Parquet Flooring in Isle Of Coll

Parquet Flooring in Isle Of Coll

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive design across the whole 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 solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed by using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
