Parquet Flooring in Aberlour

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed utilising a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
