Parquet Flooring in Pitlochry

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can recommend the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
