Parquet Flooring in Campbeltown
Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring 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 by using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company will be able to suggest the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
