Parquet Flooring in Aberffraw

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a huge array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
