Parquet Flooring in Aughnacloy

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very elegant flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which feature several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and demands 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 series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
