Parquet Flooring in Donaghadee

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in numerous different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 flooring is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
