Parquet Flooring in Llanarth

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very elegant flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in numerous different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which incorporate 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, inappropriate 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 expert parquet flooring company will be able to recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
