Parquet Flooring in Abergwili

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which feature several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
