Parquet Flooring in Renfrewshire

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring solution which is most effective in 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 be manufactured from a wide array 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 varieties, the latter of which incorporate several layers 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 often installed using a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
