Parquet Flooring in Bonnybridge

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 requires little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet floor company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
