Parquet Flooring in Tintagel

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 flooring is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed utilising a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
