Parquet Flooring in Wooler

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across 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 give the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous selection 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 incorporate several layers 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, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
