Laminate flooring has evolved into a solution capable of reproducing with great realism the most iconic designs of traditional parquet. Within this trend, our geometric patterns such as Versailles and Normandie stand out for their aesthetic value and their ability to transform any space.
In the Masterpieces collection from FAUS International Flooring, these two designs reinterpret classic parquet in a laminate format, combining design, technology, and high performance. Unlike traditional parquet, which consists of multiple pieces, these floors are crafted as a single plank that visually replicates the effect of small, joined slats, inspired by classic marquetry. This innovation preserves the handcrafted aesthetic of geometric parquet while offering the advantages of laminate flooring: greater stability, easier installation, and a uniform, high-precision finish.
But what are the differences between Versailles laminate flooring and Normandie laminate flooring?
Classic inspiration applied to laminate flooring
Both Versailles and Normandie have their origins in traditional European parquet, characterized by elaborate geometric patterns and great visual richness. Thanks to FAUS technology, these designs are transferred to high-quality laminate flooring, offering advantages such as:
- High wear resistance
- Easy maintenance
- Quick installation
- Highly realistic finishes
This makes it possible to integrate classic designs into contemporary projects without sacrificing functionality.
Versailles laminate flooring: elegant geometric design and protagonist
The Versailles design in laminate flooring is synonymous with sophistication. Inspired by the floors of the Palace of Versailles, it features a complex geometric structure based on interlocking square modules.
Within this proposal, FAUS International Flooring offers two different designs:
- Versailles Saharaa warmer and brighter tone that brings naturalness and visual amplitude, ideal for contemporary spaces with an elegant touch.
- Versailles Parqueta more classic and deeper interpretation, with more contrast and character, perfect for more sophisticated environments.
Main characteristics:
- Decorative pattern with high visual impact
- Symmetrical and structured design
- Ideal for large and elegant spaces
- Provides a classic, exclusive, timeless style
Versailles laminate flooring is designed for projects where the flooring becomes the central element of the interior design.
Normandie laminate flooring: balance and contemporary design
The Normandie design in laminate flooring offers a lighter and more versatile alternative to geometric flooring.
In the Masterpieces collection, this design comes in two variants:
- Normandie Naturela more natural and softer finish that enhances the clarity and continuity of the space.
- Normandie Bruna more intense and enveloping tone, ideal for creating warm environments with more personality.
Its main characteristics are:
- Cleaner and neater pattern
- Greater visual continuity
- Smoother and more balanced aesthetics
- Adaptability to modern and minimalist styles
Normandie laminate flooring is ideal for those looking for an elegant design without overloading the space.
Which laminate floor to choose: Versailles or Normandie?
The choice will depend on the type of project and the aesthetic result to be achieved:
- Choose Versailles laminate flooring if you are looking for a striking, elegant design with character. In addition, its large format (120 x 60 cm) further reinforces its presence and prominence in the space.
- Opt for Normandie laminate flooring if you prefer a balanced, modern and versatile environment. Its more stylized format (120 x 40 cm) provides visual continuity and facilitates its integration in different types of projects.
Both options represent an innovative solution for incorporating geometric parquet into laminate flooring, adapted to current market requirements.
