Parquet Flooring in Porth

Parquet Flooring in Porth

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
