Wood blocks can be a beautiful and unique option for flooring, and there are several types to choose from. There are end grain blocks, which are made by slicing a tree trunk into small, uniform blocks. Face grain blocks are made from planks of wood that are sliced lengthwise. Parquet blocks are made by joining small pieces of wood together into patterns. Each type of block has its own unique look and benefits, and they all require different installation and maintenance methods.
