Parquet Flooring in Llanidloes

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge array of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which incorporate several sheets 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, inappropriate 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 that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
