Parquet Flooring in Marazion

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring option which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 demands 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 commonly installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
