Parquet Flooring in Withernsea

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching 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 wide range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 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 generally installed using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
