Parquet Flooring in Forsinard

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in numerous 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, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
