1. Begin by preparing the subfloor – if necessary use a self-leveling compound to create a flat and even surface.
2. Lay the strips of parquet in the desired pattern, starting from the center of the room and working outward.
3. Secure the strips with a suitable adhesive and use a rubber mallet to tap them into place.
4. Cut the strips to fit around obstacles in the room, such as door frames or radiators.
5. Use a jigsaw to make intricate cuts where needed.
6. Apply a sealant to the entire floor to protect it from dirt and moisture.
7. Finally, buff the floor with a soft cloth and apply wax to give it a glossy finish.
