On a side street just off Edinburgh’s busy Princes Street you’ll find a KFC restaurant with a difference. A recent interior refit by Burns Design has transformed the usually drab plastic and fluorescent environments of a fast food outlet, lifting the ambiance and mood of the diner by the simple addition of McKay Flooring Coloured Parquet to a feature wall. The team at Burns Design first spotted the unique coloured parquet blocks on the walls of our Glasgow showroom and were duly impressed enough to commission an order with a bespoke colour swatch for the KFC project. Alongside our recent installation of coloured parquet flooring at Selfridges this unique interior parquet flooring feature is starting to catch on.
Designers and architects can contact us and order some coloured parquet graph paper to aid designing and colouring their bespoke parquet patterns.

Over 30,000m2 of Sports Flooring Each Year
It is little wonder that we land the biggest contracts throughout the country which has led to us laying or sanding floor at Manchester University, Hilton Hotel at Heathrow Airport, McDonalds’ European HQ in London, Liverpool Museum and the National Museum of Scotland. One recent job saw us supply and fit Clyde Lapacho 123mm x 19mm pre-finished solid wood flooring to restaurant and bar at the New Connaught Rooms for the Principal Hayley Hotel Group. Some 450m2 was installed during night shift to accommodate busy site conditions. Elsewhere, we sanded and renovated 600m2 of sports flooring at Glasgow University, sanded and renovated over 1,500m2 of parquet flooring at the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland and installed a Boen dance floor at Bhavan Centre in London. We have also supplied and installed gym floors throughout the country — most recently the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and National Indoor Sports Arena for the 2014 Commonwealth games.

KFC Edinburgh - Coloured Parquet Wall Feature
You don’t have to be an architect or interior designer to come up with a beguiling pattern; just start off with a selection of coloured swatches and then fill in the pattern using, for example, the herringbone template.
We then take high quality European oak parquet blocks and hand finish them to your design with special parquet flooring paint. Creating a wonderful and unique coloured parquet floor is as simple and special as that.
Recent high profile contracts include the ‘Big Yellow Shop’ pop up shop at the Selfridges Oxford Street store and a recently made over KFC Restaurant in Edinburgh City Centre.
