Parquet Flooring in Harlech

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available 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, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor 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 typically installed using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
