Parquet Flooring in Bath

Parquet Flooring in Bath

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring option which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge variety 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 variations, 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 flooring is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed by using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
