Parquet Flooring in Llandudno

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 meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 flooring is durable and demands 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 number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
