Parquet Flooring in Ammanford

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern over 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 provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very elegant flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. 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 range of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which function 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 bend under these conditions. Parquet is often installed using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
