Parquet Flooring in Cromer

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
