Parquet Flooring in Betws-y-coed

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and needs 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 usually installed using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
