Parquet Flooring in Killin

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully 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 works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a huge range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which feature several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
