Parquet Flooring in Crewe

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design 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 may also be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor 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 utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
