Parquet Flooring in Woolacombe

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern over 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 effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 needs 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 by using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
