Parquet Flooring in Llanbedrgoch

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available 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 array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which feature several layers 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is often installed using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
