Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood.
