Almost anyone looking to purchase a home has heard of parquet floor. It’s considered an asset to a home and usually listed in the description. There are, however, different styles and different techniques to parquet floor. They styles can range from a floor that has a mosaic style to a more lavish floor with intricate inlaid designs.
Historically, cheaper floors were made from plain wood. The wood strips were nailed together without much decoration or flourish. When the parquet technique was first developed, many builders embraced the technique. It gave them a way to make floors in less expensive homes unique and decorative. The wood used for parquet floors also proved to be durable and resistant to moisture and rot.
Parquet floors can be made from almost any type of wood. The requirement for the wood is that it be strong and lasting. Woods such as oak, walnut, cherry, pine and maple are popular choices. Home owners may also choose to use mahogany or some type of tropical hardwood. These have a rich, dark color that gives the floor a luxurious tone.
Parquet patterns are typically geometric figures that are angular. Herringbone, for example, is the most popular parquet pattern. Other common patterns include basket, chevron and brick. Some patterns use a combination of patterns. The result of technique can be a pattern that has floral or sunburst themes.
Materials for a parquet floor can be found at most home improvement stores. Most of these stores also have employees that can give help and guidelines to someone installing a parquet floor. Typically, a parquet floor can be installed over a weekend. A homeowner can then create a pattern of their own to match the decor of the house. However, for a large room, or for a parquet floor with an ornate pattern, it is recommended to hire a professional.
Parquet flooring is just one way a home owner can add a touch of warmth and creativity to their house. Patterns of parquet floors can range from simple geometric shapes, to larger and more ornate sunbursts. With the appropriate installation, parquet patterns can be more of a work of art than just a pattern on a floor.

The foam pads used for laminates are often moisture barrier's. By not allowing the moisture from the concrete anywhere to go, it will trap it with the wood parquet. Wet wood swells and will cause the laminate to fail. For this reason, laminate should not be laid on top of parquet which is on a concrete subfloor.

You could but would you want to? There are some things to consider in this situation. First, the condition of the parquet. Are there loose spots? Will adding hardwood over it present height issues in doorways or adjoining flooring (i.e. tile, carpet, vinyl,etc). Will the baseboard now look to low?
But by removing the parquet your given an opportunity to address the above conditions as well as things like: (1) tightening loose subfloor boards with screws or nailing and (2) replacing damaged subfloor wood if any.
Most likely the parquet is installed on an underlayment. If the parquet is glued to it you also remove the underlayment or you'll have to address the glue that is still stuck to it.
Removing the parquet will entail more work but believe me you'll end up with a better job and a tighter nicer installation.
Now..........if this parquet is somehow glue to concret that's another matter. Also I'd ask the company your considering buying your flooring from the same question you've posted here. Hope this helps.
John Yes you can but you have to be aware that it will raise your floor level and you'll have to trim doors and door frames.

You need to contact flooring companies and get estimates. It depends on the area you want to cover, the type of parquet floors you pick, and how much to install them to get a total cost. The prices can vary between companies. I suggest at least 3 estimates.

No for many reasons. First, wood, especially parquet style are not suitable subflooring. Slate requires an extremely strong substraight. If you are not on a concrete slab, you must create one with either a 1/2" cement board or a mudbed from metal lathe, sand, and portland cement. Even on concrete with parquet on the top would not work. The moisture that naturally comes through the cement would force the wood up in time as the water has no place to escape to.
Also, the thinsets used on slate tiles would cause the wood to swell. These are mixed with water and can damage a wood subfloor.

Parquet flooring is a beautiful, durable type of hardwood flooring and often it is made from waste products from hardwood that is left over manufacturing furniture or other wood products. Parquet flooring is seldom made from veneers so it can be refinished without being concerned about wearing through the surface. Choosing parquet flooring is a good choice for people who want to do what they can to green their home.
Oak is a common, renewable material used for parquet flooring and is one of the most durable types of wood to use for a floor because it is a dense wood and does not easily dent. The most common types of parquet flooring are the 12 inch square tiles that are easily put down using wood glue. Once a parquet floor has been installed, it will last for years with little more attention than sweeping or vacuuming. The finishes used on parquet flooring stand up to scrubbing with mild soap and water and they can even be steam-cleaned.
Parquet floors are much greener than other kinds of flooring because they use natural materials and will last 30 years or longer. Most carpets are made from synthetic materials which use hydrocarbons. Carpets do not last nearly as long as wood flooring and many used carpets end up in landfills where they take hundreds of years to decompose. Carpets also require pads whose useful life is about as long as the carpet itself.
Parquet flooring does not emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), either, as do some carpets. Hardwood floors do not require frequent vacuuming, either, which uses electricity, and they are far easier to keep clean, especially if the family has children or pets.
Wood is a good insulator and parquet flooring will help moderate indoor temperatures, so not only does a parquet floor look great in a home, it helps the environment by reusing products that would otherwise end up in landfills. It lasts a long time, and is easy to install and even easier to keep clean. It will not show wear, can be refinished time after time, and is one of the greenest solutions for flooring.

I was recently quoted 50 cents to $1 per square foot to remove parquet. So based on that, I'd guess $250-$500. It seems more expensive to remove than other wood floors because it's tile-like and requires more effort. Hope that helps!

Solid parquet flooring blocks are hard wearing and look nice when polished. Carpeting is less noisy, but needs daily vacuuming and monthly cleaning, especially in areas of heavy use. Ceramic floor tiles are easy to clean with a mop, and can look very nice.
In the home, if there are children, a mixture of parquet (for whizzing toy cars up and down) and carpet (for the child to fall asleep on) is a good compromise.
