Parquet Flooring in Cilfynydd

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which incorporate several sheets 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 bend under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
