Cheap parquet flooring

[littlem133]

We're purchasing a house which requires complete renovation and we have the smallest budget EVER!! I really love parquet flooring for the downstairs kitchen/family room, hall, loo but it's soooo expensive. What are the cheaper alternatives and do they look ok-tiles, karndean etc?

No idea sorry, but will be watching with interest if you don't mind as I would love parquet flooring too? Hopefully someone knowledgeable will come along soon!

Try reclaimed parquet. I bought from a company called parquet parquet and it is gorgeous! Fitting isn't cheap though but if you are handy you could DIY

Oh thanks for that tip. We're not any food at DIY but we'd have to pay someone to put the floor down whatever we get!!! I'll have an Internet look now
