Parquet Flooring in King's Lynn

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in numerous different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which function several layers 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, 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 utilising a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
