Parquet Flooring in Maghera

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 flooring is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
