Parquet Flooring in Glossop

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide 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 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 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 commonly installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet floor company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
