Parquet Flooring in Batley

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and needs 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 that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
