Italian Parquet Tile Restoration – Almagro
Period townhouse in the Almagro neighborhood · Chamberí, Madrid · Italian-style tiles with marquetry
Work performed
Full restoration of the Italian-style tile floors in a period townhouse in the Almagro neighborhood (Chamberí, Madrid). The building dates from the 19th century, and the home combines the Italian-style tiles with plank flooring in old and new pitch pine.
Floor characteristics
Large square tiles made of cross-laid oak boards, with perimeter moldings in walnut and chestnut. After decades of use some pieces had come loose, and the darkened varnish hid the contrasts of the pattern.
Intervention
The loose pieces were secured and glued back, the corners were repaired, and the floor received controlled sanding with dust collection. The final coat of clear waterborne varnish restored the floor’s brightness and original appearance.
