Parquet Flooring in Llanfechain

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can 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 flooring is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
