Parquet Flooring in Huddersfield
Parquet flooring is a sort 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 historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best showcased. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which function several sheets 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, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is often installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
