Parquet Flooring in Inner Hebrides

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 floor is durable and needs 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 usually installed using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
