Parquet Flooring in Penmaenmawr

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each 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 fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which incorporate several sheets 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 typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
