Parquet Flooring in Ballycastle

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide range 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 styles, 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is often installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
