Parquet Flooring in Invergarry
Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in numerous different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which incorporate 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 typically installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
