Parquet Flooring in Meifod

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous range of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed by using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can suggest the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
