Abstract
Abstract A finished parquet element for attaching to a surface having a plurality of members bonded in one layer so as to be thin in relation to the element''s length and width. The element is coated with a sealant. Interconnecting means are disposed on opposite edges of the element. To increase the element''s flexibility grooves are cut along the underside of the members. The elements come equipped with fastening means disposed along the underside of the members for securing the element to the surface. In one embodiment, an elastic foundation is attached to the member''s underside to increase its shock resistance.
