It is interesting that engineered modular parquet appeared before solid parquet. In the 18th-19th centuries, instead of plywood, pine boards knocked together were used as a base for the panels, to which parquet rivets were glued with fish glue. Solid modular parquet is glued with strong polyurethane adhesives, before their widespread use, it was impossible to maintain the geometry of such a complex structure without a base.

Specifics of application
For centuries, modular parquet was used to decorate palaces and various types of ceremonial premises. In the second half of the 20th century, panel parquet with a simple pattern of small planks (rivets) became widespread in the USSR in the decoration of standard series houses. Unlike the old modular parquet, which was more of an elite floor covering, Soviet panel parquet was intended for the mass market. Cost reduction was achieved by saving raw materials (small planks no more than 20-30 mm).
