Parquet Flooring in Dolwyddelan

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 can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern 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 also be manufactured from a massive range of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come 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 floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
