If you do, take into account the maintenance cost of a wooden parquet floor.

Parquet flooring hails all the way back to 1684, when it replaced marble in Versailles, France. The marble flooring used prior to this had to be cleaned constantly, and the water would run down to the under- lying floor supports, causing them to rot. Parquet, noted for its beauty and strength was also easier to clean, thus its use spread quickly.
