Parquet Flooring in Wrexham
Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically 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 elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which feature several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed by using a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
