Parquet Flooring in Usk

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which incorporate 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, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company will be able to recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
