Parquet Flooring in Blakeney
Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which feature several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed utilising a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
