Parquet Flooring in Penrhyn

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is often installed by using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
