Parquet Flooring in Cleethorpes

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive range of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
