Parquet Flooring in Llanwrda
Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed by using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
