Parquet Flooring in Llandysul

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern 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 offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function 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 suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
