Parquet Flooring in Kidderminster

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best showcased. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed by using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
