Parquet Flooring in Castlederg

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide range 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 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 demands 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 often installed by using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
