Parquet Flooring in Bucknell

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which feature several sheets 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, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is often installed using a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
