Versailles Panelling originated in the 1600s in the French Palace of Versailles and comprises square panels of wooden blocks arranged in a distinctive basket-weave pattern.

Versailles panel flooring creates a regal and elegant look to a heritage property, showcasing craftsmanship and highlighting the colour and texture variations in the wood. Over a large floor area, Versailles panel flooring can make a grand impression.
