Choosing a parquet floor often comes down to two questions: how much area do you have to cover, and what wood look do you want? At the same $89.95 price, two very different hardwood parquet bundles are competing for your attention: a Traffic Master bundle and a Hartco bundle. The right choice depends mostly on coverage and wood type.
If you want the most square footage for your money, the Traffic Master bundle is the straightforward pick. If you prefer a natural wood look, want smaller tiles, and like a glue-down design, the Hartco bundle is worth a look even though it covers less area.
| Feature | Traffic Master | Hartco Oak |
|---|---|---|
| Bundle coverage | 10 sq ft | 5 sq ft |
| Tile size | 12" x 12" x 5/16" | 20 pieces of 6" x 6" x 5/16" |
| Wood | Solid hevea hardwood | Solid oak |
| Edge | Tongue and groove | Tongue and groove |
| Finish | Prefinished urethane | Urethane finish |
| Origin | United States | United States |
| Price | $89.95 | $89.95 |
Traffic Master wins on coverage: you get twice as much floor per package, and the larger tiles mean fewer pieces to lay. Hartco wins on wood type and flexibility: the smaller pieces are easier to fit around corners and tight spaces.
Traffic Master 10 SF Hardwood Parquet Flooring
This bundle gives you 10 square feet of solid hevea hardwood parquet in a classic finger pattern. The tiles arrive prefinished with a urethane surface, and their edges lock together for a connected look. The clearest reason to choose it is the coverage: you get twice as much floor area as the Hartco bundle for the same outlay. The trade-off is the return policy: the seller does not accept returns for parquet flooring, and color differences from photos are not a valid return reason. So be confident about the finish before ordering. For a small room, closet, or utility area, this bundle's square footage is the strongest argument.
Hartco Oak Parquet Floor (20pcs 6x6x5/16 Natural)
This Hartco bundle is built around solid oak, with 20 pieces of 6x6 parquet that total 5 square feet. The natural finish shows off the oak grain, and the tongue-and-groove edges pair with a glue-down application that is easy to install. The smaller tile size gives you more flexibility in tight cuts and around corners, which can make repairs or accent sections easier. The concrete limitation is the coverage: you get half the square footage of the Traffic Master bundle, so larger areas will require multiple packages. The seller suggests ordering a single tile first if you're trying to match an existing floor, which helps with color confidence. This bundle is a better fit for a small patch, a sample, or a project where the oak look matters more than total area.
Choose the Traffic Master bundle when you need to cover the most area and want a straightforward parquet tile. Choose the Hartco bundle when smaller pieces and a natural wood look matter more than total square footage. Both are new and made in the United States, so the decision really comes down to how much floor you need and what wood you want to see underfoot.
