Is this a term for "herringbone parquet"?

The term "folded parquet" can be found, but seems an odd term - I haven't come across it before.

English translation:[mosaic] parquet floors
Explanation:
it's a tautology: a parquet floor is 'skládaný' by definition, but for emphasis one can add 'mosaic' or 'patterned' or something to that effect

Thank you. I decided to treat the word "skládané" as superfluous.

Explanation:
I agree that "a parquet floor is 'skládaný' by definition". More likeky, it should be "vykládané" in Czech.

It means that this is not a simple pattern like "herringbone" and may include various wood kinds and shapes
