Parquet Flooring in Clwyd

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 demands 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 often installed by using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
