Parquet Flooring in Llandeilo
Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring option which is most effective 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 common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes 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 floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is often installed utilising a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company will be able to recommend the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
