Parquet flooring is a sort 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 each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may 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 may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which incorporate 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, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company will be able to advise you of the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.

Balerno is a residential area of Edinburgh, Scotland situated 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, next to Currie and then Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno falls within the jurisdiction of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name stems from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, suggesting "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest created records of Balhernoch or Balernach are found in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought substantial growth to the area, with lots of brand-new flax, snuff and paper mills emerging around the Water of Leith and also its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (proof of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill located near the centre of the old town closed in the very early 1980s. After the First World War residence structure started in earnest in the area and since then domestic pressures have nearly overloaded commercial and industrial ones. There was a brief loop railway running over what is now the Water of Leith Walkway.
