Parquet Flooring in Hayle

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very elegant flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 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 commonly installed by using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
