Parquet Flooring in North Ferriby

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function several sheets 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, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed utilising a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
