Parquet Flooring in Clydebank

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come 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 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 often installed by using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
