Parquet Flooring in Rushden

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 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 that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
