Parquet Flooring in Grange-over-sands

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a massive range 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 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
