Parquet Flooring in Dubai
Al-Rahim Technical Services provides parquet flooring in Dubai — supplied, installed and finished level, durable and clean. With 10+ years serving Dubai, the team works to a fixed, agreed price and guarantees the result in writing.
Want a distinctive geometric wood floor for your Business Bay apartment that stands out from the standard plank look most towers have? Al-Rahim installs parquet flooring, laid block by block by a licensed technician for a pattern that plain planks can’t match.
Al-Rahim Technical Services has fitted parquet flooring in Dubai apartments and offices for 10+ years and is licensed by Dubai Government for interior flooring work. Business Bay’s residential towers combine constant AC use with sun through large windows overlooking the canal, and parquet’s individual wood blocks need careful acclimatisation to that environment before laying to avoid gaps opening later. Every job comes with a written quote agreed before installation starts.
This service suits apartment owners in Business Bay wanting a statement floor in a living room or study, offices going for a distinctive reception finish, and anyone restoring an existing parquet floor that has loose or damaged blocks. Parquet is more labour-intensive than plank flooring, and the pattern work is where a skilled installer makes the biggest difference.
What’s Included
A parquet flooring job from Al-Rahim covers pattern planning through to the final finish coat.
- Subfloor moisture testing and levelling before laying
- Pattern layout planning shown to you before work begins
- Parquet block supply in your chosen wood species and pattern
- Precise block-by-block installation and pattern alignment
- On-site sanding and staining for a seamless finish
- Final protective coat application and drying time
Signs Your Parquet Floor Needs Repair or Replacement
Loose or rattling blocks underfoot mean the original adhesive has broken down, often from years of AC cycling that dries out the bonding layer beneath older parquet installs in Business Bay towers.
Gaps opening between individual blocks, especially where sun hits through canal-facing windows, show the wood has shrunk unevenly. Left unaddressed, dust and grit settle into these gaps and make the whole pattern look uneven from a distance.
Parquet Patterns and Wood Options
Herringbone and chevron are the most requested patterns in Dubai apartments, both using rectangular blocks laid at angles for a distinct visual rhythm. Basket weave and brick-bond patterns give a slightly less formal, more textured look.
Oak is the most common species for parquet due to its stability and even grain, though walnut adds a darker, richer contrast for accent areas like a study or formal dining space.
- Herringbone — classic zigzag pattern, most requested for living rooms
- Chevron — angled points meet in a continuous line, more formal look
- Basket weave — alternating block groups, suited to smaller rooms
What Affects the Price in Dubai
Pattern complexity is the main cost driver — herringbone and chevron take more cutting and alignment time than a simple plank layout, which shows up in labour hours. Block size and wood species also shift material cost.
Room shape matters more with parquet than most flooring types, since the pattern needs to be planned around doorways, columns, and room edges to avoid awkward cut pieces. We walk the space and show you the planned layout before quoting one final number.
Parquet Flooring for Business Bay Apartments and Offices
Business Bay’s towers require coordinated deliveries and lift access through building management, and we build that scheduling into the project timeline so material handling doesn’t hold up the job.
For offices in the area wanting a distinctive reception or meeting room floor, herringbone parquet gives a finished, higher-end look that plain plank flooring doesn’t match, at a cost premium reflecting the extra installation time involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between parquet and regular hardwood flooring?+
Parquet uses individual wood blocks laid in a geometric pattern like herringbone or chevron, while standard hardwood uses long, straight planks. Parquet takes more installation time due to the pattern work involved.
How long does parquet flooring installation take in Business Bay?+
A living room or study of average size takes 3 to 5 days including subfloor prep, pattern layout, laying, sanding, and coating. Larger apartments with multiple rooms take longer due to the added pattern alignment work.
Can damaged parquet blocks be repaired individually?+
Yes, in most cases. We can lift and replace individual damaged blocks without redoing the entire floor, as long as matching wood and finish are available, which keeps repair costs down compared to full replacement.
Is parquet flooring suitable for Dubai’s AC-heavy indoor climate?+
Yes, once properly acclimatised before installation. We leave the wood blocks on site for 48 to 72 hours to adjust to the room’s humidity and temperature, which reduces gapping after the floor is laid.
How do I maintain a parquet floor?+
Sweep or vacuum regularly to keep grit from scratching the surface, use a barely damp mop rather than a wet one, and avoid dragging furniture across the pattern. Reapply protective coating every few years depending on foot traffic.
