On a recent trip to Edinburgh we finally were able to take some photos of the extensive parquet flooring works we undertook at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. As part of the two year £17m refurbishment McKay Flooring were commissioned by BAM Construction to uplift existing herringbone parquet flooring and repair, re-lay, machine sand then re-lacquer over 2,000m2 of beautiful old oak parquet, pitch pine and maple parquet battens throughout the historic building – no easy task that involved keeping specialist parquet flooring operatives on site for over a year!
The full extent of our UK wide parquet flooring services can be seen at our specialist Classic Parquet website.

On a side street just off Edinburgh’s busy Princes Street you’ll find a KFC restaurant with a difference. A recent interior refit by Burns Design has transformed the usually drab plastic and fluorescent environments of a fast food outlet, lifting the ambiance and mood of the diner by the simple addition of McKay Flooring Coloured Parquet to a feature wall. The team at Burns Design first spotted the unique coloured parquet blocks on the walls of our Glasgow showroom and were duly impressed enough to commission an order with a bespoke colour swatch for the KFC project. Alongside our recent installation of coloured parquet flooring at Selfridges this unique interior parquet flooring feature is starting to catch on.
Designers and architects can contact us and order some coloured parquet graph paper to aid designing and colouring their bespoke parquet patterns.

We’ve stumbled across some wonderful reclaimed furniture pieces that are currently on display in the 12 x 12 exhibition. This exhibition is a fantastic showcase of the works of 12 contemporary furniture designers and the reclaimed furniture they have created from recycled wood that has been salvaged from New York buildings. The salvaged timbers are a broad mix and represent a range of buildings, historical eras and wood species.
