. The pattern is restored.
Deep Wear and Stains
Decades of traffic and spills. Solid blocks allow deep sanding. Most stains come out.
Saving Original Floors
Solid parquet laid decades ago is often thicker than modern engineered floors, so it can take a full restoration. Restoring it keeps the character of an older villa and costs less than replacing it.
Uncovering parquet under carpet is always a surprise. We lift a test area first to see the condition before committing to a full restoration.
For new patterns, see custom parquet patterns. For repairs, see parquet repairs, and for colour, parquet staining.
Test Area
We lift a small area of carpet first to check the parquet.
Character
Small marks of age can be kept for character.

Vintage Parquet Restoration: FAQs
How Can I Restore Old or Damaged Parquet Wooden Flooring in Dubai?
Most parquet can be restored. Loose blocks are re-fixed, damaged ones replaced, then the floor is sanded back to fresh timber, gaps filled and resealed with lacquer or oil. Engineered parquet can usually be sanded a few times depending on its wear layer.
Is Sanding Included in Wood Restoration?
Yes. Full restoration includes sanding back to clean timber, filling, staining if wanted and sealing. Light refreshes can use a screen and recoat without full sanding.
Do You Offer Custom Parquet Flooring Designs and Colours?
Yes. We install herringbone, chevron, basket weave and other patterns, with borders and inlays, and stain or oil the floor to the colour you choose.
Do You Offer Water-Damage Repair for Parquet Flooring in Dubai?
Yes. We find and stop the moisture source, lift swollen or lifted blocks, dry the subfloor, replace damaged timber and refinish so the repair blends in.
