Parquet Flooring in Kinbrace

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to generate a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will 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 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 often installed utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company will be able to recommend the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
