Parquet Flooring in Sutton-in-ashfield

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
