Parquet Flooring in Llanwrtyd Wells

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring solution 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 popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which feature 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 bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
