Parquet Flooring in Abergorlech

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which incorporate 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, 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. An experienced parquet flooring company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
