Parquet Flooring in Caerphilly
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 purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a huge array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by 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 floor is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed by using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
