Parquet Flooring in County Fermanagh

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive design over the entirety 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 a very elegant flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide array 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 varieties, the latter of which feature several layers 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 typically installed using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
