Parquet Flooring in Moor Row

Parquet Flooring in Moor Row

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to generate a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 requires 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 usually installed using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
