Parquet Flooring in Dalmally

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 requires little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable 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 number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
