Parquet Flooring in Roy Bridge

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
