Parquet Flooring in Coleraine
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 traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive selection 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 styles, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed by using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
