Parquet Flooring in Askam-in-furness

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer 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 numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes 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 requires little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed by using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
