Parquet Flooring in Lydbury North

Parquet flooring is a type 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 meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 floor is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
