Parquet Flooring in Dollar

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come 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, 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 fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
