All kinds of modern floor coverings are based on deep historical roots. Take, for example, a kind of floor covering like parquet, which has more than three thousandth history of development. Even the inhabitants of Ancient China and Ancient Egypt used wood as a floor covering. This way of finishing the floor can, to some extent, be considered the prototype of modern parquet. As for Russia, the first mention of the parquet dates back to the 16th century. From that times in the houses began to use in addition to board floors from a whole board, which fit into the entire length of the room, the so-called “squint” floors. Short boards were cut out of oak in the form of bricks (“oak bricks”) and laid on a calcareous base or on a base of roughly processed wood in popular in our time herringbone pattern.
