Parquet Flooring in Dunblane
Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a huge array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and demands 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 typically installed by using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
