Parquet Flooring in Shifnal

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function several layers 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, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
