Buying flooring for a small room or a focused update can feel like choosing between two very different spaces. The Hartco pack brings solid oak parquet squares, while the Sumatra pack brings a pebble mosaic for walls and floors. Both are new 5-square-foot options, yet they're built for different priorities: one for a classic wood look, the other for texture and moisture resistance. The decision comes down to where the tile will live and how much upkeep you want.
Quick verdict
Choose the Hartco Oak Parquet if you want a wood surface with a natural finish and a straightforward glue-down install. Choose the Sumatra Pebble Mosaic if you want a lower-priced stone tile that can handle showers, patios, and other wet areas. The Sumatra costs $58.90 versus $89.95 for the Hartco set, so the stone option is the lower-priced one.
At a glance
| Product | Price | Price bar | Coverage | Finish | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Sumatra Pebble Mosaic | $58.90 | 5 sq ft per case | Gray matte | Wet areas and outdoor projects |
Where Hartco wins
If your priority is a wood surface that looks like traditional parquet, the Hartco set is the clear match. It ships with 20 solid-oak squares, each 6" x 6" x 5/16", with tongue-and-groove edges. The urethane finish suits a living room, bedroom, or accent area where you want wood grain instead of stone texture.
Where Sumatra wins
The Sumatra pebble tile earns its place when moisture, texture, or outdoor exposure is on your list. It's a gray natural-stone mosaic with straight edges, and it's rated freeze-resistant, heat-resistant, and waterproof. It can go on a shower floor, pool surround, patio, or pathway, which makes it much more flexible for damp or outdoor spaces than wood parquet.
OAK PARQUET FLOOR: 20pcs 6"x6"x5/16": Hartco Natural 5 Sq ft NEW
If your project calls for real wood, this Hartco parquet set is ready to install as a glue-down floor. You get 20 oak squares with a smooth surface and a urethane coating, and the tongue-and-groove edges help the pieces lock into a parquet layout. It's made in the United States and is designed for straightforward installation. The trade-off is that the solid-wood construction and glue-down method mean it's not a floating floor, so you'll need a subfloor that accepts adhesive. If you're covering more than a small area, you'll have to buy multiple 20-piece sets.
Sumatra Pebble Natural Stone Mosaic Wall & Floor Tile ($9.21/SqFt
This pebble mosaic is the more adaptable choice when the floor might get wet. The gray natural-stone pebbles form a matte, straight-edge tile that's waterproof, freeze-resistant, and heat-resistant, so it suits showers, pool areas, patios, and pathways. It also comes from Indonesia and can be used indoors or outdoors, which makes it a flexible first box for a larger project. Because the pebbles are mounted as a mosaic, the surface has a natural irregular texture that gives it a less formal look than a smooth wood parquet. The maintenance is the catch: natural stone needs regular sealing and prompt spill cleanup, so expect ongoing care rather than a wipe-and-forget surface.
