Parquet Flooring in Llanybydder

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger 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 appealing pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable 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. A specialist parquet flooring company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
