Parquet Flooring in Lincoln

Parquet Flooring in Lincoln

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet comes in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
