Artistic parquet

  rosette-picture
• 
  angular element
• 
  curved ornament
• 
  mosaic pattern

The border is a mosaic tape with a geometric pattern or curvilinear ornament, the width of which can range from a few millimeters to a meter. The width of the border depends on its purpose. Artistic parquet in the form of a curb can be used for different purposes: both for framing the main parquet, and for dividing into zones, and as a boundary between different types of flooring.
